About the Unit

The Fourth Naval Warfare Flotilla is a task force in the Swedish Navy. The flotilla has the capability to control maritime areas, shipping routes, and maritime traffic, conduct operations against surface, air, and underwater targets, as well as clear mines in harbor areas, coastal waters, and open sea. Operations are conducted nationally and internationally. The Swedish Armed Forces have a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility.

Job Responsibilities

As a ship's nurse in the Swedish Armed Forces, you hold the highest medical competence on board. This means that you will take care of the sick and injured and perform triage during larger outbreaks of illness/injury on your own ship or at a unit that your ship has been ordered to support. You will participate in work at the scene of an incident as well as be able to accompany patients during medical evacuations. As a nurse on the ship, you also have the task of working preventively, early intervention to curb outbreaks of illness, and alleviating and managing minor ailments directly on board. This allows the ship to maintain a high personnel combat value, which positively contributes to the resolution of the mission. A large part of the work involves educating and developing the medical skills of other crew members. You are expected to participate in other ship duties, and a strong focus will be on integrating you as a crew member. The position includes physical training during working hours.
