Our Operations

Welcome to a highly specialized operation that gives you the opportunity to develop in your role as a nurse and contribute to qualitative and safe care for our patients. We care for patients with diseases of the blood and bone marrow, including acute and chronic leukemia, and myeloma. Many of our patients are recurring and are cared for with us for an extended period. Here, you will work with medical technology, including central lines, chemotherapy, antibody treatments, and blood components. You will work in an environment with a high nurse density, experienced doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants.

Stem cell transplants and similar cell therapies are one of our specialties, and we are accredited according to the European quality assurance JACIE. The accreditation entails certain requirements, and therefore there are protocols and checklists for all the procedures we perform. It also requires us to have a thorough introduction with structured follow-up and recurring training efforts. This creates security for you as a nurse and contributes to safer care for patients. It also helps us systematically identify inadequate routines and continuously work on improvements.

On the ward, you will be part of a care team together with a nursing assistant and another nurse. We have three care teams, and each has its own doctor. You will also collaborate with other health professionals such as a social worker, physiotherapist, and dietitian. We also have pharmacists employed to support and relieve you as a nurse.

Your Mission

In your position as a nurse on Hematology Ward 101A, you play an important role in the highly specialized care we provide. Here, you will develop your clinical eye and your medical technical skills through contact with central lines, blood components, chemotherapy, and stem cells, etc. You will also have the opportunity to focus on the nursing perspective and work with the patient in focus.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed nurse. Experience or specialist training in oncology or hematology is an advantage but not a requirement.

Your Competence

You have a positive attitude and are interested in being part of a workgroup where you can discuss both serious and light topics. Our department offers varied and stimulating tasks for you as a nurse. With us, there are development opportunities whether you are new to the profession or have worked for several years. We place great emphasis on structure and develop routines to handle all possible situations. In Hematology, no day is like the other, and therefore it is important that you as a person want to learn new things every day. You should also find it easy to interact with other professionals and always have the patient's best interests in mind.

• Permanent full-time position.

Want to Work with Us?

Welcome with your application via the link below. We work with ongoing selection, and the application may be filled before the last application date.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that a balanced gender distribution and diversity bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be made regarding all persons whom the employer intends to employ or engage for patient-related work based on the fact that they may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and adolescents, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are covered by optional record extracts. This applies to all who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not currently intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely by Region Uppsala. We therefore decline phone calls from recruitment companies and ad sellers.
