Do you want to develop and be part of our wonderful team?

Welcome to us at the Neuro and Stroke Unit in Östersund! Here you will meet patients with stroke, TIA, acute and planned neurology, brain tumors, and general medical conditions. With us, you will encounter many different diagnoses and thus gain broad knowledge. The Neuro and Stroke Unit currently has 18 care places. The unit handles the region's Save the Brain alarms, an emergency care chain staffed with nurses around the clock. The unit is constantly evolving, and in recent years there have been many advances in research and development, creating opportunities for improvements for patients, as well as opportunities for you as an employee to participate in new exciting projects.

As a newly hired nurse in the unit, you will receive the support you need to feel secure in your new workplace, so you can provide patients with good and safe care and increase your knowledge in the specific field of neurology and stroke. We work in close dialogue with you as an individual regarding what you need to feel secure, to meet your development, and to give you the conditions to provide good and safe care. The unit has a present leadership, present doctors, experienced management nurses, and unit coordinators who all have good knowledge of the unit and can guide new colleagues in the best way. The unit has a high score in recurring employee surveys regarding work environment, participation, and supportive conditions.

In the unit, you will work with a digital patient overview via a personal tablet that you carry with you throughout your shift. On the tablet, you have a very good overview of your patients, their information and conditions, medication lists, and what tasks you and your colleagues need to perform. You will also have access to your email and the unit's team, you can save your own notes and set up your own favorites as support in your daily work.

During weekdays, we have a dedicated management nurse focused on supporting new staff, and we also have a unit coordinator who answers all incoming calls, has a coordinating role regarding care place structure, discharges, examinations, and ordering transports, which provides you as a nurse with good relief. The unit also has patient-related services that assist with patient transports, inventory, and food management.

We work with a wish schedule, in periods of varying 8, 10, and 16 weeks, and place great value on considering your and your colleagues' individual wishes as much as possible. With us, you will work 2 out of 5 weekends. Those who choose to work with us become part of a wonderful group that learns from and encourages each other. As an employer, we can offer our own training facilities with a gym and various group activities. You will also become a member of our staff association, which offers discounts and a variety of fun activities. The unit can also offer professional development within our specific diagnoses, and we also have recurring internal training that is very popular.
