District Nurse/Nurse for Home Care in Östersund

Are you a district nurse or nurse interested in a varied daytime job with attractive working conditions? Then you might be the person we want to meet!

The municipality of Östersund is now looking for a nurse or district nurse for a flexible position in home care, located in central Östersund. The central home care area includes the municipal home care groups Marielund, Erikslund, Staden Övre, and Staden Nedre.

The flexibility of the position means that you will work beyond the existing staff and be booked out to the home care area where there is the greatest need at the moment. For example, you may replace regular staff during absences or provide support in a group that has a lot to do. In other words, the needs of the operations will dictate which citizens you will visit, and you will not have a fixed patient responsibility.

The working hours are 08:00-17:00, and weekend work may be required (currently, your future colleagues work every 10th weekend).

Your New Job

Our goal is to provide safe and secure care to our citizens who are supported by home care. The position requires that you are confident in your professional role and self-sufficient. There are good opportunities for collegial support as the group has joint morning meetings daily and communicates by phone throughout the day when consultation is needed.

In addition to the central home care area, the municipality of Östersund also has an area for Torvalla and Brunflo and one for Frösön and Lit. You will primarily work in the central area and with the home care groups that belong there, but if necessary, you will also support our other home care areas.

In this position, you will have the opportunity to participate in the municipality's development work regarding routines, collaborations with the region, and with the medically responsible nurse.

Common Tasks

As a district nurse, you plan, lead, and perform the work with home care together with the teams in home care and in collaboration with health centers and specialist care. You will perform standard district nurse tasks, where common tasks include wound care and palliative care. You play an important role in educating and supervising base staff and relatives. It is also your task to assess the knowledge of base staff and provide delegations so that staff can administer medications correctly.

In Östersund municipality, we work according to a health-promoting and rehabilitative approach. A preventive measure that all citizens can take part in is that we organize health meetings at the municipality's meeting places.
