Healthcare Assistants Wanted for HSF Staffing

In Region Gotland, you can develop and grow, both as an individual and together with others. When you work with us, you contribute to making Gotland an even better place for people in all walks of life. We make each other better.

Visby Hospital is Gotland's only hospital and contains units for both emergency and planned care, such as emergency reception and specialties in medicine, surgery, cardiology, infection, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, orthopedics, surgery, and intensive care.

Psychiatry is also part of the hospital's offerings but is geographically separate from the hospital in its own premises.

The island's location requires the resources of a large hospital while offering the closeness and community of a smaller hospital. Within healthcare on Gotland, close collaborations are formed quickly, and decision-making paths are short, creating agility for both patients and staff. Upon employment, we are eager for you to feel welcome; your development is our success, and we offer you good opportunities for professional development. You will gain both depth and breadth in your area of expertise as Visby Hospital, being the island's only emergency hospital, handles all of the island's patients.

We would like you to be available in several different units. Since the offerings and needs span many different units and specialties, there are great opportunities to develop, learn new things, and meet people in many different life situations. The more units you build your breadth with, the better your desired working hours and availability can be matched with the needs in the operations.

Your Responsibilities

In the role of hourly healthcare assistant with us, you will have a unique opportunity to care for patients across several different levels of care and medical specialties, primarily in inpatient departments but also within other units in healthcare.
