Our Operations

The preoperative department 101E belongs to the department of ear, nose, and throat diseases. We are located in building 101 and conduct our operations in new, fine premises. The department consists of a day surgery section and a preoperative section, which provides opportunities for a developing and varied everyday life.

The preoperative section is tasked with preparing patients for surgeries and examinations. Patients come from several different surgical departments, such as surgery, gynecology, ENT, and urology, which provides a wide variety of surgeries and treatments. The department's main patient flow consists of elective patients who will be operated on/treatment in the hospital's various operating departments, radiology, or outpatient clinics.

The day surgery section provides pre and postoperative care for patients within ear, nose, and throat surgery, plastic surgery, and jaw surgery. The patients you meet are both children and adults of all ages. There is a wide variety of procedures performed both under general anesthesia and local anesthesia. The department's primary goal is to deliver safe, well-prepared patients to the right operating department at the right time, as well as to provide good postoperative care. We have short hospital stays and work at a high pace at times.

Your Mission

We at the preoperative department 101E are now looking for two new colleagues who want to become an important part of our team. The department is an important part of the surgical chain, and you will collaborate closely with the surgical departments and operating rooms.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed nurse. If you have a few years of experience as a nurse, it is an advantage but not a requirement.

Your Competence

We are looking for someone who has a flexible approach, is responsible, and finds high patient flows and short hospital stays to be an exciting and enjoyable challenge. You find it important to take responsibility for ensuring that your tasks are performed in a way that enhances patient safety. You can also, in brief meetings, see each patient's needs and make them feel safe and cared for. You work independently and in a structured manner and find it easy to collaborate both within your own workgroup and with our partners. As a colleague, you are positive and contribute to a good working environment. We also want you to have the ability to think innovatively and a desire to collectively develop the operations with the group.

We Offer

Permanent employment. Daytime, Monday to Friday, starting early in the morning. The employment may be preceded by a probationary period. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

We offer you a pleasant workgroup consisting of nurses and nursing assistants. At 101E, we have a high ceiling and work together with the patients in focus.

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

Region Uppsala will place all permanent staff based on the needs of 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 involuntary 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 through Region Uppsala's efforts. We therefore request no phone calls from recruitment companies and advertisement sellers.
