We are always on the lookout for new skills - employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better city to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Do you want to contribute to ensuring that our nursing students receive a high-quality clinical education? Do you enjoy being the spider in the web and are looking for a new and exciting challenge? Then perhaps the role of VFU Responsible Nurse/Specialist Nurse is for you!

Your New Job

Every year, we welcome and offer clinical education (VFU) and supervision for about 150 nursing students in Jönköping Municipality and approximately 400 nursing students throughout the county.

We accept both nursing students in basic education and nurses pursuing specialist training.

As the VFU Responsible Nurse, you will work closely with a colleague and have extensive contact with both the healthcare function's supervisors and the Health Sciences University. Your role includes being the professional responsible within the nursing area and the primary supervisor. Your task is to act as a link between the healthcare function and the health sciences university and to promote a good and developing collaboration. You will be responsible for planning and distributing students in Jönköping Municipality as well as other municipalities in Jönköping County. You will support the supervisor in their supervisory role and in assessing students. Therefore, you will participate in various collaboration groups and work to create interest in development. The position also includes some clinical work.

Your Qualifications

• You are a licensed nurse. If you have specialist training such as elderly care, palliative care, psychiatry, or district nurse training, this is considered an asset.
• You have experience from previous work in healthcare and social services.
• The job requires a valid driver's license (B).
• You have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, as well as good computer skills.
• You have good physical mobility since the work is conducted in home environments and you need to adapt your work methods based on the existing conditions.

It is desirable that you have supervisor training, comprising 15 higher education credits or equivalent training, but this is not a requirement. Previous experience in supervising students is an asset.

As a person, you take responsibility for your tasks and are skilled at planning and organizing your work effectively. You recognize the importance of providing students with an educational and developmental VFU and have the ability to see both the student's and the patient's needs from a holistic perspective. You have good collaboration skills and a flexible approach, and you can adapt to different situations and people you meet in a professional manner.

We Offer You

When you start in a role with us, we will agree on an introduction program tailored to your experiences and qualifications. You will also receive guidance from more experienced colleagues.
