Celebrate Christmas in Paamiut!
We are looking for a nurse from November 23, 2026, or by agreement for 2-3 months.

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 manage health promotion, prevention, examination, and treatment. Some tasks are handled by support staff who are specially trained in, for example, X-ray, planned blood tests, etc. As a nurse, one handles consultation and emergency room work, as well as work with hospitalized patients in the ward and pharmacy function.

As a nurse in Paamiut, you have 7-10 night 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-call nurse has a better opportunity for rest.
