Job Opening: Nurse at Orthopedic Center

Helping people achieve better health is one of the most important missions one can have. At Södra Älvsborg Hospital (SÄS), we are 3,700 employees with 120 different professions who contribute to this every day. What role do you want to play?

Regardless of your role, we can offer you a meaningful, secure, and developing job where you can make a difference for others.

About Our Job Opening

We are now looking for a nurse to join our orthopedic center.

With us, you will be part of an experienced and development-oriented team where structure, competence, and the willingness to try new things are central values. Initially, you will start working in inpatient care. Over the years, your responsibilities are expected to change as you take on new roles based on your level of competence. In inpatient care, we work in teams around the patient with the goal of providing the best orthopedic care, while also considering that patients often have multiple health conditions.

Professional knowledge is crucial for the quality of care. For this reason, you will have time allocated in your schedule each week for professional development.

About Us

The orthopedic center is part of the surgical, orthopedic, and ear-nose-throat department and consists of an orthopedic ward, orthopedic outpatient clinic, and osteoporosis clinic. At the orthopedic center, we have an integrated operation between inpatient and outpatient care, where you can become eligible for new generalized or specialized roles within both inpatient and outpatient care as your clinical competence grows.

Our Mission Includes

• Acute orthopedics
• Acute ortogeriatrics
• Elective orthopedics
• Orthopedic outpatient care
• Pediatric orthopedics in outpatient care
• Osteoporosis care
• Training ward where we have final examinations for about 50 nursing students each semester

Your Profile

We are looking for someone with a Swedish nursing license and at least four months of experience in the profession, preferably with experience in orthopedics. We place great emphasis on personal suitability, such as good collaboration skills, a positive attitude towards change, and the development of the workplace. We also value a pedagogical approach and the ability to work independently.

If you are in your final semester of the nursing program or have less than four months of professional experience, we encourage you to apply for our introductory programs. Read more about SÄS's introduction offer for newly graduated nurses here.
