Assistant Nurse to the Health Centers in Southern Lapland

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.

The region's primary care provides broad primary care services throughout Region Västerbotten and meets patients of all ages, both in urban and rural areas. With 33 health centers and health clinics, we are where you are. We offer research and development and utilize medical results to provide high-quality care where the patient is involved. We want our employees to be engaged, have influence, and feel pride in working in the region's primary care. Here you have the opportunity for a job where you can combine an interesting and developing work life with a rich offering of outdoor activities, both summer and winter.

The health clinics are part of the Southern Lapland local healthcare area, which is a model area in the transition to close care. With effective collaboration and a focus on the citizen, we drive important change initiatives within the region and together with the municipality. Clinical assessment at a distance and digital healthcare meetings are developing rapidly and are an important part of ensuring good, close, and accessible care in this area. Therefore, it is no coincidence that we are at the forefront in this area. The health clinic model, which is an important starting point for close care, shapes both the approach and working methods in the daily operations of the organization.

Vilhelmina, Åsele, and Dorotea health clinics are part of the same base unit and are located in southern Lapland, fifty kilometers apart. The nearest hospital is in Lycksele, where the county's ambulance helicopter is stationed.

Our health clinics function as well-equipped mini-hospitals with access to emergency care beds, X-ray, ambulance services, and laboratory. Our telemedicine usage is well developed. Here you will find occupational therapists, midwives, physiotherapists, social workers, doctors, psychologists, secretaries, nurses, and nursing assistants. We provide emergency medical care as well as regular work at the health center and have a well-developed collaboration between all our professional groups and with the municipalities.
