Nurses, ambulance care providers, and alarm operators – welcome to register your spontaneous application to work in ambulance care

Work with us

The ambulance is an important player in modern emergency care where advanced care is provided outside the hospital. It is a varied job where we often focus on one patient at a time. We work in two shifts which provides more recovery time and there is an opportunity for training during working hours.

In the region, there are 4 ambulance stations. They are located in Enköping, Tierp, Uppsala, and Östhammar. Within the Ambulance Care section at Akademiska sjukhuset, both ambulance and alarm center are included. The healthcare alarm center constitutes an important function in the first contact with patients in need of an ambulance. The alarm operator is the first link in the care chain before the ambulance or air ambulance arrives.

Our Employment Requirements

Working as ambulance personnel is developing, exciting, and sometimes challenging. We require medical knowledge, physical endurance, and the ability to solve problems. Our employment requirements are set both to ensure the ability to perform the job itself and to prevent work-related injuries.

As a nurse at the alarm center, you will receive calls from those seeking help. Each call results in an assessment, prioritization, and action. Your task is to help the patient to the right level of care with the help and support of a unique medical decision support system. As a nurse/alarm operator, you will handle and assist those calling 112. You will quickly get an overview of what has happened and then act based on the current circumstances.
