Job Advertisement: Nurse at the Children's Heart Center

Together we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe's leading university hospital by 2032. Together with patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in the Västra Götaland region. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We offer healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and effective care of the highest quality.

About Us

At the Children's Heart Center, we care for children from all over the country in connection with heart surgery, cardiac catheterization, heart transplantation, and other investigations and treatments for children with heart disease.

The Children's Heart Center at Queen Silvia's Children's Hospital is one of Sweden's two centers with the mission of National Highly Specialized Care (NHV) in pediatric heart surgery, and we also perform highly specialized pediatric cardiology.

We work with Patient-Centered Care, where clear teamwork between different professions gives us the conditions to create value for the patient. Pharmacists, nursing assistants, service hosts, and administrative staff relieve other healthcare personnel of tasks that are not patient-related, which gives you ample opportunity to provide professional care.

What We Offer

We believe in a good start and have a comprehensive introduction package. This includes an individually tailored introduction period of six weeks and continuous guidance from both mentors and experienced colleagues. We offer professional development in the form of training, lectures, and reflection opportunities.

The management of the department consists of a department head, two unit managers, and two section leaders, all with backgrounds in the organization. We offer you an exciting workplace with good camaraderie and a lot of job satisfaction!

Job Responsibilities

As a night nurse with us, you will be responsible for the care of children and adolescents who are treated in connection with investigations or treatment of congenital or acquired heart disease. You will work in a team with other nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, and other healthcare professionals, offering you a varied and stimulating job with a lot of job satisfaction.

About You

We are looking for a nurse who enjoys working with children of all ages and following the patient's entire care journey. You have demonstrated that you can quickly absorb new knowledge and adapt to new working methods. Interest, willingness, and the ability to help others, as well as a desire to contribute to the development of our operations, are important qualities. References from a supervisor that support this are required.

When we make hiring decisions, we certainly consider personal suitability, as the mission of National Highly Specialized Care requires competence to handle complex issues.

Selection and interviews will take place continuously during the application period.

Sahlgrenska University Hospital has a time quota linked to night shifts, which reduces weekly working hours for each night worked.

Welcome with your application!

In the event of recruiting a nurse with foreign qualifications/specialist certificate, the current position will be preceded by a process to meet the requirements for Swedish qualifications/specialist certificate.
