About the position

We are primarily a cancer surgical department with patients with breast sarcomas and endocrine tumors, but for just over a year, we have had a patient category in endocrinology that makes our department even more exciting and provides more knowledge and skills development.

As a nurse, you lead the care around the patient. You should be able to identify care needs and initiate appropriate actions. The work is stimulating and has great breadth, where you will meet patients in various life situations, from acute situations to patients who have progressed further in their illness. Advanced treatments such as pain relief via epidural are included in the work on the ward. Infection treatments, management of central lines, management of pain pumps, and various types of drainage are examples of tasks that occur in daily work.

As support for all employees, both new and senior, we have a clinical nursing leader (KLINO) who is an experienced nurse and works to strengthen care and be a support for employees in their work.

Breast, endocrine tumors, and sarcomas are part of the Cancer Theme. We investigate, operate, and treat breast cancer, benign tumors, and thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine tumors in the abdomen (NET), and soft tissue tumors. A large part of the daily work involves pre- and post-operative care within highly specialized cancer surgery as well as care for patients with congenital endocrinological diseases. We are proud to be the sole providers in Stockholm County Council when it comes to endocrine surgery and soft tissue sarcomas.

The position is a permanent full-time employment. With us, you work two shifts according to the 24/7 agreement, and the schedule is made according to a desired schedule with four periods spread throughout the year. If you are interested, there is an opportunity to work three shifts.

We are looking for someone who

• can contribute knowledge and experience to our daily work
• is curious and wants to learn new things and increase your expertise in several patient categories
• is empathetic and has good collaboration skills. You can also organize and prioritize your tasks in a workplace with a changing pace
• meets all our patients and relatives with understanding and respect. Patient safety and workplace safety are two cornerstones in our approach to caring for our patients and each other.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability for the position.
