About Us

The surgical department in Skövde is the largest department in the hospital, has the most emergency places, and primarily provides emergency care. The work is varied, and as a complement to the acute flow, we also have some planned care.

We care for patients with diseases of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract as well as surgical diseases such as malignant melanoma, breast cancer, and endocrine diseases. Patients with burns, head injuries, and fall trauma also come here. We also have a portion of patients who come in with what is called open return, meaning that patients with a cancer diagnosis can avoid seeking care through the emergency department.

For us, it is important to work on development and continuous improvements - all to be able to offer the best care for our patients, as well as a stimulating work environment for our employees.

As an assistant nurse with us, you will work together with a nurse in a team, close to the patient, and perform common assistant nurse tasks on the care ward. Read a more detailed description of working in the surgical department in Skövde HERE (#).

We Are Looking For

More creative, kind-hearted, skilled, and caring employees who enjoy working in an educational and inspiring environment alongside incredibly competent colleagues. Well-being and camaraderie with colleagues are essential for having satisfied employees. This also leads to even better and safer care for patients. We want you to feel that you make a difference every day.

We are looking for someone who is a trained assistant nurse, preferably with experience in surgical care, or alternatively other relevant assistant nurse experience as assessed by the employer.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
