You are stable, controlled, and can collaborate well with others. It is important to us that you have a positive attitude towards both tasks and colleagues. Together, we create high patient safety and good accessibility, with the patient in focus. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We will start your onboarding already in the spring and also invite you to our joint introduction day and some training sessions.
