Vacant job

At Region Dalarna, you will find a meaningful job where you can make a difference. Together, we work for a sustainable Dalarna with development power in all parts of the county.

We have moved into a state-of-the-art intensive care unit - take the chance to become part of the fantastic team working here! We are looking for you who are a nursing assistant and are interested in joining us. IVA Falun is a general intensive care unit with 8 beds. We care for the hospital's sickest patients, both children and adults. Our ambition is to staff our intensive care unit with even more competent stars to expand our ability to deliver high-quality care to more of our residents in Dalarna. We welcome you who have worked for a few years and are ready for new challenges.

You will receive an individualized structured introduction according to a special introduction program over 8 weeks. The introduction is planned with the department's care developer. You will be part of a foundational year with teaching sessions and reflections several times during the year. During the first half of the year, we will follow up the introduction with regular reflection conversations. After completing the introduction, you will work in a team with experienced colleagues. You will also be offered the opportunity for mentorship.

Benefits:

• Opportunities for professional development
• Wellness allowance of 2000 SEK/year
• Free gym access at the hospital
• Reduced bus pass prices with Datatrafik
• Within Region Dalarna, we have a time valuation model that affects the number of hours worked when you work nights. This means better schedules with the possibility of recovery when working on rotation (day, evening, and night). The employment entails a collective responsibility for staffing every day of the year and every hour of the day. The calculations in the time valuation model are based on a full-time measure of 37 hours/week. The schedule is planned individually based on the needs of the operations.

In the intensive care unit, the county's sickest patients are cared for, with failure in vital functions such as breathing, circulation, and consciousness. Many of our patients are unconscious or sedated and need assistance with all care. As a nursing assistant with us, you will be welcomed into a personnel-dense operation with good camaraderie and close teamwork. We work in teams together with nurses, doctors, and physiotherapists. Our patients require constant monitoring and presence of staff. To make this possible, you will work as a nursing assistant with one to two patients, depending on the care needs. You are an important piece in the care of our patients and their relatives. Your workdays will consist of close care and being the patient's safety during serious illness and injury.

We are looking for someone who:

• is a trained nursing assistant with a degree from the Health and Care Program or the vocational package Health and Care in adult education
• has a diploma from the Health and Care College

As a person, you contribute a positive attitude to your work. You have the ability to create a calm and safe environment for our patients in close collaboration with colleagues. The work pace can vary, so you need to be prepared for when plans change and quickly be able to switch up or down. There is much to learn here, so it is important to be curious and always dare to ask if you are unsure. You should function well in a team and have good collaboration skills while also enjoying working independently. For us, it is important to have joy at work, to think innovatively, and to spread positive energy. You take responsibility for your work and are humble enough to step in where needed. You are confident in yourself and want to enjoy your job. We value that you have a burning interest in advanced care as it is the most important role of the nursing assistant in intensive care.
