Make a Difference. Every Day.

The Neuro Intensive Care Unit (NIVA) in Lund provides highly specialized intensive care and is part of the area of operations (VO) for neurosurgery and pain rehabilitation. We have a regional assignment which means we serve the entire Southern healthcare region with highly specialized neuro intensive care. NIVA has six intensive care beds where we primarily care for patients with severe head and/or spinal injuries. We are a high-tech intensive care unit characterized by a desire to achieve medical results of the highest quality.

NIVA also has an intermediate care unit (IMA) with five beds where we care for acute patients with intermediate care needs. The unit also functions as a step-down unit for our patients who no longer require intensive care. The care needs at IMA can vary from advanced care to lighter monitoring. We also have a postoperative unit with four beds where we provide postoperative care for the unit's newly operated patients. The postoperative unit also cares for newly operated children.

The neurosurgical department in Lund is one of six facilities in Sweden that perform neurosurgery. We have round-the-clock operations in our operating department and we also have a care department, day care services, and a clinic. Approximately 300 people work within the organization, of which 100 are at NIVA.

JOB DESCRIPTION

We offer an exciting and varied work environment with satisfying and challenging tasks. Working as an ICU nurse at NIVA means you will have a varied job with rapid changes. We work in a high-tech environment where, in addition to standard equipment for intensive care, we also use a variety of equipment for neuromonitoring. The head or spinal injured patient is our focus, and several research projects are conducted in the department to develop neuro intensive care. The organization is staff-dense, and we who work here have different competencies which benefit our operations.

When you start your employment with us, you will be offered an introductory program based on your needs. If you are an ICU nurse with previous experience from intensive care, you will have a good foundation to stand on when you start with us. If you are a newly graduated ICU nurse, we offer you a longer introduction, tailored to support you in your new professional role. Furthermore, you will have two mentors who will guide you through your initial period. At NIVA, we actively work with knowledge-seeking and regularly offer lectures and training. We view knowledge development positively and allocate resources for responsibilities, projects, and studies at universities and colleges.

We have a popular point salary system where you can request your work schedule. We work three shifts with a weekly working time of 36.33 hours. If you wish to allocate most of your working hours to the night, there is an opportunity for this. The position is full-time, but there is an option to work part-time.

QUALIFICATIONS

We welcome you who are a licensed nurse with permission to practice within Swedish healthcare. In addition, you have a specialist nurse degree in intensive care. Language skills in Swedish at least corresponding to level C1 according to the Council of Europe's level scale are a requirement. Experience in neurosurgical care is considered an asset.

To thrive in the role, it is important that you have good collaboration skills and that you promote good cooperation both internally and externally. The work requires you to be flexible, have a strong commitment, and good communication skills. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
