Assistant Nurse for Intermediate Care at Skaraborg Hospital

Skaraborg Hospital (SkaS) operates in several locations in Skaraborg, including Falköping, Lidköping, Mariestad, and Skövde. We provide specialist healthcare in about thirty specialties and work together for the health of our patients throughout their lives, offering cohesive and secure care. Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect the lives of others. We care about those who make a difference for others, and together we create the workplace of the future.

Area of operation 3 is represented by Anesthesia/Surgery, ICU/Post-op, IMA, and Sterile Technical Unit, with hospital units in Lidköping, Skövde, and Falköping.

Description

In spring 2025, IMA opened in the newly built AS building at SkaS in Skövde. The unit is entirely new, making this a unique opportunity to help shape the work from the ground up. Working in a new unit brings both opportunities and development, and you will be an important part of building routines, working methods, and a strong team spirit. This is an exciting phase where your skills and commitment truly make a difference.

Intermediate care is a care place with enhanced capabilities compared to a regular care place, while not offering the most advanced care, which is provided by intensive care (ICU). By offering care to patients in a middle ground between regular ward care and intensive care, IMA can relieve both the intensive care unit and regular wards.

IMA is a specialist department with 4-6 places for seriously ill patients requiring increased monitoring, advanced treatment, and nursing. The department is equipped with advanced medical technology for care in various conditions. We primarily care for adults and receive patients from all clinics in the hospital.

Responsibilities

As a new employee at IMA, you will receive a thorough introduction to feel secure in your new workplace. Before starting, there will be an opportunity for extended training in intensive care to provide good conditions for employees to care for seriously ill patients.

As an assistant nurse, you will work at the top of your competence and be offered an interesting job where you develop in your assistant nurse role and gradually take on more responsibility for the advanced care of an intermediate care patient.

You will be responsible for the patient's general nursing care and participate in the medical work under the guidance of a doctor or nurse in the care team. IMA operates 24/7, which means shifts during the day, evening, and night.

Qualifications

You who are applying have relevant assistant nurse education, preferably with a focus on emergency care or specialist assistant nurse education in surgery, anesthesia, and intensive care. You have worked as an assistant nurse for at least 3 years. We prefer that you have worked in a care ward within healthcare.

Your personal qualities are significant, and we are looking for someone who is positive and engaged. You should have good teamwork skills as we work in teams around the patient, as well as a good ability to handle stressful situations. We will place great importance on previous experiences and personal suitability.

Do you want an exciting job as an assistant nurse in intermediate care and the opportunity to help start a new unit? Come to us!
