Together we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading university hospital by 2032.

Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About the Department

Department 10/23 is a neurosurgical department that provides highly specialized care for the Västra Götaland region and parts of Halland. We provide 21 care places, three NIMA (intermediate) places, and three NUVA places (postoperative recovery).

The department provides both elective and emergency care, treating patients with diseases of the brain and spinal cord such as tumors, bleeding, vascular malformations, epilepsy, and acute head injuries.

We are now looking for a nurse to expand our team!

What do we offer?

Our introduction program spans four weeks and is tailored to your experience and any needs that arise. You will have time set aside with one of our specialist nurses for delegations, as well as the opportunity to participate in an operation.

We regularly hold lectures mixed with skill-enhancing workshops on the department.

There are good opportunities for internal skill development and a varied job as you will have the chance to work on the care ward, in the admission unit, and also in neurosurgical intermediate care and postoperative monitoring, where you as a registered nurse will be introduced to when you feel ready to develop further. This variation is a valued part of the job.

We currently apply individual schedule planning and work two weekends out of five.

We view internal training positively and would like you to expand your knowledge with one of our neuro-focused credit courses offered in collaboration with the University of Gothenburg.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who wants to work in a wonderful team where you will be well taken care of as a new colleague. No day is the same, and you learn something new every day, regardless of previous experience. With us, you will work with a lot of medical technology equipment.

You will have the opportunity to work and learn a broad spectrum within healthcare as the department has a varied patient group in terms of age, medical history, and background. You will care for both adult patients and children, those who are acutely ill and those who are admitted for planned procedures or treatments. As a nurse, you will have the nursing responsibility for the patients both pre- and postoperatively and work in a team together with a nursing assistant.

About You

You are a licensed nurse. If you also have experience in pediatric care and/or postoperative monitoring, that is a plus.

The work requires personal maturity and clarity in communication with patients, relatives, and colleagues. You have the ability to convey calm and security, take responsibility, and have good prioritization skills. As a person, you enjoy collaborating and see the team as an important part of the work. Initiative and innovation are welcomed, and if you want to engage in improvement work, there is an opportunity for that. You are empathetic and have a good approach.

Great emphasis will be placed on your personal qualities.

Warm welcome to your application!
