We are looking for new colleagues to our wonderful team

Are you looking for a varied and patient-centered job at a small and family-like clinic with many different services under one roof? Then you might be the one we are looking for.

Job Responsibilities

At the vascular surgery department, we care for severely ill patients with vascular surgical conditions, both acute and elective, but they also have medical issues. Therefore, you will gain a broad knowledge of both surgery and medicine. Our patients are often multi-sick with kidney failure, heart failure, diabetes, etc. We are often a good springboard for a future career in emergency care such as ICU, anesthesia, or ambulance. We have a high level of monitoring and a lot of medical technical equipment. In vascular surgery, we operate on large blood vessels such as the aorta, carotid artery, and arteries in the legs. Patients are prepared with us before surgery and then return for postoperative care. Wound care is also a significant part of our work, which can involve necrotic, venous, and of course, surgical wounds. Some patients also need compression bandaging, and we also use vacuum therapy for hard-to-heal wounds.

On the ENT side, it is common to deal with nosebleeds, thyroid surgeries, and patients who have airway obstructions and need a tracheostomy. You will gain broad competence in this area as we regularly have these patients in the department.

Curious?

Please contact us if you would like to schedule an informal conversation, and we will tell you more. Or would you like to come and shadow us to get an insight into our work and see the facilities? Contact unit managers Sara or Marina, and we will arrange it.

About the workplace

At our vascular surgery department, which is an independent clinic, you are welcomed to a workplace with a familiar and open working climate. The clinic has 14 beds. These are allocated to vascular surgical patients, eye patients, and ENT patients. Our operations also include arterial and venous department-based outpatient services, department-bound surgical operations, clinical research, and aortic screening.

How does teamwork look?

At the vascular surgery department, we have close collaboration within the team. There is always a doctor available on the ward, and several doctors often participate in the rounds. We value our close collaboration, and we have a very family-like atmosphere where all different professions' opinions are heard. Our managers work very closely with us in care. We have rounds both in the morning and afternoon so that we get a good overview of our patients in the team and ensure a safe and quick care process. Since quick mobilization is a very important part after all vascular surgery, a physiotherapist is linked to the department and participates in teamwork daily.

What development opportunities are there?

In addition to our care department, we also have an arterial clinic, a venous clinic, and our own surgical operating room. We do not have staff who are only employed in the outpatient clinic/operation; instead, it is staff from the department who, after a period of work, are trained in the outpatient clinic or operating room. This provides significant competence development and an even better insight into the flow of patients within specialized care. At the arterial clinic, nurses work together with biomedical analysts and doctors. Here, we see everything from patients referred from primary care, acute visits, and follow-ups of treated patients or patients we are following for some reason.

At the venous clinic, nursing assistants and doctors work. This clinic primarily focuses on hard-to-heal leg ulcers and compression bandaging. In our own operating room located within the department, we perform day surgery for varicose veins. There, a nurse, a nursing assistant, and a doctor work one day a week and operate about 6 patients in a work shift.
