Our Operations

The Intermediate Care Unit (IMA) has about 35 employees and is the hospital's highest level of care with 5 beds. The unit is focused on medical intermediate care and primarily cares for patients with compromised vital functions, which includes managing advanced medical equipment and inotropic medications.

The pace is varied, with occasionally high turnover of patients; our average length of stay is about two days.

Your Mission

Your tasks consist of nursing, monitoring, and treatment of patients with care needs that cannot be met in a regular ward. In addition to acute care, we also conduct some planned activities such as electrical conversions and inpatient heart failure treatment.

Together with an anesthesiologist, we staff the hospital's emergency call function. This means assisting the rest of the hospital in acute situations and, on rare occasions, reinforcing ambulance services during the transport of patients to nearby hospitals. As a nurse in IMA, you will work alongside a nursing assistant and be responsible for 1-3 patients, meaning there is truly time and opportunity to provide good and close care. We offer you a varied and stimulating job where you will be able to utilize and develop your competencies. You will be part of a team while also expected to work independently.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed nurse with a specialization in intensive care, or alternatively, a registered nurse with at least two years of experience in emergency care/intermediate care.

Your Competence

We place great importance on personal qualities. You are responsible and contribute to good collaboration and a positive work environment. You can quickly reprioritize, thrive in changing paces, and enjoy varied tasks. You are confident in your professional role and can make independent decisions in acute situations.

We Offer

We offer a permanent full-time position; other working hours can be discussed.

We operate on a rotation basis according to a points model with reduced working hours and enhanced on-call compensation. Individual schedules are applied with shared responsibility for all hours of the day. There is an opportunity for you, as a registered nurse, to apply for specialist training in intensive care with study pay from the employer.

We provide a tailored introduction based on previous experiences. You are welcome to shadow our department to meet us and gain insight into the care we provide. Start date by agreement.

As a new employee at the Hospital in Enköping, you will receive a solid and supportive start to your career. In addition to your workplace-specific introduction, you will also participate in our extensive introduction week for new employees, KULE - Clinical Education Hospital in Enköping, where we offer an interprofessional setup. Here, you will meet and collaborate with colleagues from various professional categories.

For newly graduated nurses, we also offer an enhanced introduction for an additional three months. This includes reflective professional supervision as well as shadowing and coaching from our clinical adjunct. You will also participate in practical training at our KTC (Clinical Training Center), a safe and supportive environment to practice and develop your skills.

We offer a dynamic and inspiring workplace where you can make a difference every day. With us, there are also good opportunities for career development, with continuous further education and the possibility to advance within the hospital and Region Uppsala. We look forward to you becoming part of our team and contributing to making a difference in our patients' lives.
