The advantages of living in Northern Denmark

• Good work/life balance. We offer a 37-hour working week, a generous pay package and 5 weeks paid annual Holiday
  
  
• Although taxes are high in Denmark, so are the salaries, which means your take-home pay will still be more than you would make in most other European countries. Typically, your starting salary as a medical specialist will be around DKK 50,000 a month before tax. After tax, you can expect to receive approx. DKK 30,000
  
  
• You will receive full salary from day one, even though you will be spending most of your time learning Danish for the first few months
  
  
• Continuing education – as a doctor you are entitled to annual, employer-funded continuing education.
  There are also good opportunities for sub-specialisation in cooperation with the region’s university hospital in Aalborg
  
  
• Research. We do not consider research to be an optional extra, but something all our medical specialists are expected to engage in
  
  
•  Housing: You can rent low-cost housing through the hospital, or we can help you find a place to rent or buy in the private market
  
  
• Relocation: We will help you and your family with practical matters and support your integration into the local community. If relevant, we will also do what we can to help your spouse find Work
  
  
• You will have plenty of opportunity to enjoy North Denmark’s beautiful scenery.
  The tip of Jutland is surrounded by water on three sides. The unique quality of light that this creates is celebrated in the works of the world-famous Skagen Painters of the late 19th century.
  Northern Jutland is also famous for its excellent surfing conditions at Cold Hawaii, and for its rich bird life.
  Northern Jutland is, quite simply, a great place to pursue outdoor activities, whether you enjoy white, sandy beaches, mountain biking, kitesurfing or something else entirely.
