Make a Difference. Every Day.

The Palliative Care Department in Lund is organizationally part of the Near Care and Health administration, within the mobile teams and specialized palliative care area of central Skåne. We offer specialized palliative care aimed at alleviating symptoms and preventing suffering associated with incurable or chronic illness. Patients are often, but far from always, at the end of life. More than half of the patients are admitted acutely via advanced home healthcare (ASIH), and all who are admitted require specialized palliative inpatient care. Severe pain, anxiety, and infections are examples of common admission reasons. After a period of treatment, some patients may return home.

If you are interested in learning and developing, both in your profession as a nurse and as a person, you will thrive in our department. We are a department with a good work environment, where we care for each other and collaborate well.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We work with life, not with death.

We now welcome a nurse to join us at the Palliative Care Department in Lund.

In the role of nurse, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, chefs, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. Sometimes a therapy dog is also included in the team.

The work is person-centered with a focus on making a difference for our patients and their loved ones every day. In your daily work, you will face many independent decisions, but there are always colleagues in the team to support and assist you. The work can involve everything from medical tasks to nursing and support for relatives.

We provide care around the clock with shifts during the day, evening, and night. In this position, there is an opportunity to work permanent day/evening shifts.

When you start with us, you will receive a tailored introduction that is adapted to your specific needs. After that, you will be offered a mentorship program to support your development and integration into our organization.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare. Furthermore, proficiency in Swedish at least at level C1 according to the Council of Europe's scale is a requirement. It is an advantage if you are a specialist nurse and have training in supervision or pain management, but we value your competence regardless of background.

You who are applying are confident in your professional role and work person-centered, which means you have the ability to consider both the unique needs of the patient and their relatives. Since part of the work involves support and conversations, it is important that you are communicative and have a knack for meeting people in various situations. Additionally, you are a team player who can prioritize between different tasks when the work pace is sometimes high. We are keen to find the right person for the position and therefore place great emphasis on personal suitability.

In this recruitment, ongoing selection is applied. We warmly welcome your application today!
