Vacant job

Do you want to help shape the future of healthcare closer to citizens? Are you passionate about development work?
Then we have the job for you! To meet the challenges and needs of the future, a transformation of the healthcare system is underway across Sweden. This entails both great opportunities and demands for adaptability, trust, and cross-border collaboration to ensure that society's resources are used in the best possible way. The transformation referred to as Close Care focuses on addressing individual needs and abilities while promoting health in various ways. Care and support need to come closer to citizens and make them more involved. A strengthened primary care, provided by both regions and municipalities, forms the hub of close care. Specialized care needs to be transformed into more open forms of care and offered in new ways.

We are now looking for two regional coordinators in the area of:

• Eastern Norrbotten (Kalix, Haparanda, Överkalix, Övertorneå)
• Northern Norrbotten (Gällivare, Kiruna, Pajala, Jokkmokk)
