Vacant job

Together we develop Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future

We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe's leading university hospital by 2032. Together with patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in Västra Götaland. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life in the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

Description

Clinical nutrition consists of 40 dietitians who work hospital-wide with nutritional treatment for patients individually and in groups, both in inpatient and outpatient care.

Your clinical placement will be within surgery, primarily in obesity surgery and infection – both at Östra and Sahlgrenska sites. In addition to direct patient work, we also work on the development of care routines within nutrition. It is important for us that nutritional treatment is based on scientific evidence and proven experience. Since we are a university hospital, it is also part of the job to supervise students and to lecture in your clinical area.

Responsibilities

We are now looking for a dietitian whose main responsibilities will include planning and executing individual nutritional treatment. Collaboration regarding nutrition occurs together with other staff on departments, in various teams, and rounds. You will also be part of a team where you, together with other dietitians, support each other's activities in case of absence.

In our dietitian operations, we focus on the patient and provide a high level of service. You achieve a high level of service with us when you are calm, attentive, and accommodating both in meetings with patients, colleagues, and staff, as well as when you strive to deliver constructive solutions. We wish for you to be able to make patient-safe assessments and priorities in your work as you will need to weigh complex information and considerations. Your judgment will be valuable in communication, actions, and decision-making.

As we constantly learn by staying updated on the latest evidence-based research, you should be development-oriented and enhance your specialist knowledge as it is a resource for patients and colleagues. We appreciate innovative thinking that you can implement in practice, leading to continuous improvements.

You can expect a varied job with challenging tasks. The introduction will be tailored to your needs, and an individual competence plan will be made annually with your immediate manager.

Qualifications

You should have completed and passed the dietitian program or equivalent education. We value if you also have a master's degree. Since we constantly need to stay updated, you need to have good knowledge of both English and Swedish. Computer skills and experience with IT-based healthcare programs are advantageous.

If you have experience in nutritional treatment within surgery, primarily in obesity surgery and infection, we see it as an advantage. The same applies to experience in inpatient care and enteral/parenteral nutrition. However, even if you are new to the dietitian role, you are welcome to apply. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability, good collaboration and organizational skills, and interest in development work.

As a dietitian in Clinical Nutrition, it is important that you take responsibility for your tasks, work in a structured and independent manner, and be able to drive processes forward in a team.

In this recruitment, we are working with ongoing selection. We warmly welcome your application!
