Development-oriented Night Nurse Wanted

The hospitals in the west are an administration within the Västra Götaland region and consist of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. About 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

We are now looking for a development-oriented night nurse for our growing department with the start of AVA beds. Our mission has grown, and we need more nurses who want to help build a workplace where both job satisfaction and quality are at the center.

We are looking for someone who wants to contribute with their skills, engagement, and who appreciates good collaboration in an organization that truly makes a difference. There is an opportunity to develop within both medicine and surgery/orthopedics.

This will be your new workplace

Ward 4 is in an exciting development phase, currently having 16 care places focused on internal medicine, but is planned to grow to 24 care places based on the need to care for patients with short hospital stays – AVA (acute care unit). This means a fast pace, many admissions and discharges, and a broad patient group. Work on the ward is therefore knowledge-intensive, developing, and exciting. We work in teams consisting of doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants, and everyone is involved in person-centered care – together we create value for our patients.

When you start working in Ward 4, you will be offered to work in new, fresh, and adapted facilities. The patients cared for here have single rooms with their own toilet and shower. Each team is stationed at its own team station with an associated round room. We also work with the investigation of patients in a daytime module for those who do not need to stay overnight in the care ward.

About you

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with person-centered care, is motivated by improvement work, and wants to create and develop our ward and our working methods. You should be good at collaborating with others and want to be part of our wonderful team where we together drive the operation forward.

Qualifications

You should be a licensed nurse, and it is highly meritorious if you have previous experience from a medical ward.

For us, it is important that you are driven by wanting to help develop the care/unit with the patient at the center, as well as actively sharing your knowledge with colleagues and equally curiously engaging with colleagues' expertise.

We offer you

Our introduction program lasts for 4-5 weeks with regular check-ins with the unit manager. Your introduction is tailored to your experience and any needs that arise. We have regular shorter lectures in the Medicine department.

About the position

Night shifts of 34.25 hours/week provide a full-time salary and double OB compensation between 10 PM and 6 AM.

Other

It is important that you apply as soon as possible as selection and interviews are ongoing.

Welcome to a cheerful and development-oriented team!
