About Us

The surgical department in Skövde is the largest department in the hospital, has the most emergency beds, and primarily provides emergency care. The work is varied, and as a complement to the emergency flow, we also have some planned care. Right now, we are in an expansive phase and will further increase the number of care places during the spring, and we will also become a disaster care department.

We care for patients with diseases of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract as well as surgical diseases such as malignant melanoma, breast cancer, and endocrine diseases. Patients with burns, head injuries, and fall trauma also come here. We also have a portion of patients who come in with what is called open return, which means that patients with a cancer diagnosis do not need to seek care through the emergency department.

For us, it is important to work on development and continuous improvement - all to be able to offer the best care for our patients, as well as a stimulating work environment for our employees.

We Are Looking For

More creative, kind-hearted, skilled, and caring employees who enjoy working in an educational and inspiring environment alongside incredibly competent colleagues. Well-being and camaraderie with colleagues are essential for having satisfied employees. This also leads to even better and safer care for patients. We want you, who work with us, to feel that you make a difference every day.

A valid nursing degree is a requirement for the position, and if you have a few years of work experience, it is an advantage. Great emphasis will also be placed on personal suitability.

If you are a newly graduated nurse, you will be part of the Clinical Foundation Year, which is our introduction program. The Clinical Foundation Year is mandatory and lasts during the first year of your employment with us. The Clinical Foundation Year includes introduction days, supervision and training days, as well as observation days.

Selection and interviews will be conducted continuously during the application period.
