We are looking for a licensed nurse with tasks divided between telephone counseling for our neurosurgical patients and the opportunity to be part of a specialized team and contribute to better quality of life for patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

Our Operations

In the neuroscience department, we provide highly specialized care for patients with diseases and injuries of the nervous system and eye diseases. We work with investigation and diagnostics as well as medical and surgical treatment of both acute conditions and chronic diseases of the nervous system and eyes. Our work is always based on the patient's needs with a systematic approach.

Your Mission

In the day care unit, patients stay for the day for various examinations, investigations, and medication treatments. Patients come here for minor surgical procedures or to prepare for a larger surgical intervention that requires admission to inpatient care. Patients also come here for lighter examinations, preparations for radiological examinations, medication treatments, suture removal, and wound checks. Both in neurosurgery and neurology, patients come to day care both acutely and planned from all seven regions in the healthcare region of Central Sweden.

The day care unit serves as a hub within the department and is an important part of the internal patient flows. Within the unit, there is also telephone counseling, 1177, and coordination of important functions, focusing on good quality and research-based practices.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is a licensed nurse with at least 2 years of experience in the profession and a genuine interest in neurosurgery and neurology. Previous experience in telephone counseling and neurosurgery/neurology is advantageous but not required. Personal suitability is highly valued.

Your Competence

You are curious, eager to learn new things, and have an interest in medical technology. You put the patient first and want to drive development and improvement work together with your colleagues.
