Are you a nurse looking for a job with great freedom and responsibility? Do you want to work with individuals with mental and intellectual disabilities? Then you might be the one we are looking for to join Health and Medical Care Team 6, help us develop our function in Sweden's ninth largest municipality!

Welcome to Us

The Health and Medical Care function (HS) in Jönköping Municipality consists of 13 interdisciplinary HS Teams, as well as a Home Team.

HS Team 6 is part of the function with a catchment area in Jönköping Municipality for individuals with disabilities. Our team includes the municipality's psychiatric team (KPT) and the team for intellectual disabilities (TIF). The positions involve work within TIF and KPT where you will be responsible for a number of residences with a certain number of patients, but with close collaboration. The workgroup consists of nurses/specialist nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and unit administrators. We operate from the team location at Asecs shopping center.

Your New Job

As a nurse in Team 6, you will have patient responsibility for health and medical care interventions within special accommodations for individuals with intellectual disabilities, including service and group homes as well as daily activities. You will perform both planned and acute interventions for patients of all ages in close collaboration with primary and inpatient care. The care needs vary, which means that your tasks will range from common interventions to more advanced care – for example, assessment of mental health, medication evaluation, sampling, wound care, dialysis, infusions, and management of tracheostomy, CVK/venous ports, and drainage.

You will be responsible for independent medical assessments, treatments, and actions. We work health-promoting by identifying the patient's resources and abilities, preventing health risks, and motivating lifestyle changes. Documentation, counseling (acute and planned), and educational initiatives are central parts of the work to ensure safe and quality care. You will collaborate internally and externally to achieve continuity, efficiency, quality, and patient safety.

Your Competence

• You are a licensed nurse and if you have specialist training in psychiatry or district nursing, we consider it an asset.
• We prefer that you have at least one year of experience as a nurse or a couple of years of experience as a nursing assistant.
• Strongly meritorious with experience working with the target group, mental and/or intellectual disabilities.
• You have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, as many patients have difficulties with information exchange requiring good and creative communication skills. You also have good computer skills.
• Good physical mobility is required as the work takes place in home environments, which means you need to adapt your working methods based on the existing conditions.
• A B driver's license is a requirement as a car is used in the job.

We value that you are flexible, proactive, and positive towards change work – your ideas and experiences will be an important part of the team's development. You take responsibility for planning and structuring your work effectively, and you have good prioritization skills. You collaborate well with others, are attentive, and communicate in a clear and constructive manner, even in situations where conditions may change rapidly. Above all, you have a genuine interest in working with people. We place great emphasis on personal suitability for the position!

We Offer You

We work with a close trust-based leadership, which means you have the freedom to independently plan and structure your workday. When you start with us, we will agree on a suitable introduction program tailored to your experiences and qualifications. You will also have the opportunity to receive guidance from experienced colleagues from other teams.

As an employee of Jönköping Municipality, you will also have access to wellness grants, paid vacation during the first year of employment, and a generous flexible working hours agreement.
