Our Operations

At AVA, we care for patients who primarily have an internal medicine diagnosis. We have 30 beds distributed across 5 teams. Patients come to us after an initial assessment in the emergency department, or after care in the intensive care unit or intermediate care unit. The length of stay is short, which means a high turnover of patients that must be planned and coordinated. Patients have complex medical conditions, often with multiple diseases simultaneously.

Our patients are treated and monitored for about five days. We treat patients with chest pain, arrhythmias, heart failure, infections, diabetes, pulmonary embolisms, and venous thrombosis. It is a varied job where you constantly meet new patients with different types of conditions, and the pace of work is variable. We believe in present and coaching leadership and that you should feel safe in your workplace. It is an inclusive work climate, with high ceilings and where we work in teams. For us, YOU are important.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that gender balance and diversity bring to the organization and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a hiring decision, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted regarding all applicants who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of substance abusers, areas that are covered by optional record extracts. This applies to anyone who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not currently intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts, and we kindly ask for no phone calls from recruitment companies and ad sellers.
