Field of Activity: Neuro

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. In addition to our role as a regional hospital, we provide highly specialized care to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother is operated on, a colleague is celebrated as a hero of life. We believe that honesty lasts the longest, and it is no secret that we need to grow our team. As a colleague with us, you will experience much. Hard challenges but also fantastic events, strong community, and support from colleagues and fellow humans.

Welcome to apply and become a part of us.

Our Operations

We have a large catchment area as we are one of six highly specialized neurosurgical clinics in Sweden, receiving both planned and emergency patients around the clock. The patients we care for have brain hemorrhages, tumors in the brain and spine, spinal injuries, vascular malformations, and hydrocephalus.

Your Mission

With us, you will be responsible, together with other nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, for the pre- and post-operative care of patients in modern facilities. Here you can expect a varied job with challenging tasks. You will become part of a wonderful team with mixed ages, genders, and experiences. We support each other and help out. You are never alone!

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a trained nursing assistant with at least three years of experience in inpatient care. Experience in surgical care is an advantage; however, you are expected to have knowledge and documented experience in catheter placement, blood sampling, and the ability to perform manual checks.

Your Competence

You enjoy working with patients and their relatives. You focus on the patient and are responsible and motivated in your work. With us, there is a high flow of patients, which requires you to be flexible and have the ability to prioritize your work.

We Offer

We can offer you a probationary employment for 6 months with the possibility of a permanent position on full-/part-time. The introduction will be tailored to your previous experiences. As we apply individual scheduling, you have great opportunities to control your workweek. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, nights, and weekends. Start date by agreement. The position may be filled before the application deadline, so do not wait to submit your application.

For your development, we also have regularly scheduled training days where we deepen our knowledge in relevant subjects as a group. We have an internal advanced course in neurosurgery for nursing assistants and nurses over six full days. This course is offered each semester, and all staff are invited to attend. As a nursing assistant, you also have the opportunity to attend Grund-us, which is a systematic professional introduction for somatic inpatient care at Akademiska sjukhuset, including practical skills training and lectures.

With us, you will receive benefits that make a difference; read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/jobba-hos-oss/bli-var-nya-kollega/formaner/).

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the organization. Therefore, we welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala will place all permanently employed staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime, but it is solely a planning measure.

Background checks against suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all individuals that the employer intends to hire or engage for patient-related work, based on the possibility of working within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to everyone who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not primarily intended to involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.
