Make a difference. Every day.

Do you have a natural empathetic approach and a genuine commitment to the well-being of patients? Do you thrive in a work environment where collaboration, participation, and a good climate are highly valued? Then you could be our new colleague! You will have the opportunity to work with the patient at the center in their own home environment and be part of a competent, warm, and close-knit team. Together, we create security, relief, and quality of life in one of life's most vulnerable phases.

The organization is part of Close Care and Health, Mobile Teams, and Specialized Palliative Care in southwestern Skåne. ASIH offers specialized palliative care and other advanced medical care at home, to patients of all ages residing in Malmö's catchment area. Care is provided in patients' own homes or in special accommodations. The patient's needs dictate visits, and we perform medical and nursing assessments and interventions. We work independently but are part of interdisciplinary teams consisting of doctors, nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nursing assistants, dietitians, and medical secretaries. We have our own on-call line, and the team's doctors are available around the clock.

ASIH has full medical responsibility for enrolled patients and works with holistic, person-centered care, which is a prerequisite for providing dignified care at the end of life. ASIH provides specialized care but collaborates with home care when needed and home service for basic nursing.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The patients enrolled in the organization require specialized palliative care, which means they have a complex symptom profile or their life situation entails special needs.

After planned patient visits, afternoons are used for documentation, reflection rounds, team supervision, individual reflection, and development work. Additionally, there is a handover to those working the evening shift and planning for the next day. Those working the evening shift then have a number of planned patient visits and are responsible for any urgent visits. ASIH's phone is open around the clock, and we constantly make assessments and any visits to patients who need it. In addition to the daily work, as a nurse, you will have admission conversations with doctors, be involved in assessments for potential admissions, and continuously work with support for relatives and survivors. We work day, evening, and night shifts.

As a new nurse with us, you will receive at least four weeks of shadowing; we follow an introduction program developed in the unit, and after completing the shadowing, you will have mentorship where you receive support from a specialist nurse in palliative care, based on your needs. We value development work and continuing education for both new hires and experienced staff. ASIH has a close collaboration with the palliative care department, which has 12 beds for inpatient care. Additionally, we collaborate with the hospital and various clinics.

At night, there are two nurses on duty. The shift begins with a report from the evening staff. After that, any planned patient visits and urgent visits are carried out. The night nurses are responsible for preparing materials and medications for the next day's home visits. The shift ends with a report to the ongoing staff. Night shifts are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM.

Does this sound exciting? Come and shadow us and see how we translate theory into practice and provide high-quality, person-centered care daily.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare, preferably with a few years of professional experience. Language skills in Swedish at least at level C1 according to the European Council's level scale are required. Since the organization consists of care places in the patient's own home or in special accommodations, a valid B driver's license for a manual transmission vehicle is required for the position. We would like you to have specialist training in oncology and/or palliative care.

You who apply are secure in your professional role and have the patient in focus, which means you have the ability to see the patient as an individual and their needs. Part of the work involves support and conversations, so it is important that you are communicative and have the ability to meet people on different levels. Furthermore, you have a flexible approach and can prioritize between different tasks when the work pace is high. To thrive with us, you can work independently and make your own decisions. We see that you are willing to share your knowledge and cheerful demeanor to create a good work climate. We value a positive attitude and a willingness to be involved in our development work. As you will become an important employee in our organization, we place great emphasis on good collaboration skills and personal suitability.

In this recruitment, we apply continuous selection. We warmly welcome your application today!
