VI – Where screws, braces, and gypsum are everyday!

The orthopedic clinic is located in two places in the region; Karlshamn and Karlskrona.

In Karlskrona, we take care of acute orthopedic injuries in Trauma Department 37. Patients come here around the clock all year round. We care for everything from trauma alarms with multiple injuries to elderly patients who have fallen. The age range is broad, from 18 years and up. Many of the patients who come need surgery, so the focus is heavily on pre- and post-operative care.

We are a clinic in development. Our wish is to have enough care places to ensure good and safe care. To achieve this, a good working environment is needed with a reasonable number of patients per nurse/care assistant, a good atmosphere, and that we have fun!

The department is characterized by a good working environment in a positive spirit with a focus on the patient's best interests. On ward 37, we care for each other and are attentive to team spirit. The department continuously works with change and development where you have the opportunity to participate. We are a department that actively works with students from nursing programs, care assistant programs, as well as internships from high schools and middle schools.

About the job

As a care assistant, you actively participate in all care around the patient - both general and specific. On the ward, we work closely together in teams. The teams on the ward consist of ward doctors, nurses, care assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and secretaries. There is a coordinator function during the day, Monday - Friday, who helps coordinate around patients in the ward as well as outside the ward. We work according to the concept of patient-centered care and work in care teams. This means that you, together with the nurse, are responsible for the patients in your care team.

On ward 37, rotation shifts are applied.

About you

We are looking for you who are a trained care assistant. Experience in a care ward and orthopedic knowledge is an advantage. To thrive with us, it is important that you have an empathetic approach and appreciate collaboration. You have the ability to prioritize between tasks and can remain calm in situations that require it.

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. Region Blekinge places all permanent staff in a crisis position. Ongoing selection may be applied. Candidates who are relevant for employment must present an extract from the Police Authority's criminal record before employment, form 442.9.
