Vacant job

Join the eye care team in Örebro County! Are you a nurse or ophthalmic nurse looking for a varied position where you can combine highly specialized care in a team with independent outpatient work? Do you also have an interest in medical technology? Then this could be the job for you!

We are now looking for a nurse/ophthalmic nurse for a shared position between the Eye Clinic in Karlskoga and the Eye Clinic at Örebro University Hospital (USÖ). The Eye Care Department is one of Sweden's five largest eye care operations with approximately 140 employees, distributed across the county's three hospitals. Here you will have the opportunity to combine advanced specialist care with breadth and independence, providing both variation and excellent opportunities for professional development.

Eye Clinic Karlskoga: The Eye Clinic in Karlskoga is run by nurses, MVA, and assistants. Rounds are conducted digitally together with doctors and nurses stationed at USÖ. The largest patient groups are glaucoma and diabetes patients. Here you work independently in a smaller outpatient setting where you take significant personal responsibility and utilize your full competence.

Eye Clinic USÖ: At the Eye Clinic USÖ, a clear counterbalance to the independent work in Karlskoga is offered. Here, highly specialized eye care is provided for patients with complex and often chronic eye diseases. The county's acute eye care is also located here. The operation is situated in modern facilities in the highly specialized H-building. As a nurse, you are an important part of the team-based work and actively participate in outpatient work, examinations, and treatments.

The Eye Care Department is one of Sweden's five largest eye care operations. Our university hospital consists of two units: a medical unit with a large outpatient operation and a surgical unit. The outpatient care has a team-based operation within general ophthalmology, glaucoma, medical retina, pediatric and strabismus, neuro-ophthalmology, and uveitis. The surgical unit has a large vitreoretinal surgical section and an anterior segment surgical section with a cornea center. In total, we are just over 130 employees in the operation.

We strive to be at the forefront with high medical quality in several areas, including medical retina. Here, advanced equipment is available, including navigated retinal lasers and wide-field imaging. There is a long tradition of participating in international clinical drug trials and excellent opportunities for research. The university hospital has a close collaboration with Örebro University, where, among other things, medical education is offered. The Eye Care Department has an active teaching and training program. There is research activity and good opportunities for employees interested in R&D.

Region Örebro County is one of the county's largest employers and an important growth engine in the region. We work for people's health, safety, and well-being and for the county's development. With us, there are exciting and important jobs in health care, dental care, public transport, culture, and business development. Together we create a better life.

The work at the eye clinic consists of various independent measurements and examinations. Vision checks, visual field tests, pressure measurements, and various photography of both children and adults are common tasks. You will also be able to be part of our injection service, where patients receive medication injections in the eye. Telephone advice is a natural part of the work. The tasks are adapted to your experience and educational background.
