Together we develop Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future

We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading university hospital by 2032. Together with our patients, we strive for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – within an integrated healthcare system in Västra Götaland. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, as well as highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify daily life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About us

At the Children's Heart Center, we care for children from all over the country in connection with heart surgery, cardiac catheterization, heart transplantation, and other investigations and treatments for children with heart disease.

The Children's Heart Center at Queen Silvia's Children's Hospital is one of Sweden's two centers with the mission of National Highly Specialized Care (NHV) in pediatric cardiac surgery, and we also perform highly specialized pediatric cardiology.

We work with Patient-Centered Care where clear teamwork among various professionals provides us with the conditions to create value for the patient. Pharmacists, nursing assistants, service hosts, and administrative staff relieve other healthcare personnel of tasks that are not patient-related, allowing you to provide professional care.

What do we offer?

We believe in a good start and have a comprehensive introduction package. This includes an individually tailored introduction period of six weeks and continuous guidance from both mentors and experienced colleagues. We offer professional development through training, lectures, and reflection opportunities.

The management of the department consists of a department head, two unit managers, and two section leaders, all with a background in the field. We offer you an exciting workplace with good camaraderie and a lot of joy at work!

Job Responsibilities

As a nurse with us, you will be responsible for the care of children and adolescents undergoing investigation or treatment for congenital or acquired heart disease. You will work in a team with other nurses, pediatric nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals, offering you a varied and stimulating job with much joy at work.

About you

We are looking for a pediatric nurse who enjoys working with children of all ages and following the patient's entire care journey. We want you to have the interest, willingness, and ability to help others and to be interested in contributing to the development of our operations.

When we make hiring decisions, we naturally consider personal suitability.

Selection and interviews will take place continuously during the application period.

Welcome with your application!

In the event of recruitment of a nurse with foreign qualifications/specialist certificates, the current position will be preceded by a process to meet the requirements for Swedish qualifications/specialist certificates.
