JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

With us, you will have a varied job in a positive environment with interdisciplinary teams around the patient and their relatives. As a care assistant in hematology, you see the whole patient and adapt your care to the patient's various needs during their hospital stay. This means that you can follow newly diagnosed leukemia patients from the start of chemotherapy treatment via stem cell transplantation until the patient is declared healthy and followed up through our outpatient unit. There are times when we know that the patient will not recover, where you have an important task to develop a palliative treatment plan to create a secure last period for the patient.

As a care assistant, you are responsible for the direct care of the patients, where nutrition, physical activity, and psychosocial support are some of the important areas to work with. Since we care for infection-sensitive patients, you also ensure that a high hygiene standard is maintained for the patients. In your work, you will also be involved in stem cell administration and assist doctors with bone marrow sampling, biopsies, and lumbar punctures.

QUALIFICATIONS

We welcome you who have an approved care assistant education. For the position, it is required that you have good language skills in Swedish, both spoken and written. If you have previous work experience from a similar operation, we see it as an advantage. Additionally, knowledge of our journal system Melior is meritorious for the position.

You who apply are a proud care assistant who loves your profession and always puts the patient first. Furthermore, you value being able to offer a good reception to everyone you meet in your daily life, both patients, their relatives, and your colleagues. Additionally, you have good collaboration skills, a positive attitude, and enjoy working at a varied pace. We value that you come with your own ideas to contribute to a positive development of the operation. You have a positive outlook and see things from their bright side. We care about our good atmosphere and place great importance on personal suitability.

In this recruitment, we are working with ongoing selection. Warm welcome with your application, we look forward to getting to know you!
