Make a Difference. Every Day.

Are you a nurse looking to combine care with development? We are seeking you to join our team at the palliative care unit in Lund, with a part-time assignment in quality development.

The palliative care unit in Lund is organizationally part of the management of Close Care and Health, area of mobile teams and specialized palliative care in central Skåne. We offer specialized palliative care aimed at alleviating symptoms and preventing suffering associated with incurable or chronic illness. Patients are often, but far from always, at the end of life. More than half of the patients are admitted acutely via advanced home healthcare (ASIH), and all those who are admitted require specialized palliative inpatient care. Severe pain, anxiety, and infections are examples of common admission causes. After a period of treatment, some patients may return home.

If you are interested in learning and developing, both in your profession as a nurse and as a person, you will thrive in our department. We care about our community in the department and are good at organizing various types of staff activities.
