Make a difference. Every day.

Are you confident in yourself and find it exciting not to know what your workday will look like? Then we believe you could thrive as a nursing assistant with us in the Surgical Department Acute and Ear, Nose, and Throat Department (Kava/ENT) in Helsingborg!

Kava/ENT is currently under construction, and our vision is to eventually open up to 18 to 22 beds. We provide advanced and complex care around the clock. It is a challenging yet educational environment where the team around the patient works together towards a common goal. We place great importance on the individual and encourage professional development to promote strong competence within the team. During the construction phase, our team will consist of individuals with various skills and experiences, and together we will set our common goals. We value good interactions and supporting each other while creating a workplace where joy and community are a natural part.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We welcome two nursing assistants who want to be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, and more.

In the role of nursing assistant, you will perform common nursing assistant tasks within somatic care. Responsibilities include, for example, NEWS checks, sampling, wound care, tracheostomy care, tubes, and drains. You will encounter patients with varying care needs, where you as a nursing assistant need to be flexible and positive in a sometimes stressful work environment. You will work in a team where planning, being attentive, and taking initiative are essential to provide patients with good and safe care. Surrounding the team are service hosts, dietitians, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and responsible nursing assistants, among others.

At Kava/ENT, we primarily care for patients with acute surgical diseases/conditions. The most common reasons for admission include abdominal-related diagnoses, acute bleeding, and traumatic injuries. We also care for a smaller group of patients within the ear, nose, and throat specialty, where diagnoses may include jaw surgery, patients with tracheostomy, and facial trauma.

Acute nursing care also involves pre- and postoperative management. We receive patients at all hours of the day, with most admissions coming through the emergency department. The department is also responsible for the Ear, Nose, and Throat emergency department, staffed with doctors and nursing assistants.

For us, it is of utmost importance that you feel comfortable and secure in your role as a nursing assistant. As a new employee, you will receive an introduction with guidance tailored to you. We have experienced nursing assistants in the department who are happy to share their knowledge and experience and support you in your new workplace. Region Skåne has a mandatory introductory package that you will participate in.

Evening, night, and weekend shifts are part of the positions. We use a wish schedule, and you will work two weekends out of five.
