Job Advertisement: Nurse for the Neonatal Department

At the neonatal department at Gävle Hospital, premature infants from week 29 and sick newborns are cared for along with their families. Our care duration can vary from a few hours to a month. We work family-centered, where all care planning and nursing actions are performed in consultation with the child's guardians. We have a developed working method that gives every newborn a safer start in life. The project 'Newborn Unified Family' has changed the collaboration between delivery, postnatal care, and care for newborns in Gävle. The goal is zero separation - that children and parents can be together immediately from birth, regardless of care needs.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

At the neonatal department, we work to avoid all types of separation between the child and mother during the newborn period. Mother and partner are the primary caregivers (skin-to-skin care) for the newborn. We follow WHO's ten steps that promote breastfeeding. The children cared for by us require specific nursing care. They may also need monitoring and special medical equipment such as CPAP treatment or high-flow nasal cannula.

As a nurse with us, you will work with:

• standard tasks on the ward such as rounds, sample collection, and examinations
• acute care, with readiness to respond to alarms in delivery/operation and maternity ward
• planning and documentation of the child's care duration
• supporting guardians to understand the infant's needs and signals and to become confident and independent in caring for their child.

With us, you will receive:

• ten weeks of introduction with a mentor where we integrate both practical and theoretical training
• an own mentor throughout the first year to create security in learning and development
• opportunities for internal learning as we collaborate with several departments in various simulation exercises.

The work involves irregular working hours. Scheduling is done in TimeCare, which is a planning tool. Bonus agreements exist, meaning reduced working hours for night work.

Region Gävleborg offers various types of educational opportunities, a generous wellness allowance, and has its own training facility for employees.
