Area of Operations Academic Children's Hospital

Little hearts need great care! We are a small hospital in the big world, and it is precisely in the small things that our greatness lies. Here, all the expertise a sick child may need is present, along with good cooperation, respect, and care. We offer a really good introduction for newcomers and many interesting opportunities for development. There is also unexpectedly much joy in what can sometimes be very difficult. We take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know we do a much better job together!

In the children's emergency department, we take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know we do a much better job together. The need for acute pediatric care in Uppsala is growing, and therefore we need to expand our team. Are you a nurse interested in working with us?

Our Operations

In recent years, we at the children's emergency department have worked hard to develop our operations to be able to receive all our patient categories in the best possible way. We have a vision of further developing our working methods and therefore want to expand our strong team!

In the children's emergency department, we receive and treat children and adolescents with acute medical, orthopedic, and surgical diseases and injuries aged 0-18 years. Our operations are open around the clock, and the number of patients and the intensity of work varies from day to day. The children's emergency department is part of the section for acute pediatric care, which also includes the pediatric emergency care unit 95E and the department for specialized pediatrics. All units are in very close proximity to each other.

Your Mission

As a nurse with us in the children's emergency department, you will work in a team with other nurses, nursing assistants, and doctors. The work involves the usual tasks of a nurse in a pediatric emergency department and offers great variety in terms of difficulty, content, and pace. Our patients arrive both walking and by ambulance, and we often receive patients requiring immediate, acute care in emergency rooms. All patients are triaged and prioritized according to RETTS-P. The workday in the children's emergency department consists of many meetings with our patients and their families, and since the patients' conditions can change rapidly, the work is both varied and challenging, requiring the ability to assess and prioritize.

Your onboarding is structured and takes place in the children's emergency department in close collaboration with experienced colleagues and our education responsible nurse. Daily, there is also an assistant department manager present on the care floor to support you in your work. We care about maintaining a good atmosphere and always helping each other. We highly value safety and therefore continuously work on training in various forms. After each shift, a joint reflection is also held. If interested, there is an opportunity within the position to rotate between the children's emergency department and our acute care unit.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that gender balance and diversity bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all individuals the employer intends to employ or engage for patient-related work, as they may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and adolescents, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to everyone who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not primarily intended to include work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own efforts. We therefore kindly ask recruitment companies and advertisement sellers not to call.
