Child Health Care

Gotland's child health care is characterized by the advantages of a small organization with close collaboration.

Here, you work with dedicated child health care nurses in a team spirit together with doctors, psychologists, and social workers.

One of our child health nurses will be on leave during 2026, so we are now looking for a new employee for a full-time temporary position in our operations in Visby. If necessary, work can also be assigned to BVC Hemse or Slite. The temporary position is primarily until 2026-12-31 but may be extended.

Currently, eleven child health care nurses work in Gotland, distributed in Visby, Slite, and Hemse. The profession works to support parents in active and shared parenting, discover and prevent physical and mental health issues in young children and their parents, and to identify and prevent risks for young children in their local environment and in society.

If you are a licensed nurse with further education as a pediatric nurse or district nurse and want to work in a cutting-edge primary care setting, you have come to the right place!

Your Responsibilities

The tasks at BVC consist of running your own clinic with standard child health care checks according to the Child Health Care assignment 2020 and the National Handbook for Child Health Care. You are responsible for calling families to the medical appointments you have together with doctors from the child and youth clinic, making home visits to newborns and eight-month-old children. You will also lead parenting support in groups. As a nurse at BVC, you also have contact with many other services such as the midwifery clinic, maternity ward, social services, preschools, and child habilitation.

In your role, you will be responsible for approximately 50 newborns per year if you work full-time. We work with support measures such as Child Safety, conversations with Non-Birthing Parents (IFF), EPDS, Infant Toddler Checklist (ITC), and Lifestyle Questions.

To ensure that you as child health nurses feel secure and develop your competencies in your work role, regular training days are organized for all employees at BVC Gotland, and we hold workplace meetings, professional hours, and weekly meetings, both physically and digitally.
