Neurosurgery Department

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. In addition to our role as a regional hospital, we provide highly specialized care and serve two million people in central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother is operated on, a colleague is hailed as a hero of life. We believe that honesty lasts the longest, and it's no secret that we need to grow. As a colleague with us, you will experience a lot. Tough challenges but also fantastic events, strong community, and support from colleagues and fellow human beings.

Do you have a brain for it?

Then we would love for you to come and work with us in the neurosurgery department 85E! We are looking for new colleagues who are interested in an exciting job that allows you to work with the most important thing a person has - the brain. If you also want to influence and develop our operations, then you have come to the right place!

“The work is varied and often challenging, but we are a good and close-knit team with mixed experiences who support each other and help out. Together we provide safe neurosurgical care, and every day we develop both as individuals and as a team” - Maria 85E

”The staff is my most important asset! My focus is on the well-being of the staff, and together we create a good work environment where we all develop and drive the department forward” – Cornelia, department head 85E

Your mission

As a nurse with us, you will become part of a skilled team, where we support and help each other while you will have the opportunity to develop your clinical eye and work independently. We have a close collaboration with other professions, and you will be an important piece of the puzzle in both our work with the work environment and in patient safety on the ward. With us, you will encounter a varied job with challenging tasks that give you a broad competence. As a nurse with us, you will generally work in four-care teams during the day and evening, which means about six to seven patients per team. If you are an experienced nurse, there is also the opportunity to work night shifts.

Our operations

We have a large catchment area as we are one of six highly specialized neurosurgery clinics in Sweden, and we receive both planned and emergency patients around the clock. The patients we care for have head bleeds, brain and spinal tumors, spinal injuries, vascular malformations, and hydrocephalus. The brain is the most important thing we have and the part that determines our body and who we are. The brain is a mystery we are constantly learning more about. It controls everything we do, or cannot do. Does that sound exciting? Come and be a part of our fantastic team! You are warmly welcome to shadow us to create your own impression of our department and my leadership style.

We have a close collaboration across departmental boundaries to focus on the work environment and do the best for our employees. We have active leadership that contributes to structure and a good work environment, which is very important to us.

Your qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. If you have previous experience as a nurse, it is an advantage, but even if you are newly graduated, you are warmly welcome to apply.

Your competence

You are attentive and have an easy time communicating with colleagues, patients, and relatives. You are an outgoing person, stress-resistant, and can juggle many tasks at once. You can work independently and in a team. You have an interest in developing our operations where the patient is always in focus. You have the ability to prioritize and reprioritize your tasks as needed. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities as the work requires flexibility and a positive attitude.

We offer

We offer you a permanent position at 100% with a start date according to agreement. We have individual schedules with the possibility for you to influence your work arrangements with us. With us, there is the opportunity to work full-time or part-time, rotational shifts with or without nights. We offer individual onboarding for about 5 weeks depending on previous experience.

Since Akademiska sjukhuset is a university hospital with a mission to provide healthcare and research, you will also have the opportunity to help develop care for our patients. If you are a newly graduated nurse, you will go through Akademiska sjukhuset's clinical development year. This means that you will have the opportunity to conduct clinical work in our department while deepening your knowledge and exchanging experiences with newly hired colleagues across the entire hospital's operational areas. The clinical training year is planned into your schedule and counts as part of your working hours. For you who are an experienced nurse, we have the opportunity to offer you competency-enhancing university courses in neurosurgery.

With us, you will receive benefits that make a difference, read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/jobba-hos-oss/bli-var-nya-kollega/formaner/).
