About us

MAVA/Department 356 is a medical acute care department with 27 beds from Monday to Friday and 21 beds on weekends.

Three of these beds are IMA beds with the possibility for an additional level of care. Our mission is to quickly provide qualified care, treatment, and nursing to severely ill and unstable medical patients. Our patients primarily come from the emergency department, but also from the ICU and other departments in the hospital. The diagnoses vary widely among the patients we care for, with the most common being chest pain, heart failure, arrhythmia, COPD, pneumonia, sepsis, and intoxications. To perform our work in the best way, we have the opportunity for telemetry monitoring as well as NIV treatments.

MAVA is characterized by a good and permissive social climate. We who work here find that we have an exciting, stimulating, and very varied job. We have a workplace with excellent collaboration and work climate.

We apply individual scheduling, which means you work according to preferences, with schedules set in ten-week intervals.

We apply individual goal planning for your personal development with individual follow-up at least once a year.

We are looking for you who are a trained nursing assistant, and we prefer that you have several years of experience working in an acute care department.

You should be flexible to handle sudden situations with a calm demeanor. You should be independent in your work and have a strong interest in improving care in our medical acute care department.

Furthermore, you should be ambitious and have a good willingness to learn new things. You have a positive attitude, good interpersonal skills, and you work together with your colleagues and department manager for the best of the patient. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
