Job Advertisement: Nurse at Kungälv Hospital

The hospitals in the west are an administration within the Västra Götaland Region and consist of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. About 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

Hello!

We are now looking for you who want to work with us this summer! We are the orthopedic and surgical department at Kungälv Hospital, located in our beautiful facilities on the second floor.

About Us

Almost 5 years ago, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern hospital ward buildings. The department has 28 beds where all patients have their own room including a bathroom. The environment is fresh and easy to work in. The department focuses on broad orthopedic and surgical care, both acute and planned. We care for patients with acute conditions following trauma, accidents, and illness. Patients with infections and pain issues are also treated in the department.

Our goal is to continuously develop and improve our operations and to always strive to become even better when it comes to patient safety, patient satisfaction, and work environment.

We care about maintaining a good working climate, a safe environment, and close collaboration during both good and less good days. Your future colleagues are a wonderful group who are caring towards patients, relatives, and each other, and together we make the department a place where everyone can thrive.

Job Responsibilities

As a nurse with us, you will have the opportunity to work broadly within both orthopedics and surgery - and you will be an important part of our change and improvement work. You will work closely with nursing assistants, doctors, paramedics, and medical secretaries on a daily basis.

What Can We Offer?

• Work shifts with the possibility to work nights/evenings/days as well as weekend shifts.
• Mentor nurse
• Competent and wonderful colleagues

Our goal is for all new employees to integrate into the work as smoothly as possible, which is why you will receive an individually tailored introduction. In our department, we have a mentor nurse with extensive experience from the operations who will guide and support new employees through the introduction and will also be available afterwards for follow-up and to provide support and advice.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse and have an interest in working in emergency care. It is advantageous, but not a requirement, if you have experience in orthopedic or surgical care and are used to taking responsibility and making independent decisions.

You enjoy challenges, have the ability to make quick decisions, and can handle acute situations calmly and methodically. For you, good collaboration skills, joy in working in a team, and a good attitude towards both patients and colleagues are a given. It is also important that you can work independently.

Working in a ward is teamwork, and we therefore place great importance on personal suitability. We hope that you want to become our new colleague!

Other

Interviews will be conducted continuously during the advertising period, so do not hesitate to submit your application!

We look forward to meeting you!
