JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

One of our colleagues is going on parental leave, and therefore we welcome a new nursing colleague for a temporary position with us!

In the role of a nurse, the main responsibilities are to make assessments and decisions regarding the patient's care needs. As support in the decisions, you have the triage system RETTS and the triage manual, as well as the opportunity to consult with other nurses and doctors. The tasks also include telephone advice, psychiatric and somatic care, as well as acute medical interventions. You will also have close collaboration with healthcare partners and authorities such as the police, correctional services, and social services.

The tasks are often varied and exciting as you uniquely encounter the full spectrum of mental health issues in different phases. You will become an expert in patient interaction and will have time for each patient. There is also the opportunity to take on various responsibilities and have roles such as fire and safety representative, environmental representative, influence representative, ethics representative, or child representative.

In addition to a pleasant and exciting workplace, we offer you an introduction and shadowing tailored to your skills and previous experiences. We assume that everyone has an individual learning process and see it as a given that you will receive support from colleagues to become confident in your new role. Internal training is held continuously to raise the level of competence and streamline care work.

Work shifts will occur during the day, evening, and weekends. We are open to having a dialogue about working hours and schedules based on preferences, provided it fits the operations.

The position is a temporary role for 1 year.
