Healthcare Assistant to Neurosurgery Department and Neurointensive Care

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for research and innovation to yield results.

The Neurosurgery Department and Neurointensive Care Unit (NIVA) are part of the Neuro-Head-Neck Center (NHHC) at Norrland University Hospital. Within the various services, patients with diseases and injuries to the nervous system, brain, ears, nose, and throat are treated. As a new employee in the team, you will contribute to providing highly specialized care to patients from the entire northern region.

As a new employee in the neurosurgery department/NIVA, you will be welcomed into a workgroup with broad expertise and a good atmosphere that we all contribute to. We provide both acute and planned care, which gives you a varied job where the patient is always in focus. We have an onboarding program where you, as a new employee, are offered the internal training needed to be prepared to work with us. You will be given time for reading and the opportunity to join a mentorship program. As a member of our team, you have the chance to participate in our work schedule model, a business-adapted wish schedule, where the model focuses on high participation in scheduling based on the needs of the business. The model also provides higher compensation for inconvenient working hours than the general collective agreement. In round-the-clock operations, a salary supplement is provided.

We are now looking for five healthcare assistants to join our team!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a healthcare assistant with us, you contribute knowledge and commitment that makes people feel safe.

The work as a healthcare assistant in the neurosurgery department and NIVA is qualified and team-based, where no two days are alike.

Your work includes identifying risks, addressing, and evaluating patients' various care needs. You work closely with patients both independently and in teams with colleagues and other professionals. With us, you participate in the care of patients with brain tumors, brain hemorrhages, and other conditions with vital parameter failures due to major surgeries, accidents, or severe illnesses. We care for patients both before and after surgery.

Supervision of students and colleagues is included as we are a university hospital with educational responsibilities, which gives us a good opportunity to stay updated regarding routines and treatments of our patients.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is a trained healthcare assistant. Experience in acute and hospital care is an advantage. Since healthcare assistant is a protected title, you need to present a certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare, or alternatively a work certificate that allows you to be covered by the transitional provisions of the National Board of Health and Welfare and use the title until June 30, 2033.

As a person, you have the ability to prioritize, be meticulous, and take responsibility. You find it easy to collaborate but can also work independently. You actively contribute to a good work environment. The ability to handle many tasks simultaneously is important as the flow is high and the variety of tasks is many.

The Neurosurgery/NIVA provides care at two levels, the ward and care in NIVA. As a newcomer with us, you will start your first months working on the ward before transitioning to postoperative patients and patients cared for in NIVA.
