JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you want to make a difference every day and work in an environment where your commitment and empathetic ability truly matter? Kålltorps Hospice is now seeking nurses and care assistants who want to work with us during the summer period.

Kålltorps Hospice is a palliative care unit and unique in its kind as the only municipal hospice in all of Sweden, operated by the City of Gothenburg. We provide good care at the end of life in a positive and safe environment, where all senses are stimulated through beautifully decorated rooms, good food, and a lush outdoor environment in the Garden of Senses. Our care is based on the hospice philosophy, which is a symptom-relieving holistic care for the seriously ill at the end of life and their relatives. We work based on the guiding principles of safety, integrity, well-being, and quality of life.

Kålltorps Hospice is a nurse-led operation where nurses and care assistants work together to meet the needs of the patients. We take measures to alleviate symptoms and contribute to a good quality of life for the patient while providing security for their relatives. Supportive conversations with both the patient and their relatives are an important part of creating security in the work. Many patients come directly from hospitals or palliative teams, and you need to feel secure in caring for seriously ill patients.

We place great importance on collaboration, and our interdisciplinary team includes nurses, care assistants, doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, and unit managers, and everyone’s competence is important and contributes to good and safe care.

• As a nurse, you have the medical responsibility; you assess various health conditions and take measures to alleviate symptoms. You have the overall responsibility to overview and prioritize the needs that arise. If necessary, you contact doctors from the palliative section at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. You actively participate in all aspects of nursing work and document according to current legislation.
• As a care assistant, you will work with personal care, encouragement, and support. You plan, implement, and follow up on care work together with your nursing colleague. Some tasks are performed after delegation from licensed personnel.

We offer an individually tailored introduction with experienced and competent colleagues.

QUALIFICATIONS

A very important part of the job involves the meeting with patients and relatives. You have a good approach where you show respect, consideration, and empathy. Furthermore, you have an open and positive attitude and have the patient’s needs as the starting point for your actions. You are secure in your role as a nurse/care assistant and take responsibility for both your own and the shared tasks with the organization’s and the patient’s best interests in focus. It is also a prerequisite that you enjoy working in a team and have very good collaboration skills.

Working at Kålltorps Hospice places high demands on you being secure and confident in your professional role. You need to have good knowledge in handling medical technical equipment and feel comfortable performing extensive nursing measures in your daily work.

You are a trained nurse or care assistant, and if you have previous experience in palliative or oncological care, it is highly meritorious. It is also an advantage if you have specialized training in palliative care as a nurse or specialized training in palliative care (YH education) as a care assistant.
