Curious about geriatrics? Want to try something new? Or are you looking for a safe place to start as a nurse? Why a temporary position with us?

Our Offer

Do you want to work in a department where team spirit is as strong as competence, where you can be close to the patient – and where you can grow in your role as a nurse? Then you are warmly welcome to try the geriatric clinic (GAVA) at Vrinnevisjukhuset.

We are looking for nurses for temporary positions and welcome both those who are new to the profession and those who want to try a new field or patient group.

GAVA is a geriatric acute care department where everyday life includes both pace, reflection, and many laughs. Here we care for elderly, often frail patients with complex needs – and we do it together.

A temporary position at GAVA is perfect for you if:

• you want to try geriatrics and see if it’s right for you
• you are a new nurse and want a safe start with good introduction
• you want to change direction for a period and broaden your competence
• you are not yet sure where you want to go – but want to learn a lot

You will receive:

• Introduction and mentorship tailored to your experience
• Opportunity to participate in improvement and development work
• A broad clinical experience that will benefit you regardless of your future career

Job Description

As a nurse at GAVA, you have a central role in patient care. You lead and coordinate nursing work and work closely with: doctors, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, speech therapists, and pharmacists. Here you get to work with a holistic view – where the medical, functional, and human aspects go hand in hand.

Work Group

With us, you will meet a safe and welcoming team where questions are always okay. We are a workplace where collaboration and respect are genuine. Here, colleagues support each other – even when it is intense.

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse.

Since you work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

• Are curious, responsible, and want to develop
• Enjoy teamwork and appreciate variety in everyday life
• Want to contribute to both good care and a good work environment

You do not need to have worked in geriatrics before – the important thing is that you want to learn.
