Vacant job

Working at MAVA/MOA is very stimulating as we work with varied patient groups.

No day is the same as both the pace of work and tasks vary. As a new nurse, I started working at MAVA, but my goal was also to work at MOA where the most severely ill patients at the Hospital in Motala (LiM) are cared for. The department organizes a lot of training which has allowed me to gain the competence required to work at MOA. Our daily work is team-based which has provided a great sense of security. We work according to a wish schedule which means that I can request my working days 10–12 weeks in advance.

Welcome to a unit with a strong sense of community! Here, good communication and a positive approach are a given.

Our Offer

At MAVA/MOA, you will meet patients with very varied medical conditions, but the most common are infections and various types of lung diseases. At MOA, we care for the most severely ill, such as those with respiratory failure, sepsis, circulatory failure, severe electrolyte disturbances, ketoacidosis, seizures, and more. As a newcomer to the department, you always start by working at MAVA to eventually be able to work at MOA if you wish. As a new employee, you will be offered an individually tailored orientation period depending on your previous experience. The orientation period can vary between 1-3 months, and during this time, you will have your own mentor who regularly checks in to provide you with the conditions you need for a secure and good start at your new workplace.

We care about your working hours being balanced with the rest of your life, and therefore you have a great opportunity to influence your schedule. We also offer the opportunity to work according to the 90/10 work model, which means a weekly working time of 34 hours and 25 minutes instead of 38 hours and 15 minutes. This gives you four extra hours for leisure interests and recovery each week.
