About the position and us

The Rehabilitation Medicine Department at Södra Älvsborg Hospital is responsible for caring for, medically treating, and rehabilitating patients with predominantly somatic and cognitive disabilities acquired through injury or illness.

As a nurse with us, you will be offered individually tailored mentorship in consultation with your manager, where we will adjust the duration based on your preferences and needs so that you can feel secure in your role. Here at the Rehabilitation Medicine Department, you will also have the opportunity to practice your role as an expert in nursing, as it involves equal parts medical technical procedures and nursing alongside nursing assistants, with patient-centered care permeating everything we do.

We have 10 beds for round-the-clock care. The patients are usually of working age who, after injury or illness, have disabilities such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures from traffic accidents, MS, strokes, and rheumatological diseases.

We work in teams with doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, speech therapists, and psychologists. The unit is a training care department and accepts nursing students in their 4th semester as well as students from the nursing program.

Working hours

Primarily day and evening shifts.

Your profile

We are looking for a registered nurse with at least four months of professional experience. Experience working in rehabilitation medicine is considered an advantage.

Since we work in interdisciplinary teams, it is important that you enjoy collaborating with different professional categories. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability, where the ability to work in a team, be responsible and meticulous, and have a good attitude are fundamental to us. In the team, you take your own initiatives and see opportunities for development. You have the ability to see the big picture, you are flexible, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

It is important for us to meet both patients and relatives based on their sometimes very difficult circumstances. This means you have an empathetic demeanor and are both attentive and engaged in the development work within the team, department, and clinic.

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

Warm welcome with your application. Please attach your license. We may have ongoing selection and interviews, so feel free to submit your application today.
