About the job

As a Medical Secretary, you will have a varied and meaningful job content with a focus on care documentation. In this role, you will play an important part of the team that works together to ensure that all patients receive safe and quality care.

Your work will include managing medical documentation and related administrative tasks, such as referral handling in Sälma, case management via 1177, and appointment booking in Elvis.

We are looking for someone with a good attitude and sense of responsibility. You are used to organizing your work independently as well as working collaboratively with colleagues. You enjoy working flexibly and can easily adapt to the needs of the organization.

You are meticulous and have a good demeanor towards patients and colleagues.

A region-wide healthcare information system will be implemented, which will involve changes in working methods, and preparations for this are ongoing. Therefore, we appreciate your interest in new digital working methods.
