Summer Substitute as Nursing Assistant at Kungälv Hospital

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.

About Ward 6 at Kungälv Hospital

We are part of the area of Geriatrics, Neurology, and Rehabilitation, and you can find us at Kungälv Hospital.

On the ward, we primarily care for stroke and hip patients, but also patients with other internal medical diagnoses.

During the summer, we will merge our two geriatric wards, stroke, and geriatric orthopedic acute care, so you will meet patients with several different types of diagnoses.

Working Method

As a nursing assistant with us, you will work with the acute phase of care in the stroke process and take care of the patients who are admitted to the ward. Our GOA patients (geriatric orthopedic ward) are being prepared for or have just undergone a hip operation and have a significant need for care on the ward.

As a summer substitute with us, we can offer you the opportunity to work around the clock with nursing assistant and nurse colleagues. You will also work together with doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and dietitians to best meet the patient's needs.

All patients are cared for in their own rooms equipped with the latest technology in the field. Here, we actively work to ensure that all employees from different professions are offered the best conditions to utilize each other's and the patients' resources and competencies. The ward is equipped with an advanced patient call system that contributes to a quiet care environment.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a nursing assistant, preferably with experience in stroke care, orthopedics, or elderly care.
