Neurosurgery Department

We are Uppsala University Hospital – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. In addition to our role as a regional hospital, we provide highly specialized care and serve two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening with us – a new life is born, a grandmother is operated on, a colleague is celebrated as a hero of life. We believe that honesty lasts the longest, and it is no secret that we need to grow our team. As a colleague, you will experience a lot. Tough challenges but also fantastic events, strong community, and support from colleagues and fellow humans.

Our Operations and Your Mission

We are looking for someone who wants to make a difference, work for development within your profession and the organization. The work is varied, as is the pace, and there is so much to learn. We perform surgeries around the clock, both emergency and elective. As a surgical nurse in our clinic, you will be part of a team where you primarily assist in skull and spine surgery, but also some peripheral nerve surgery and craniofacial surgery. During on-call hours, we also assist with minor ear-nose-throat surgeries and plastic surgeries.

We are one of seven neurosurgical clinics in Sweden, performing about 2000 surgeries per year, of which nearly half are emergencies. Our department provides care for patients both regionally and nationally, for people of all ages with various neurosurgical conditions. The department has six operating rooms equipped with high-tech medical technology. One of the rooms is our newly built intraoperative MR hybrid, where we collaborate with radiology and anesthesia to enable MRI examinations during surgery. We also now use a robotic arm for biopsies and electrode placements. A large part of the surgeries is performed microsurgically, allowing for significant opportunities to follow the procedure on large screens.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are either a licensed nurse with specialized training in surgical nursing or a student in the field. Previous experience in surgical nursing is considered an advantage but is not a requirement. We place great emphasis on personal qualities.

Your Competence

We offer you a varied and stimulating job where your role is significant in collaboration with colleagues in the surgical team. You are an engaged and positive colleague who contributes to a good working environment. You are also responsible and motivated in your work.

We Offer

With us, you will be offered a permanent full-time position. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, weekends, and nights in a business-adapted desired schedule. Compared to many other round-the-clock operations, there is relatively little weekend work. Working hours can be discussed based on needs and preferences. There is an opportunity to reduce weekly working hours based on the schedule model we use.

The onboarding process is tailored to your needs. A probationary period may apply. Start date is according to agreement.

With us, you will receive benefits that make a difference; read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/jobba-hos-oss/bli-var-nya-kollega/formaner/).
