Join us in ensuring a safe summer for many others and yourself – apply for a summer job as a nurse at the orthopedic clinic at Höglandssjukhuset in Eksjö. Do you want a great variety in your work, develop as a nurse, and be part of a well-functioning team? Then you are welcome to us!

The Role of the Nurse

A summer job with us at the orthopedic clinic at Höglandssjukhuset in Eksjö means that you help ensure both others' and your own summer. You provide security for the residents, but also for yourself in the future with the experience that a summer job with us gives you.

In your work as a nursing responsible for orthopedic patients during the summer, you will work with varying injuries, from minor injuries to major traumas. With us, you will have the opportunity to develop in the role of a nurse. You will be part of a team together with nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and doctors, where we value each other and each other's knowledge and have a good community.

The position is a temporary full-time employment with work during the day, evening, and weekends. We need summer substitutes during weeks 25-32. It is an advantage if you can work many of – or all – weeks. A region-wide introduction will take place in addition to these weeks, and we appreciate if you also have the opportunity to shadow during the spring. You will receive pay even during the introduction and shadowing.

Your Future Workplace

The care unit consists of two departments. In department A, patients with acute orthopedic injuries and diseases that need treatment are cared for, and this department is open even during the summer. In department B, patients undergoing planned surgeries are cared for, and this department is closed during the summer. We use a structured approach to develop our care processes based on new and evidence-based knowledge, and we work with continuous improvements in collaboration with our patients.

At the orthopedic clinic, we operate on the principle that everyone should be met with respect and a positive attitude, whether they are a patient or a colleague. Both patients and employees should feel well-informed, secure, and involved. We contribute to a good life in an attractive region.

Region Jönköpings län is building for the future of care and is making significant investments in Höglandssjukhuset. The entire orthopedic clinic is located in the newly built house 37 in new, fresh, and well-adapted premises for the operation that we are proud of.
