We are looking for you who want to work in hearing care

With a placement in Hagfors, you will have the opportunity to explore the beautiful northern Värmland while working with hearing rehabilitation and technical aids.

Your workplace

The healthcare sector is Region Värmland's largest operation. Together with our patients, we strengthen public health and develop healthcare so that it can contribute to a world-class quality of life for the people of Värmland. We operate 30 health centers with maternal and child health care and many other specialist clinics. In Värmland, there are emergency hospitals in Arvika, Karlstad, and Torsby.

The hearing care service is a regional operation under the ear, nose, and throat clinic (ENT). This means that all hearing care has the same principal. We have operations in Arvika, Karlstad, Kristinehamn, Hagfors, Säffle, Sunne, and Torsby.

We are now looking for a full-time audiologist based in Hagfors. Currently, the Hagfors clinic is completely unstaffed but has previously been staffed by two traveling audiologists from Torsby and other locations. As the influx to hearing care is constantly increasing, we need to staff the clinic with permanent personnel on-site daily.

Our wish for the future is that more audiologists will broaden their horizons and dare to move to northern Värmland. You are needed! Grateful patients are waiting, and a calmer life is offered! Here you can enjoy forests filled with mushrooms and berries, hiking trails in beautiful landscapes, friendly people, and fantastic schools and recreational activities for children. If you enjoy winter sports, there is proximity to, among other things, a ski tunnel and downhill skiing.

Your tasks

Hearing educators, social workers, and engineers have regional operations based in Karlstad, while audiologists are stationed at various locations in the region.

Within hearing care, we work in teams around the patient and meet regularly either physically or remotely. Work may, if necessary, be at other locations. Since there are few audiologists at these clinics, in addition to hearing rehabilitation and hearing tests, you will also manage the daily operations.

Since the hearing care clinics to be served are not very large, there will be variation in the work with basic rehabilitation, measurements, and technical aids. Sometimes you will also collaborate with other professional groups at the health center, but most of the time the work is completely independent, and if you have experience in the profession, it is very beneficial. There are varied challenges both with new and very old hearing aids.

Your skills and competencies

We are looking for you who are a licensed audiologist. As the work involves travel, a driver's license is a requirement for placement in Hagfors.

We work in AuditBase and Cosmic, and experience with these systems is therefore meritorious.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and are looking for someone who has good collaborative skills while being self-driven and flexible in their work approach. Do you want to help create a positive change for our grateful patients? Apply today and become part of our fantastic team!
