We are looking for a new colleague to our team!

Are you looking for a varied and patient-centered job with many different activities under the same roof? Then you might be the one we are looking for. We offer you a meaningful job where you have the opportunity to develop and grow with us.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for dedicated nurses who want to care closely for patients, who are passionate about providing a safe and professional encounter, and who prioritize the patient. We aim to become Sweden's best stroke care unit again. Do you want to join us on this journey?

We care for acute stroke patients in the monitoring unit, patients who need rehabilitation after a stroke, patients who need mobilization and pain relief after fractures, and geriatric patients with medical conditions. We treat complex issues such as disabilities, swallowing difficulties, visual disturbances, and speech difficulties related to stroke.

Anna-Maria's thoughts on being employed here: “My experience as a nurse on ward 2 is that it is a department characterized by safety, care, and humor. I think this is important when we work with people who are in a transformative situation in life. We have a strong collaboration with other professions, which I believe has broadened my knowledge as a nurse.”

With us, you will provide immediate and specialized care. You will be responsible for acute treatment, monitor the patient's condition, and support early mobilization. Your tasks will include standard nursing responsibilities where you have overall care responsibility, perform sampling, administer medications, supervise and manage access points such as IVs, central lines, or peripheral lines. We also handle catheters, various types of drains, preparation of antibiotics in the final system, and use medical equipment such as medication pumps, feeding pumps, and monitoring equipment in the form of telemetry monitoring.

An important part of your work will be to work closely with the patient and involve relatives in the care process to create good conditions for the patient's recovery. It is important for us that patients feel safe and seen when they are cared for here. We offer varied tasks and you will be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, doctors, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dietitians, and social workers.

Our operations are regularly evaluated against national guidelines and quality registers to ensure high care quality.

About the workplace

We are constantly working to improve care for our patients and to create a good working environment and a fun and rewarding workplace. Employees are offered the opportunity to drive projects and develop the operations together. We provide all our staff with training in stroke care (3 credits).

The Medical Clinic in Köping provides acute internal medicine care in western and northern Västmanland, with a catchment area of approximately 85,000 inhabitants. Within the Medical Clinic in Köping, all internal medical diseases are investigated and treated, and each department has profile areas where staff have in-depth knowledge. The clinic is large enough to provide good experience in treating common medical diseases and small enough for individual employees to see the whole picture, be recognized, and feel at home throughout the clinic. We have a good working environment and community.

We have 18 care places distributed among acute stroke, rehabilitation, orthopedic rehab, and geriatrics. Currently, we have about 50 employees. On ward 2, you will be welcomed to a workplace with a family-like and open work climate where we value good collaboration among all professions.

For us, it is important that you feel good and enjoy your job, therefore we offer you:

• tailored introduction program to help you feel secure and confident in your professional role
• opportunity for professional development through internal training
• a workplace for different stages of life, with the possibility of flexible working hours within certain frameworks

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse and preferably have a few years of experience in the profession. If you have experience in caring for stroke patients, that is an advantage. If you do not have prior experience but are interested in the position, you will be offered internal training.

As a person, you are confident, stable, and have good self-awareness. Since the work can change rapidly in various ways, you need to be flexible and able to maintain your calm and focus in new situations. You have a good ability to structure your work independently and take responsibility for your tasks. We work in teams and see collaboration and clarity as very important ingredients for success. The work on the ward involves close contact with both patients and relatives, which makes empathy an important fundamental character trait for you.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
