To strengthen the department's organization for practice-based education (VFU), a new administrative position is being established. The role will be developed in close collaboration with the department's VFU organization and based on an understanding of the conditions and challenges of healthcare and social care operations. The work is based on knowledge of the importance of practice-based education within both educational activities and healthcare and social care organizations.

We are now looking for an administrative VFU coordinator who wants to play a central role in creating well-functioning, legally secure, and quality-assured administrative processes for practice-based education.

Job Responsibilities

The role involves qualified administrative work with responsibility for coordination, process development, and digital working methods.

As an administrative VFU coordinator, you are responsible for the administrative coordination of practice-based education within the department's advanced-level educational programs. The assignment includes planning, forecasting, ordering, and administering placements for VFU sites, as well as following up and contributing to the development of administrative processes related to VFU.

You have a special responsibility to develop, quality-assure, and coordinate digital administrative working methods related to VFU. The role includes implementation, user support, and further development of digital tools and processes with the aim of creating efficient, legally secure, and long-term sustainable working methods.

A central part of the role is to ensure quality, clarity, and legal security in VFU administration. This includes, among other things, developing and managing routines, working methods, templates, information flows, and documentation that support equal and efficient handling of VFU issues. You contribute to ensuring that administrative processes are appropriate, sustainable, and well-established among relevant functions.

The work is carried out in close collaboration with the department's basic-level VFU coordinators, course coordinators, program coordinators, track coordinators, educational administration, study counselors, and the vice-dean for education. You also have ongoing contact with external partners regarding issues related to ordering, placement, and follow-up of VFU.

An important part of the assignment is to ensure clear, correct, and appropriate communication with students, internal functions, and external parties before, during, and after VFU periods. You provide administrative support to students regarding their VFU and handle student cases related to the VFU process.

Furthermore, the role involves supporting program coordinators, track coordinators, and educational administrators in quality evaluations, follow-ups, and development work related to VFU. You contribute with administrative knowledge, process understanding, and materials that support the department's systematic quality work.

The work is characterized at times by high tempo, fixed timeframes, and a need for good foresight. You will also serve as a backup for the department's basic-level administrative VFU coordinator and, together with them, develop common working methods, routines, and administrative processes.

Other tasks may occur, and the role may develop over time.
