Are you interested in pediatric and emergency care? Are you looking for your next challenge where you can develop both professionally and personally? Then you should not hesitate to apply to us at the Pediatric Emergency Department in Lund!

Within the area of pediatric medicine at Skåne University Hospital (Sus), we provide care for children and adolescents in both Lund and Malmö, with outpatient clinics and inpatient wards as well as emergency departments at both locations. We work according to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Nordic Association for Sick Children's Needs (NOBAB) standards.

At the Pediatric Emergency Department in Lund, we meet children who come in acutely with illnesses or as a result of accidents. We receive children within specialized medicine up to 18 years old and children with surgical conditions up to 15 years old. During on-call hours, we also receive children with issues from the ear, nose, and throat region. We have a unit manager nurse who works during the day and is available as an experienced support for new hires as well as for those who already work with us. We also have two pediatric nurse specialists and a pediatric nurse who work 50 percent in care and 50 percent in mentorship and introduction, as well as development of our unit.

If you are curious about our operations, you are warmly welcome to shadow our department!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We welcome a driven and committed nurse/pediatric nurse who wants to help develop emergency care for children with us.

In your role as a nurse/pediatric nurse in the Pediatric Emergency Department, your responsibilities will include the care and treatment of acutely ill children. With us, you will encounter a varied and stimulating work environment that requires flexibility and collaboration.

We have an eight-week introduction period, but your introduction is individual and will be tailored according to your previous experiences. Progression occurs gradually to increased responsibilities within triage, ambulance reception, emergency room, treatments, and care of the sick child and their relatives. The introduction also includes training in patient-related analyses, basic pediatrics, emergency exercises, medical technology, and our triage tool RETTS. As a newly hired nurse or pediatric nurse, you will always have the support of an experienced colleague. You will also receive a mentor who has extensive experience working in pediatric and emergency care during your introduction period and thereafter, depending on your wishes and needs.

We offer a scheduling model with quota agreements, which means you work 38.25 hours a week and are employed in a combined day and night shift, where you work two weekends every five weeks.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse and/or a nurse with specialized training in pediatric or emergency care with the authority to work within Swedish healthcare. Language skills in Swedish at least equivalent to level C1 according to the Council of Europe’s scale are a requirement. We prefer that you have experience working in pediatric care, but the most important thing is that you have an interest in pediatric care.

Your positive attitude contributes to a good work climate, and as a person, you are secure in your professional role and easily adaptable to the changing circumstances that working in an emergency department entails. You feel confident in your priorities and always keep the patient in focus, even when the pace is sometimes high. Since we work closely in teams, good collaboration skills, a high sense of service, and a genuine interest in children and their families are important. We value that you as a person are engaged and flexible, as well as very meticulous and resilient in your work. Since we are keen to find the right person for our workgroup, we place great importance on personal suitability. Therefore, we see that you always strive for good collaboration and meet colleagues and families based on Region Skåne's values.
