The center serves patients in northern Sweden who require highly specialized care. It is also nationally recognized for its treatment of MS, Parkinson's disease, ALS, hydrocephalus, and stroke.

We are now looking for a nursing assistant who wants to be part of our team in the Neurology Department. Here, you will encounter a patient flow with both acute and planned admissions, where the patient's needs are always at the center. The Neurology Department offers high-quality care in an organization characterized by development and collaboration.

We operate according to a balance model (model 3), which means significant participation in scheduling based on the needs of the organization. The model includes night work and provides approximately 20% higher compensation for inconvenient working hours compared to central collective agreements.
