Make a difference. Every day.

The Neurosurgery Unit (VO) in Lund is one of seven neurosurgical units in Sweden that offers highly specialized care in the Southern Health Care Region for patients with injuries and diseases of the central nervous system. Within the VO neurosurgery, there are surgery, neuro-intensive care, inpatient care, day care, and outpatient clinics.

Our team consists of nursing assistants, nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and medical secretaries. We have a strong focus on patient safety. Most patients have a planned admission for surgery and are admitted through our outpatient admission, which means well-prepared and secure patients before surgery.

Our workplace is built on joy, safety, engagement, and competence. These cornerstones lead us to provide our neurosurgical patients with good and safe care. We continuously review how we work and change our methods based on needs. We strive to be adaptable and innovative, and therefore we have a strong focus on thinking outside the box and finding new solutions that meet the changing needs of society.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We welcome two new colleagues to our neurosurgery department.

As a nursing assistant with us, you will work in a team with other professional categories in the department. You will have an interesting and developing job focused on pre- and post-operative care of neurosurgical patients. In your role, you see the whole patient and can adapt your care according to the patient's various needs during their stay. We welcome students who you are expected to mentor. The department prioritizes lectures and case studies to strengthen and increase the competence of our staff. The workday ends with a reflection where we collectively review the day.

As a new colleague with us, you will receive four weeks of introduction with regular follow-up. For us, safety is an important guiding principle, which also includes continuously working on your competence - safe employees create safe patients.
