Do you want a central role for our patients?

Do you want a central role for our patients and their relatives in a care that is constantly evolving? Where you have the opportunity to create continuity, participation, and security throughout the care journey. We offer a good working environment where we support each other and take joint responsibility for our patients. Cancer care is constantly evolving, and we see learning and development as a natural part of everyday life. We value your professional development and provide you with good opportunities to grow in your professional role.

Job Responsibilities

In the day care department, cancer treatment is provided to patients, where you as a nurse support both patients and relatives throughout the treatment period. Since care contacts vary, it is important to create safe and continuous nursing. You plan your own schedule and work in a team with other professionals.

The work includes advanced nursing and medical technical tasks, planned treatments, and follow-up of effects and side effects. You are responsible for information about medications, telephone counseling, and administration of chemotherapy and other antitumor drugs.

As a nurse, you build a safe and supportive relationship with the patient to create continuity and participation in the care contact. An important part of the care is to ensure information transfer and strengthen the patient's self-care. Cancer care is constantly evolving, with new treatment methods and medications for various tumor diseases being introduced, leading to increasingly curative treatments. Development is therefore a natural part of daily work to enhance our operations. Currently, two major development projects are underway with us. We have implemented and developed Cytodos, a program for ordering, manufacturing, and administering chemotherapy. We are also undergoing a major transformation with the transition to Close Care, where the aim is for the patient to receive treatment in their hometown.

About the Workplace

At the Oncology Clinic's day care department, you will be part of a team consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, and doctors. Your colleagues consist of a stable core with many years of experience in the various professions. You will work in an educational environment characterized by a pleasant work climate and freedom under responsibility.

We also have a PICC clinic, where some of our nurses are trained for the insertion of certain central venous access devices. The PICC clinic is primarily for the Oncology Clinic's patients, but we also accept patients from other clinics and hospitals in the region. The clinical trial unit, which focuses on studies based on medications and enables patient participation in their treatment, also belongs to the day care department.

We are part of the Oncology Clinic in Västerås and consist of a reception, radiation therapy department, inpatient department (department 80), day care department, and rehabilitation unit for cancer rehabilitation. About 130 employees work at the clinic. The care is based on a holistic view of the person and takes into account physical, psychological, social, and existential factors to tailor it to each patient.

For us, it is important that you feel good and enjoy your job, therefore we offer you

• tailored introductory program to make you feel secure in your professional role
• opportunities for professional development through, for example, internal training
• a workplace for different stages of life
