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 everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About us

Our unit consists of three clinics: Specialist Maternal Care Clinic, Clinic for Pregnant and Recently Delivered Women, and Ultrasound Clinic. All three clinics work closely together. Our partners also include other obstetric services and Region Health. We are now looking for a midwife for the Specialist Maternal Care Clinic. We are open to shared duties between our outpatient clinics.

Description

The Specialist Maternal Care Clinic offers maternal health care for chronic medical conditions that may affect pregnancy or worsen during pregnancy. We meet pregnant women with diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, rheumatic disease, and transplant patients, which leads to a great variety of interactions with the pregnant women. We also follow pregnant women where pregnancy complications have arisen that require special monitoring, such as gestational diabetes.

Job Responsibilities

As a midwife, it is important to work with the healthy and support and empower individuals during pregnancy and childbirth. Most of our pregnant women follow Region Health’s basic program with the possibility of extended follow-up based on needs. We offer home monitoring for our pregnant women, which is appreciated. At the Specialist Maternal Care Clinic, midwives, doctors, and nursing assistants work in a close team, all with specialist knowledge regarding complicated pregnancies. Additionally, dietitians, secretaries, and diabetologists are included on a consulting basis in the maternal health care team.

We are a wonderful team that works well together and learns from each other. We enjoy our tasks and are committed to maintaining a good collaborative climate at work.

As a midwife, you will receive group supervision, an important part of our work for a good working environment. The care we provide is continuously developed through ongoing improvement projects, and we have midwife-led master's and doctoral projects ongoing from the unit. We offer a stimulating, independent, and enjoyable job with good development opportunities where we are committed to ensuring that you receive further education during working hours.
