Do you want to work as a nurse in Geriatrics?

If you want to take responsibility for about 8 patients together with nursing assistants and have close contact with several colleagues, we invite you to apply to us.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for you, our new nursing colleague who wants to work in acute care and care for geriatric patients! Working with this patient group allows you as a nurse to develop since the patient's medical condition is often complex, which needs to be addressed together with the patient's life history. You will become part of a multidisciplinary team that works together to provide our patients with the best possible care and quality of life.

Our patients come to us primarily via the emergency department or are transferred from the hospital's medically acute care ward. As a nurse with us, you will be responsible for and lead the nursing work, which often consists of specific nursing interventions. These interventions can be either curative or palliative. The medical aspect is also a large part of the work and consists, in addition to medication administration and various medical technical procedures, of being able to interpret the patient's various symptoms and parameters. We who work here are motivated by being able to work independently, but we also appreciate having competent and engaged colleagues for support within the team.

This is how our employees describe our workplace:

• good team spirit and collaboration, support
• you can be new at work
• knowledge on the ward and engagement
• care
• laughter and community
• well-being

About the Workplace

The department consists of two teams, and our nurses are responsible for 8 patients during the day and evening shifts, every day of the week. The multidisciplinary team consists of nurses, doctors, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and social workers. Our workplace is characterized by our commitment to the elderly patient and patient safety. We have a good working environment where we help and support each other. At the end of each shift, we evaluate both patient safety and the working environment using the tool Teamtempen. These evaluations form the basis for us to continue to maintain and develop both patient safety and our working environment.

For us, it is important that you feel good and enjoy your job; therefore, we offer you:

• tailored introductory program to help you feel secure and confident in your professional role
• opportunities for professional development through, for example, internal training
• a workplace for different stages of life, with the possibility of flexible working hours within certain frameworks
• free training at our fully equipped gym
• wellness allowance of 3000 SEK/year

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse, preferably with experience in the profession. If you have previous experience working in similar operations, it is an advantage. Since you need to communicate verbally and in writing with patients, relatives, and colleagues, good knowledge of the Swedish language is required. Other language skills are an advantage.

As a person, you are secure, stable, and have good self-awareness. Since the work can change rapidly in various ways, you need to be flexible and have the ability to maintain your calm and focus in new situations. You have a good ability to structure your work independently and take responsibility for your tasks. We work in teams and see collaboration and clarity as very important ingredients for success. Since we work closely with both patients and relatives, empathy is an important ingredient in your daily life. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
