The leader we are looking for has the task of stimulating and developing the operations together with the employees.

At both Thorax surgery and Thorax radiology, the main work is scheduled during the day, with on-call duties in connection with acute surgeries and examinations.

The operating room nurses work in teams together with anesthetic nurses, anesthesiologists, and perfusionists. The department also has licensed nurses and nursing assistants.

At Thorax radiology, collaboration occurs with several professional categories employed and/or affiliated with Thorax radiology. Employees at Thorax radiology consist of radiology nurses and licensed nurses as well as nursing assistants. Thorax radiology is a unique department with two modern interventional labs that perform both acute and planned examinations.

You are a good ambassador for the operations, and your ability to be open to and work with improvements makes you a role model in the departments.
