Nurse for Geriatric Acute Care Unit GAVA at Södertälje Hospital

Do you want to work in a field focused on nursing with close collaboration where flexibility and openness are valued? We are a large operational area that gives you the opportunity to further develop your skills and you may have the chance to try out more of our various care areas.

VO Care represented Södertälje Hospital in the Magnet4Europe study, and we are now continuing to work with the magnet model to enable a good working environment and nursing development.

With us, nursing assistants and nurses work together, and the operational area is also led by nurses. We provide care in several different areas such as internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, geriatrics, and palliative care. We are a total of 360 people distributed across nine care departments and ASIH, currently having 173 care places.

GAVA is a Geriatric Acute Care Unit. Common diagnoses at GAVA include heart failure, kidney failure, COPD, and various types of infections. We also receive patients for preparation for colonoscopy examinations.

On the unit, we work with continuous competence development that goes hand in hand with your personal development plan, and we apply Region Stockholm's competence ladders for nurses in clinical care. As a nurse, you should have an interest in the elderly and a willingness to learn new things. In early 2026, we will move into new purpose-built premises for both patients and staff. You will have the opportunity to help build the future of geriatrics.

If you are newly graduated, we offer you a safe start to your career through introduction and supervision on the unit. As a new graduate, you will also participate in the hospital's New Graduate Program, which combines skills training, lectures, and group discussions. For those with previous experience or as a specialist nurse, there are great opportunities to use your knowledge in several different nursing areas with us.
