Hospitals in the West

Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Västra Götaland Region and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. About 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

Ward 8

Ward 8 is a medical ward with 28 beds – focusing on IMA/specialist medicine.

Three years ago, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern hospital ward buildings. The work has changed as each patient is now cared for in their own room, and the ward is equipped with the latest technology in the field.

Ward 8 will have 3 IMA-focused beds. In these intermediate care beds, patients are cared for who require care and treatment that necessitates special monitoring and training, but not intensive care. There is a higher staffing density of nursing assistants and nurses, as well as doctors, in these beds. You will have great opportunities to encounter many different interesting medical diagnoses within our three departments.

Job Responsibilities and Work Methods

On Ward 8, each nurse will be responsible for a maximum of 7 patients, of which 3 beds are IMA-focused. The work is led by two ward managers in a shared leadership model. The work on the ward is knowledge-intensive, developing, and exciting, and we provide advanced medical care. We work in teams and with person-centered care in collaboration with nursing assistants, nurses, paramedics, and doctors to ensure the best conditions for utilizing each other's competencies. We are looking for nurses for day and evening shifts.

About You

We are looking for someone who enjoys collaborating with others and wants to be part of our wonderful team, where we collectively drive the operation forward, work on improvement initiatives, and create and develop our ward and our methods with the patients in focus.

It is important to us that you are driven to help develop care with the patient at the center, as well as actively share your knowledge with colleagues and equally curiously engage with your colleagues' competencies.
