Spend Christmas in Paamiut. In the Christmas position, you have the opportunity to bring a spouse/partner as well as one child living at home under 18 years, after further agreement with the hiring manager.

We are looking for a nurse from December 1, 2026, until January 4, 2027.

We continuously need nurses, so if you can only come in 2027, we will also figure that out.

Paamiut has about 1250 inhabitants. The health center employs 3-4 nurses, 1 doctor, 2 medical students, 1 physiotherapist, health assistants, interpreters, porters, and cleaning staff.

Queen Margrethe's Health Center is part of the Health Region Sermersooq, where Queen Ingrid's Health Center in Nuuk is the largest.

The health center's task is to promote health, prevention, examination, and treatment. Some tasks are handled by support staff, who are specially trained in e.g. X-ray, planned blood tests, etc. As a nurse, you will handle consultation and emergency room work, as well as work with hospitalized patients in the ward and pharmacy functions.

As a nurse in Paamiut, you have 7-10 on-call shifts/month, where you are on call from home from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM. We have employed 2 medical students who take turns having day shifts on weekends, so the on-duty nurse has a better opportunity for rest.
