Department of Academic Children's Hospital

Little hearts need great care! We are a small hospital in the big world, and it is precisely in the small that our greatness lies. Here, all the expertise a sick child may need is available, along with good collaboration, respect, and care. We offer a really good introduction for newcomers and many interesting opportunities for development. There is also unexpectedly much joy in what can sometimes be very difficult. We take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know that we do a much better job together!

Our operations

At the Department for Acute and Specialized Pediatrics, 95 E, we see a need to increase the number of available inpatient care places. Our goal is to increase from 8 to 12 care places and therefore we are looking for more nursing assistants. The Department for Acute and Specialized Pediatrics 95 E is part of the section for acute pediatric care, together with the emergency department for children and youth. Since we are in close proximity to each other, there is also the opportunity for rotation between the units.

At department 95 E, we care for, treat, and investigate children aged 0-18 years who need a few days of inpatient care. We primarily care for children with acute infections and medical diseases, but we are always prepared to care for pediatric patients from other sections.

We who work within the section are a wonderful group who are passionate about our work. Our multidisciplinary team always has the sick child and family at the center. We value good teamwork and have an open, permissive work climate. Patient safety and a professional approach are natural parts of our work, and we place great focus on daily, joint training sessions for the section's staff groups. We emphasize that all new employees receive a safe and structured introduction. As a nursing assistant, you will be followed up by our development leaders who focus on supporting you in your individual needs during your first year with us. Reflection at the end of shifts and feedback after difficult patient cases are also highly valued in our operations. Thanks to our different competencies and experiences, we develop and make each other even better in our work with our patients. Since our section focuses on acutely ill pediatric patients and their relatives, the section sees a great need for further education and development. Therefore, the section has development leaders and coordinators who work for safety both within the staff group and for visitors.

Your mission

At department 95E, you will work closely with many different professions. The work involves the usual tasks for nursing assistants in an acute care department for children and youth and offers great variety in terms of difficulty, content, and pace. Since patients' conditions can change rapidly, the work is both varied and challenging. A well-functioning teamwork is therefore always in focus.

As a new nursing assistant at 95 E, you will become part of our fantastic team and have the opportunity to grow into your new professional role as we open more care places!

Your competence

We are looking for you who have a great interest in acute pediatric care and find it exciting to learn new things. You are able to switch work pace easily as patients can quickly deteriorate in their general condition. You enjoy challenges and are engaged in driving the operations forward.
