Do you want a fun and independent job and be part of a wonderful team? We are currently looking for nurses who want to substitute during the summer - a perfect opportunity to try working in a palliative care department.

Our care is person-centered and our values are based on patient interaction, participation, teamwork, close leadership, and job satisfaction. We work in a multiprofessional team consisting of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, dieticians, social workers, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. Together, we have a working method that promotes good quality and high safety for both patients, relatives, and staff. We also have regular visits from a chaplain from the hospital church, volunteers, and clown medicine.

Relatives are allowed to stay in the department around the clock. We care for individuals aged 18 and older with various diagnoses, the most common being cancer, COPD, heart failure, and neurological diseases where individuals have a limited remaining lifespan. Patients may receive active treatments to slow the progression, alleviate symptoms, and/or increase quality of life. With a holistic view of the individual, our focus is on creating safety around the clock for the patient and their relatives through high availability, participation, and continuity. Every day, we strive for a workplace where all employees are valued equally, and where you as an employee are welcome to provide suggestions for improvement and where your opinions play a significant role in future work. We aim for continuous professional development.

We have close collaboration with our ASIH teams located in Solberga, Handen, Nacka, and Långbro Park.
