JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We welcome a driven and committed nurse/pediatric nurse who wants to help develop emergency care for children with us.

In your role as a nurse/pediatric nurse at the Pediatric Emergency Department, your tasks will involve nursing and treatment of the acutely ill child. With us, you will encounter a varied and stimulating work environment that demands flexibility and collaboration.

We have an eight-week introduction period, but your introduction is individual and will of course be adapted according to your previous experiences. Progression occurs gradually to increased responsibility within triage, ambulance reception, emergency room, treatments, and nursing around the sick child and their relatives. The introduction also includes training in patient-related analyses, basic pediatrics, emergency exercises, medical technology, and our triage tool RETTS. As a newly hired nurse or pediatric nurse, you will always have the support of an experienced colleague. You will also receive a mentor who has extensive experience working in pediatric and emergency care during your introduction period and also thereafter, depending on your wishes and needs.

We offer a scheduling model with quota agreements, which means you work 38.25 hours a week and are employed in a combined day and night shift, where you work two weekends out of five weeks.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse and/or a nurse with specialized training in pediatric or emergency care with the authority to work within Swedish healthcare. Language skills in Swedish at least corresponding to level C1 according to the Council of Europe’s level scale are a requirement. We would prefer that you have experience working in pediatric care, but the most important thing is that you have an interest in pediatric care.

Your positive attitude contributes to a good work climate, and as a person, you are secure in your professional role and have an easy time adapting to the changing circumstances that working in an emergency department entails. You feel secure in your priorities and always have the patient in focus even when the pace is sometimes high. Since we work closely in teams, good collaboration skills, a high sense of service, and a genuine interest in children and their families are important. We value that you as a person are engaged and flexible, as well as very meticulous and stress-resistant in your work. Since we care about finding the right person for our workgroup, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Therefore, we see that you always strive for good collaboration and meet colleagues and families based on Region Skåne's values.

A background check will be conducted before any employment.
