Our Operations

In the infectious disease unit, adult patients with severe infections, infectious diseases, tropical medicine diseases, and immunodeficiency diseases are cared for. Infectious diseases have an interesting aspect as we can follow the development through human history and its global connections, where you meet patients of different ages and life stages. We are an acute care department where all patients come in via the emergency department or the infectious disease clinic. Infectious disease care often involves solving puzzles in teams from a person-centered perspective.

Infectious Disease Ward 65B

During the peak season for infectious respiratory diseases, we need to strengthen the hospital's capacity to care for patients with infectious diseases and have for many years opened a temporary ward during some winter months to handle the increased patient flow. Here, you are an important part of strengthening the hospital and providing safe and secure care. This year, we plan for 14 care places mainly for acute infectious patients during the period 2025-11-17 - 2026-04-05. The ward is staffed by nurses from staffing agencies, specially recruited nursing assistants, and experienced infectious disease specialists.

Your Mission

As a nursing assistant, you are responsible for the basic care of seven patients together with a nursing assistant colleague and a nurse. Our patients have varying care needs, which creates a varying work pace with sometimes rapid changes in patients' conditions, thus requiring you to be able to work independently and in an organized manner, with a good ability to constantly prioritize and reprioritize your work as a nursing assistant. The infectious disease department is in constant development, and we want you as an employee to actively participate in the development work of the operations so that severely ill patients can be cared for under good conditions in a department where the staff's work environment is a priority.

Your Qualifications

You are a trained nursing assistant, and previous experience in acute care is an advantage. You focus on the patient and are responsible and motivated in your work. If you are curious, proactive, and cooperative, then this job is perfect for you!
