Our Operations

The patients we care for have brain hemorrhages, tumors in the brain and spine, spinal injuries, vascular malformations, and hydrocephalus.

Since you will work as the sole nursing assistant in our teams, you need experience and knowledge in documentation and good planning of your work.

The position may be filled before the application deadline, so do not hesitate to submit your application.

For your development, we also have regularly scheduled training days where we deepen our knowledge in current topics as a group. We have an internal advanced course in neurosurgery for nursing assistants and nurses over six full days. This course is offered each semester, and all staff are invited to attend.
