Our Operations

The Department of Orthopedics and Hand Surgery at Uppsala University Hospital primarily provides highly specialized care and is divided into seven sections: trauma, spine, prosthetics, shoulder/knee, foot, hand, and pediatrics. Within the department, we have two inpatient wards, two outpatient units, an operation planning unit, and a research and quality unit. You will work in the operation planning unit as part of a team of operation coordinators, where you will be jointly responsible for the operation planning within the department. We primarily plan semi-urgent and elective surgeries.

Your Mission

An operation coordinator is the face of the department. As an operation coordinator, you will be responsible for planning elective and urgent patients for day surgery and inpatient operations. The work requires close collaboration with doctors, the surgical manager, care departments, care placement coordinators, outpatient units, and the operating room. You will be responsible for maintaining contact with patients scheduled for surgery and providing them with necessary information. A prerequisite for succeeding in this role is that you have knowledge/experience of Cosmic and Orbit. You will meet patients in the outpatient unit and have phone contact with both patients and colleagues at the hospital.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed nurse, preferably with several years of experience in highly specialized surgical care. Experience in operation planning and/or orthopedics and hand surgery is an advantage.

Your Competence

You should be attentive, service-oriented, and able to collaborate easily with others while being confident in working independently. You are skilled at planning, prioritizing, and organizing as well as making and implementing decisions. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability, and we are looking for a colleague who is responsible, driven, flexible, innovative, and enjoys a varied pace and tasks.

We Offer

We offer a permanent position. Working hours are Monday to Friday, and the position is for a full-time commitment of 100%. A six-month probationary period may apply. Start date according to agreement.
