Your Responsibilities

The mission of home healthcare is to provide health and medical care at home to those in need. Our services must maintain a high quality and be designed based on each individual's unique needs, respecting integrity and self-determination. We also work health-promoting and preventively by focusing on early interventions and strengthening the individual's own ability. We collaborate with the health center and work to instruct and guide nursing staff in the care process around the patient.

Working as a nurse in home healthcare involves many varied tasks. You work in the patient's ordinary residence where you meet patients with varying care needs. You are responsible for making independent assessments as well as leading and performing medical interventions. You will, among other things, plan measures and conduct follow-ups, manage medications, infusions, and medical technical equipment, and assist in the doctor's authority enforcement. Both planned and urgent patient visits occur.

As a nurse in home healthcare, you plan and implement educational initiatives that enhance the medical competence and care quality of the staff. You actively drive educational initiatives and are responsible, in close collaboration with the operations manager, for developing a strategic development plan moving forward. In addition to your clinical expert support in daily care for nursing staff, you are responsible for delegations for both regular staff and substitutes.

Your Workplace

Home healthcare in Linköping is divided into eight offices. You work independently but are part of a knowledgeable and dedicated team of colleagues. Together, you are responsible for a specific geographical area. We are currently looking for someone to work in one of the following operations: Blandaren, Linghem, and Ljungsbro.

You belong to the management group in the operation you work within, together with the operations manager, coordinator, specialist nursing assistants, and physiotherapists and occupational therapists. A pharmacist also works within home healthcare. We work according to a vision of multiprofessional teams where you collaborate with colleagues in other professions to provide qualitative care based on a holistic view of the patient.

Your working hours are mainly scheduled Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Within home healthcare, you have a rolling 6-week schedule where you work one weekday evening and one weekend. Evening and weekend work occurs in our on-call service where you meet patients across all elderly care, LSS, and social psychiatry. This is a valued part of the job as you get the opportunity to meet new care needs throughout Linköping.
