Our Operations

At the pediatric anesthesia and pediatric surgery department, we receive children and adolescents aged 0 to 16 who need anesthesia and surgery. This can involve everything from premature infants to teenagers. Our operations include procedures in urology, orthopedics, hand surgery, general surgery, and neonatal surgery, where each operation can be crucial for the child's future.

It is important to us that both children and their relatives feel safe throughout the process – from the moment they arrive, during the operation, until they are ready to go home. Your role as a surgical nurse is to ensure that everything runs smoothly and safely for both the patients and their loved ones.

Your Mission

As a surgical nurse with us, you will work at the heart of the operating room and be part of the team that stands by the children's side during their surgeries – from major, complex procedures to smaller routine operations – always with the child's safety in focus.

The work is varied, and you will handle everything from gastro surgery and urology to hand and orthopedic surgery. We conduct emergency operations, so our surgical program is a living document that changes throughout the day. We also receive children from oncology, where you will follow the children several times during their treatment period.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with specialized training in surgical nursing. Previous experience in pediatric care is a plus but not a requirement. Most importantly is your willingness to work with children and adolescents and your ability to collaborate in a team. You are a person who takes initiative, sees the big picture, and wants to contribute to us all doing our utmost for the children we meet.

We Offer

We offer you a permanent position as a surgical nurse with a start date according to agreement. We work Monday to Friday with on-call duty every 6th to 8th weekend.

We are a small department with close proximity to everything and everyone. In our department, we believe in continuous development. Therefore, you will have the opportunity for professional development and access to national and international networks. Your introduction will be personally tailored to give you the best possible start. We care about your well-being both in your professional role and privately. Therefore, we also offer access to our wellness facility and flexible working hours.
