Our Operations

The Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases (ENT) diagnoses and treats diseases and conditions affecting the ears, nose, sinuses, oral cavity, upper airways, as well as hearing and balance. We are primarily a surgical department with both planned and emergency services. The surgery can be of a simpler nature but also more extensive tumor surgery in the head and neck area. We also have an emergency service in the form of a walk-in clinic within ENT that, on evenings, nights, and weekends, is located in the ward and staffed by personnel from the department. At the walk-in clinic, patients with, among other things, infections in the head and neck area, nosebleeds, dizziness, and severe airway obstructions are received.

The department has 13 patient beds with only single rooms, and patients are divided into care teams staffed by nursing assistants and registered nurses. We care for both children and adults, and the length of stay varies from less than a day to several weeks.

Your Mission

As a temporary employed nurse in 85F1, you will be asked if you want and can work. This will occur both in the long and short term. You decide how many shifts you book yourself for, but you need to work continuously to stay updated.

The care needs of our patients are very varied, but there is a strong focus on highly specialized nursing where you can contribute with knowledge and engagement that makes people feel safe. Basic nursing includes pre- and post-operative care, and highly specialized nursing includes, for example, airway issues, bleeding from the nose and throat, and tracheostomized patients. At a later stage, work at the walk-in clinic may also be included.

One of the department's specialties is diseases of the upper airways and particularly the care of tracheostomized patients. If you do not have experience with tracheostomy, you will receive training in it.

Introduction will take place with an experienced nurse.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a trained nurse, preferably with a few years of experience. If you have experience working with ear, nose, and throat, it is an advantage. As a person, you are stable, solution-oriented, secure, and empathetic. You are responsible, always have the patient in focus, and appreciate teamwork. As a temporary employee, you should be flexible.

Your Competence

We offer hourly paid employment starting by agreement. Temporary position until 31/12-2025, but with a chance of extension. We are looking for people who can work at all hours of the day, so please specify in your application what you wish to work, day/evening, only night, or rotation.
