Mobile Care Team

Our 1800 employees work with close care and health in Uppsala County. We offer a wide range of services within primary care. Our patients meet us at Region Uppsala's own health centers or within habilitation, and we provide advice over the phone via 1177. Education, research, and development are important to us, as we adapt our services based on the needs of the residents. We already offer mobile teams, video visits, and smart e-services.

Mobile Care Team is looking for a specialist physician

Do you want a good working environment with great opportunities to influence your own daily life and avoid overcrowded schedules? Then you should apply to the Mobile Care Team! With us, you can focus on the core mission. No duty at our emergency clinics or standby clinics is included in your assignment at the Mobile Care Team.

Here we offer you a free and varied job with both planned and acute interventions in patients' home environments, where you can allocate the time you need for each patient meeting. We offer a permanent position at 100%, and we will agree on when you start your employment.

We invest in secure employment and good benefits through our collective agreement. In addition to your individual development plan, we also have regular training days for skill development. This means you are part of a large network of knowledgeable colleagues. With us, you receive benefits that make a difference, read about them here (benefits brochure (https://www.regionuppsala.se/Global/Jobba%20hos%20oss/karri%E4rwebben/F%F6rm%E5nsbroschyr%20Region%20Uppsala_2019.pdf)).

Your mission

The Mobile Care Team is part of the Close and Efficient Care, and the work differs from regular primary care; the care comes home to the patients. Our motto for our patients is “away is good, but home is best.” You have the opportunity for a varied job where no day is like the other and you can finally focus on patient-centered work.

In the mobile care team, you will make home visits together with the unit's nurses to individuals aged 17 and older. The main target group is patients over 65 years old, with acute medical problems of a somatic nature, who are assessed to be manageable at the primary care level. The operation also has follow-up visits from care neighbors. We are now also developing our working methods by trying to help identify suitable patients at the Academic Hospital for a quick follow-up.

Your qualifications

We are looking for you who are a specialist physician in general medicine, geriatrics, internal medicine, emergency medicine, or another suitable specialty. You should be confident in yourself and in your medical assessments. We work solution-oriented and see opportunities where others see obstacles, which we also hope you do. Swedish authorization as well as a very good ability to communicate in Swedish, both spoken and written, is a requirement. We place great emphasis on personal qualities. A valid driver's license and good driving experience are required.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all applicants who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to everyone who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not primarily intended to include work with the aforementioned patient groups.
