Summer Temporary Position as Nursing Assistant/Caregiver

The healthcare system in Region Östergötland is of high quality and we have high ambitions.

We want to improve care – every day, all year round. In an organization that encompasses everything from highly specialized hospitals to smaller clinics and health centers. Whether you work in a hospital or a health center, with somatic or psychiatric specialized care, you truly make a difference for both patients and their families.

Our Offer

A summer temporary position is an opportunity to broaden your experiences and knowledge while establishing valuable contacts for the future. Perhaps you find the right fit immediately, and when you do – you know it. You are the right person in the right place. And in healthcare, we need people like you.

Job Description

As a nursing assistant/caregiver, you are an important part of the care team and contribute to ensuring that daily life functions as best as possible for patients who need help, support, and care. You collaborate with several professionals and participate in treatments and examinations. The tasks vary depending on the workplace and organization, and to match you with the right position, you can specify your preferences regarding specialization in your application.

About You

To work as a nursing assistant/caregiver, you must be a trained nursing assistant. In somatic hospital care, it is, in most units, a requirement to have 200 credits in emergency care and a passed APL for that course. You can also be a nursing or medical student who is approved by the end of the third semester at the start of employment. To provide our patients with good and safe care, it is important that our employees can communicate in Swedish, both verbally and in writing.

Our expectations of you are that you do your best based on your knowledge and ability and always focus on what we are here for – our patients. You meet patients and their families with empathy and respect and enjoy working in a team where you contribute to good collaboration. You take responsibility in your work and follow routines, and you continue to develop as you settle into the role.
