Vacant job

Do you want to work in an organization where you can follow patients' progress during their care and value teamwork? Then you should apply to us! We have an open and inviting culture, and our teamwork is characterized by great commitment - we support, help, and learn from each other.

Our Offer

In the field of pain and rehabilitation medicine, our clinic conducts specialized team-based assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injuries, acquired brain injuries, complex pain, fatigue, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

The clinic's inpatient department primarily receives patients with acquired brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Patients often come in an early stage after acute illness or injury to begin their primary rehabilitation, but they also come in a later phase for secondary rehabilitation. We also have intermediate care for patients needing monitoring, respiratory care, and rehabilitation. Our inpatient department has 12 beds divided into 2 care teams. We are a resource unit for the Southeast healthcare region and have close collaboration with other services involved in the patients' care and rehabilitation. Interprofessional teamwork, where the patient, relatives, and relevant professionals jointly formulate goals for the current rehabilitation, permeates our working methods. We have adapted facilities to stimulate and challenge patients; for example, a training session can be conducted in our gym or combined with outdoor activities on our fantastic terrace! The clinic is a university hospital unit with pride in our expertise in neurology, pain, and rehabilitation. Research, teaching, and development are significant parts of the clinic's work.

Here you can read about our career ladder for nurses and also about your benefits with us.

Job Description

You will work with neurological rehabilitation in inpatient care alongside nursing assistants, rehabilitation assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, social workers, dietitians, rehabilitation instructors, and doctors. You collaborate with the interprofessional team daily.

In our inpatient care, patients are usually in a stable medical condition but still require inpatient care and rehabilitation. In addition to regular nursing tasks, you will work with rehabilitative care. In the care team, you will collaborate as a nurse with several nursing assistants since our patients need time and opportunity to practice various aspects of care situations and often have significant care needs.

Since patients' length of stay is one or more months, there are usually good conditions for planning and structuring workdays. As a nurse with us, you should have time and conditions for close collaboration with patients and the team. You are expected, together with other professionals, to actively drive patients' rehabilitation processes forward, which includes, for example, discharge planning and participating in goal planning with the patient, relatives, and team. We place great importance on openness and discussion within the care team to achieve the best possible rehabilitation for our patients.

Work Group

At the clinic, 26 nurses work, of which 15 are in inpatient care. We have a stable nursing group with low staff turnover. We are now looking for two nurses because one employee is moving to another location, and one has chosen to further develop through studies and research.

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse or are in the final semester of the nursing program. Experience in urotherapy is an advantage. You have an interest in neurological rehabilitation and enjoy working in a team. As a person, you are accommodating, listen, and communicate constructively. You see opportunities and strive to find solutions. You have a good ability to adapt to changes and are meticulous, planning, and organizing your work effectively.

We welcome both new and experienced nurses! As a newly graduated nurse with us, you will have time and opportunity to grow into your new role. We have specialist nurses in clinical service and several experienced colleagues. If you are a more experienced nurse, there are various paths for further development, and we are keen to utilize your previous experiences and knowledge in different areas of responsibility. You will receive an introductory mentor to help you integrate and develop in your work.
