Intermediate Care Unit (IMA) is hiring a Nursing Assistant

The Intermediate Care Unit (IMA) is a relatively new care department, which means we are still developing the department together. It is a round-the-clock operation, and patients come to us from all over the hospital. The patients cared for at IMA require a higher level of care than in a regular ward, but not as advanced as in intensive care. At IMA, we have five care places divided into two care teams, and the average length of stay is about 1-2 days.

The workplace is characterized by a happy, professional, and inclusive environment where we have close collaboration. Welcome with your application!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

In the department, you will meet individuals with various medical diagnoses of varying severity, where admissions and discharges, acute nursing, medical treatment, and monitoring take place around the clock. The daily work will be very varied, and you will work in a team with a nurse. Together, you will care for 2-3 patients. As a nursing assistant, you will also participate in the daily rounds, as everyone’s information is important to consider in the treatment of unstable patients.

As a nursing assistant with us, you will work with:

• regular measurement and monitoring of vital parameters

• advanced nursing care
• wound dressing
• mobilization.

With us, you will receive:

• a thorough and personalized introduction
• the opportunity to make meaningful contributions and be part of a larger context
