Vacant job

We are a force that connects, holds together, and develops the region. Within Region Västernorrland, we are all part of something greater.

The Cardiology Department, which falls under the Cardiology and Clinical Physiology unit, is specialized in heart diseases with 24 care places and is a combined cardiac intensive care and cardiac care unit. Here, patients with heart diseases such as angina, heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmias, postoperative care, and other patients in need of cardiac monitoring are cared for. Most of our patients come through the emergency department, but also directly from ambulances or planned from home. We also provide consultative care for patients from other clinics who temporarily need cardiological care and accept patients from across the region with an acute and subacute need for coronary angiography/PCI.

We believe that Cardiology is an exciting, varied, and progressive specialty where we can offer good development opportunities.

Fortunately, we have been in an expansive period with many new colleagues complementing our wonderful workgroup! We are now looking for a few more to join our team and are therefore seeking 2 nurses for our team! The positions are permanent full-time employment with start date according to agreement. We apply weekend duty 2 out of 5 weekends and a working time model.
