Do you want to develop and play an important role for our patients this summer? Work with us at SÄS!

About our available position

We are now looking for nursing assistants, caregivers, and pediatric nurses to SÄS this summer.

At the hospital, care is provided around the clock, which means you may work days, evenings, nights, and weekends. The summer temporary positions are from week 23 to week 35, and to best plan and implement our summer staffing, we value that you can work eight consecutive weeks during this period.

As a nursing assistant, you will care for and treat different patient groups depending on the department. You will be close to the patient in your work, which requires understanding and interest in people. Daily tasks will include patient checks such as measuring blood pressure, checking temperature, and taking certain samples.

As a caregiver, your work will involve caring for and treating patients suffering from mental health issues by supporting and motivating them to manage their daily lives. You need to be able to handle various emotional expressions from the patient and feel comfortable listening, setting boundaries, and resolving conflicts. Depending on the area, you will work with patients who may have depression, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance abuse issues.

As a pediatric nurse, you will care for and treat children and adolescents up to 18 years old. We work from a holistic perspective with children and their relatives at the center, which requires empathy and understanding of different situations. Preparing children for examinations and treatments is part of the job, so that children and their relatives feel involved and secure.

In all specialties, you will work as a nursing assistant/caregiver/pediatric nurse in a team with other nursing assistants and professional groups.
