We Offer

Summer position starting in May until August with the possibility of extension.

Your Role

As a nurse, you will be an important part of the team together with managers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and nursing staff. You will be responsible for qualified interventions for the users within the unit's various focuses.

The work involves ensuring that our residents receive the care and support they need, in a team. This includes close collaboration with nursing staff, rehabilitation personnel, the medical organization, and other healthcare providers, such as in inpatient care and primary care.

You will also have a preventive focus, for example, through risk assessments and health plans, registration in national quality registers, follow-up of delegations, and handling deviations. Additionally, supervising nursing staff will be part of your responsibilities.

In the evenings and weekends, you will take a supervisory role for the entire operation, which requires flexibility, the ability to prioritize, and confidence in handling acute situations. You should feel secure in caring for individuals at the end of life.

We work according to the four cornerstones of the palliative care philosophy:

• Teamwork
• Relationship and communication
• Symptom control
• Support for relatives

You are expected to have good knowledge of relevant legislation and regulations and collaborate with medical organizations, for example, by participating in rounds, preparing medication reviews, and performing medical technical tasks as needed.

Your Competence and Experience

To be considered for the position, you need to:

• be a licensed nurse
• have a good command of the Swedish language, both spoken and written

Desirable experiences include:

• work in elderly care, dementia care, and/or social psychiatry
• knowledge of documentation in healthcare
• familiarity with psychiatry and Huntington's disease

We value qualities such as teamwork, pedagogical skills, flexibility, and a positive attitude. Being solution-focused and contributing to the development of the operation is also important. In recruitment, we place great emphasis on your personal qualities, and interview questions will be based on the following abilities:

• You can take a supervisory role and feel confident in leading nursing staff in nursing work.
• You should be able to work independently and have the ability to prioritize, organize, and plan your tasks.
• You should enjoy working in a team and find it easy to collaborate with different professional categories and with relatives.
• You are secure and stable and have a holistic perspective when it comes to the operation.
• You work towards goals, focus on results, and consider the best interests of the entire operation when you act and make decisions.
• You contribute new ideas and thoughts that can be implemented in the operation.
• You also contribute to good collaboration by having an open, accommodating, and problem-solving approach.
