JOB DESCRIPTION

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service provides certain open healthcare services, which means that all prisons and remand centers have healthcare clinics where inmates can seek care. In addition to nurses, the clinics also have general practitioners, physiotherapists, and psychologists. We are currently looking for four registered nurses who can work as substitutes as needed.

As a nurse, you will have your own clinic for assessing minor ailments, but you will also determine which applicants should see a doctor or another professional. This means you will work with both somatic and psychiatric healthcare for inmates, assist during medical consultations, and administer medications primarily through dose dispensing and dose division. Documentation is currently done in the PMO patient data journal.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is secure, stable, and self-aware. You find it easy to collaborate with others and have well-founded and clear values. In stressful situations, you remain calm, stable, and controlled. You have great integrity and the ability to make accurate assessments and priorities. You are quality-conscious and meticulous, and you have the ability to structure your approach and drive your processes forward.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a registered nurse.
• Has at least two years of professional experience.
• Has good knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing.

It is advantageous if you have:

• A relevant specialization or further education for the employer, such as in psychiatry, emergency care, or outpatient care.
• A valid driver's license (B).
• Other language skills besides Swedish and English.

To thrive and succeed in your role, it is important that you share the fundamental values of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service regarding a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and the belief that people can develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally through your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
