Vacant job

We welcome you to a structured workplace where we constantly work on improvements based on the needs of the patient. We have the patient's best interests in focus.

The orthopedic and hand surgery department conducts university hospital care and clinical research at the region's three hospitals: Örebro University Hospital, Karlskoga Hospital, and Lindesberg Hospital. The department provides care across the entire orthopedic field, including highly specialized care. A comprehensive restructuring is underway in the area to improve accessibility, quality, and cost-effectiveness. The establishment of a clinical research unit is an important part of the development work.

Karlskoga Hospital is one of Region Örebro County's three acute hospitals. We who work at Karlskoga Hospital are proud of our hospital. We base our work on collaboration, development, and professionalism, which is reflected in the fact that we were the first hospital in Sweden to receive the Swedish Quality Award. The hospital is medium-sized with approximately 900 employees.

Region Örebro County is one of the largest employers in the region and an important growth engine. We work for people's health, safety, and well-being, and for the development of the county. With us, there are exciting and important jobs in areas such as healthcare, dental care, public transport, culture, and business development. Together, we create a better life.

Assistant Nurse to Orthopedic Ward 6, Karlskoga Hospital

Here you will meet patients who have suffered an acute fracture, for example, after a fall or minor trauma. The ward has a significant acute mission and receives patients from the entire region who have sustained a fracture. We have developed a high level of nursing competence for patients with hip fractures. A "straight path" has been established in collaboration with ambulance services, emergency departments, and radiology. The aim is for the patient to quickly reach the care ward for treatment. We also have planned admissions and surgeries for patients undergoing shoulder surgery and spinal surgery for herniated discs. Nursing work is carried out in our three nursing groups, consisting of nurses, assistant nurses, and rehabilitation professionals from physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The nursing work focuses on preoperative and postoperative care, where pain relief and mobilization are key components. The assistant nurse works both with basic care and qualified care such as wound dressing, sampling, and urinary catheterization.

On weekdays, we have discharge coordinators and catering staff, providing care-related services in our operations.
