Skutskär Health Center

Our 1800 employees work with close care and health in Uppsala County. We offer a wide range of services within primary care. Our patients meet us at Region Uppsala's own health centers or within habilitation, and we provide advice by phone via 1177. Education, research, and development are important to us as we tailor our offerings based on the needs of the residents. We already offer mobile teams, video visits, and smart e-services.

Application

Welcome with your application via the link below. Interviews are conducted continuously, so do not wait to submit your application.

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

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

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all individuals the employer intends to hire or engage for patient-related work, as they may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to anyone who will work closely with patients, even if their tasks are not primarily intended to include work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts. We therefore decline phone calls from recruitment companies and ad sellers.
