Health Assistant Wanted for Deputy Chief Position in the Consultation

Do you want to take responsibility, develop employees, and help set the direction?

The Regional Hospital Sisimiut is looking for an engaged and proactive health assistant for a permanent position as deputy chief in the consultation, starting on November 1, 2026, or by agreement.

Do you want to take the next step in your career and try your hand at leadership – or do you already have leadership experience? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you.

As deputy chief, you will be a central part of the daily operations in our consultation and emergency room. You will have the opportunity to combine clinical nursing with leadership, coordination, development, and professional sparring – and you will have a workday where no two days are alike.

A role with responsibility and influence

As deputy chief, you will work closely with the head nurse and be jointly responsible for the daily management and operation of the consultation.

Your areas of responsibility will include:

• Planning and coordinating the daily operations
• Work schedules, weekly plans, and other administrative tasks
• Introduction, training, and guidance of new employees
• Professional development and competence development within the staff group
• Updating and implementing guidelines and procedures
• Participation in staff and leadership meetings
• Depot responsible

You will also have an exciting everyday life

The position is primarily in day shifts in the consultation.

Your clinical tasks will include:

• Independent nursing consultations
• Triaging acute and outpatient inquiries in collaboration with other nursing staff
• Receiving and assessing patients in the emergency room
• Assisting doctors with minor surgical procedures

Additionally, you will be part of the on-call function with weekend duty every third weekend. You should also expect on-call duties from home on weekdays as well as assisting with coverage during illness, vacation, and course activities as needed.

We offer:

• A thorough introduction to both the workplace and the deputy chief role.
• An exciting and varied everyday life with professional and managerial challenges.
• Opportunities to develop your skills in leadership
• A strong collegial community and good interdisciplinary collaboration.
• A high degree of independence and responsibility.

We are looking for you who:

• Are a trained health assistant and have broad knowledge and experience in nursing.
• Want to develop yourself in leadership – or already have experience as a leader.
• Thrives with responsibility and can maintain an overview in a busy and changing everyday life
• Is curious, initiative-driven, and motivated by new challenges
• Can work independently and at the same time knows when it is important to seek sparring
• Has good collaboration skills and actively contributes to a good working environment
• Is flexible and willing to take responsibility when the situation requires it

You do not need to know everything from day one. The most important thing is that you have the desire to take responsibility, the courage to learn, and the motivation to make a difference.

With us, you will meet a fine mix of employees with different levels of competence and experiences. This provides good opportunities for learning, sparring, and development across professional groups.

Do you want to take the next step?
