Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want to work with person-centered care in a close-knit team? Then you might be the one we are looking for! We are in an exciting development phase where we are thinking innovatively to meet a growing need for care. We are now expanding our team with a nurse and have the opportunity to welcome you with a genuine interest in palliative care.

Palliative care and Advanced Home Care (ASIH) in Trelleborg are organizationally part of the management Near Care and Health, area of mobile teams and specialized palliative care in southwestern Skåne. We offer specialized palliative care aimed at alleviating symptoms and preventing suffering in connection with incurable or chronic illness, regardless of the person's age or diagnosis. Care can be provided as inpatient care in the Palliative Care Department, within advanced home care (ASIH), or through a palliative specialist clinic. The care is specialized based on each individual patient's needs.

The operation in Trelleborg is a unit consisting of teams with nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, physiotherapists, dietitians, doctors, and medical secretaries. We are constantly working to develop and strengthen teamwork to create an attractive workplace. Each employee contributes with their specific competencies where our joint efforts make a significant difference for patients and their relatives. ASIH, the Palliative Care Department, and the specialist clinic collaborate closely with each other. ASIH has 17 places within our catchment area of Trelleborg, Svedala, and Vellinge municipalities, and the department has six inpatient care places in Trelleborg.

We offer patients and relatives care around the clock, which means that the position partially involves working at inconvenient times.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We offer you a developing and exciting job where you become part of a transdisciplinary team. You actively participate in planning around the patient's care together with other professionals and in collaboration with other care providers.

Working within specialized palliative care in Trelleborg means working person-centered and contributing to creating security in difficult life situations for all our patients and their relatives. You meet patients in their homes, listen in, and work based on the conditions that exist, focusing on their goals.

The work involves performing assessments and care from a holistic perspective. Patients enrolled in ASIH have a need for specialized palliative care, which means they often have a complex symptom profile or that their life situation entails special needs. We daily manage everything from medical tasks such as giving injections, connecting infusions and medication pumps, placing catheters, and performing drainages to having supportive conversations with patients or relatives and being a support in contact with authorities. We also have a mission to provide supportive cancer care at home, which is given in the form of targeted interventions.

If you are interested in learning and developing, both as a nurse and as a human being, you will thrive in our team!

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare. Language skills in Swedish at least corresponding to level C1 according to the Council of Europe’s scale are a requirement. Since the position involves caring for patients in their homes, a valid B driver's license for a manual transmission car is also a requirement. We would like you to have several years of professional experience as a nurse, and if you have specialist training in oncology, palliative care, or pediatrics, it is an advantage.

To thrive with us, you are secure in your professional role and work with the patient in focus, which means you have the ability to see the patient and their individual needs. A large part of the work involves support and conversations, so you need to be communicative and able to meet people on different levels. You have a flexible approach and the ability to prioritize between different tasks. Being able to work independently and make your own decisions is important, while you also value teamwork. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
