RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you want to be part of our positive and wonderful team at the Palliative Care Department? Then you should apply to us!

As a nurse with us, you will perform advanced healthcare in our care department. You will work in a team with doctors, nursing assistants, social workers, dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, chefs, therapy dogs, and medical secretaries.

We also have common reflection time after completing the day's shift.

- With us, you get to work patient-centered and focus on what is important for each person, says Johanna, nurse. She continues: We get to work quite freely around the patient and have the opportunity to offer "the little extra," which is important in the phase of life our patients are in. We work in a wonderful team with good collaboration and get to make a difference for our patients every day.

Palliative care takes great account of the entire life situation and considers both physical and psychological as well as social and existential needs. This also means providing support to relatives. The goal is to promote the highest possible quality of life and well-being. The ambition is that everyone cared for in the department should experience safety, receive a personal approach, and feel respected in a calm and harmonious environment. In this work, you and your colleagues play an important role.

We offer you a very interesting job where you can make a significant difference for our patients, as well as the opportunity to develop together with a multidisciplinary team.

QUALIFICATIONS

Regarding formal requirements, we welcome you who are a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare. Language skills in Swedish at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe’s scale are required. We prefer that you have several years of experience as a nurse, and if you have specialized training in oncology and/or palliative care, it is highly meritorious. If necessary, it may also be relevant to work in ASIH, and therefore a valid B driver's license is meritorious.

We are looking for someone who is confident in their professional role and has the patient in focus, which means that you have the ability to see the patient as an individual and their needs. We see that you are willing to share your knowledge and cheerful demeanor. Your commitment and positive attitude contribute to a good work environment, where we all help each other and collaborate to achieve the best care quality for our patients and support for their relatives. We highly value a positive attitude and a willingness to participate in our development work. Since a large part of the work involves support and conversations, it is important that you are communicative and have the ability to meet people on different levels. Furthermore, you have a flexible approach and can prioritize between different tasks when the work pace is high. To thrive with us, you enjoy working in a team and have good collaboration skills, but we also see that you can work independently and make your own decisions when required. We are keen to find the right person for the position and therefore place great emphasis on personal suitability.
