We are seeking a nurse with an interest in urological care

We are looking for a qualified nurse with an interest in urological care and urotherapy for our clinic.

We currently offer a temporary position until August 2026. You will have a varied, independent, and stimulating job with good opportunities for development in the field.

At the clinic, nurses, nursing assistants, and medical secretaries work together. The work at the clinic is done in teams around different diagnoses to provide patients with the best possible care.

You will run your own nursing clinic, which includes more advanced catheter changes, RIK training (Clean Intermittent Catheterization), various treatments in the bladder, and patients with erectile dysfunction. You will also have a LUTS clinic, where patients come to map and investigate their urination problems. You will provide telephone advice to patients and also give advice to healthcare professionals. A large part of the work at the urology clinic is to function as a contact nurse for patients with various urological cancer diagnoses; this is a developing and independent job. The contact nurses provide support for patients during the investigation and treatment of cancer diagnoses and later in the prostate cancer dispensary.

We also assist our patients with the fitting and prescription of incontinence products, which applies to both urinary and fecal leakage. As a nurse at the clinic, you should also be flexible towards the surgical side and assist doctors at various clinics. Work on the ward may also occur.
