About the Department

The Urology department provides urological healthcare to the residents of Greater Gothenburg, including Mölndal, and has an overarching responsibility for the entire Västra Götaland region.

Within urology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, we work with conditions affecting the urinary tract in both women and men. This includes a wide range of diagnoses, such as urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, kidney stones, and various forms of urological cancer. Approximately 2,600 patients are cared for annually in inpatient care, and we receive about 20,000 patient visits at the Urology Clinic each year. Additionally, around 2,000 surgeries are performed each year. The tasks at the urology clinic are therefore very varied. Here, doctors, nurses, assistant nurses, and administrative staff work together. We are a great team that is eager to welcome new colleagues.

The position is a temporary contract.

• A varied job
• Good opportunities for professional development according to an individual development plan

The outpatient work is varied and enjoyable. You will meet patients with many urological diagnoses and collaborate in a multiprofessional manner, always with the patient in focus.

About You

We are looking for a trained assistant nurse who, with commitment, joy, and drive, wants to contribute to developing the work at the urology clinic. We seek someone who is flexible and cooperative.
