Job description

On behalf of Ullensvang Municipality, we are recruiting nurses for permanent positions in municipal healthcare services in Jondal, Western Norway.

You will work across both nursing home and home care services, giving you the opportunity to use a broad range of your nursing skills. You will follow patients over time, make independent clinical assessments and work closely with colleagues and other healthcare professionals.

Jondal is a small community in the Hardanger region on Norway's west coast, around 1 hour and 45 minutes from Bergen by car and ferry. Here, you will live by the Hardangerfjord, surrounded by mountains, with Folgefonna, one of Norway's largest glaciers, just 19 kilometres away.

Moving to another country is a big step, and we will support you throughout the process. Dignus Medical provides free Norwegian language training, assistance with Norwegian authorisation and practical support with relocation and settling into your new community.

About the position

As a nurse in Jondal, you will work with patients with different healthcare and care needs, both in a nursing home and in their own homes.

• Providing nursing care and following up patients
• Clinical observation, assessment and documentation
• Medication management and treatment
• Providing care to patients in nursing homes and in their own homes
• Making independent clinical assessments
• Working closely with colleagues and other healthcare professionals
• Communicating with relatives and other parts of the healthcare service

Who are we looking for?

You:

• Speak English fluently and are highly motivated to learn Norwegian
• Are willing to complete our free Norwegian language programme before starting work
• Hold a valid driving licence

We help you prepare for working in Norway

You do not need to speak Norwegian when you apply. If you are selected for the position, Dignus Medical will guide you through the entire process of preparing for your move to Norway.

We provide:

• Free online Norwegian language training with a private teacher
• Language training up to the required B2 level, including Norwegian for healthcare professionals
• Assistance with your application for Norwegian nursing authorisation
• Guidance with the documentation and administrative processes required before starting work
• Help with finding accommodation and practical aspects of relocating to Norway
• Personal follow-up before, during and after your move

The language training and authorisation process take place before you start working, so you have time to prepare both professionally and practically for your new life in Norway.

Life between the fjord, mountains and glacier

Jondal is located in Hardanger on Norway's west coast, around 1 hour and 45 minutes from Bergen by car and ferry. It is a small community of around 400 people, situated directly by the Hardangerfjord and surrounded by mountains. Folgefonna, one of Norway's largest glaciers, is only 19 kilometres away.

Nature is part of everyday life here. After work, you can hike in the mountains, kayak or fish on the fjord, or simply enjoy the quiet surroundings. In winter, the area offers excellent opportunities for skiing and other outdoor activities.

Despite its small size, Jondal has the essentials you need for everyday life, including a grocery store, places to eat and local cultural and leisure activities. If you are moving with your family, Jondal has both a kindergarten and a school for children from primary through lower secondary level, as well as a library, swimming pool and sports facilities. Odda is around 40 minutes away by car, while Bergen offers a larger city environment and an international airport.
