Our Operations

The specialized palliative care at Akademiska sjukhuset is conducted at the Palliative Center, which consists of the Specialized Palliative Care Unit (SPVA), the Specialized Home Care Unit (ASH), the Palliative Consultation Team (PKT), and the Palliative Outpatient Clinic. At the Palliative Center's units, patients with various diagnoses and ages are cared for, including sometimes children in need of specialized palliative care in their own homes or in special accommodations.

The Palliative Center is currently at the beginning of an exciting development journey, with the ambition to strengthen both the operations and palliative care in general. We are now looking for driven employees who want to be part of the joint effort to strengthen, develop, and broaden palliative care within our region.

Your Mission

Initially, you will start your employment at either ASH or SPVA. The plan is for you to then begin your rotation to the other unit. You will work in a multidisciplinary team with severely ill patients in the inpatient care unit (SPVA) and in the home (ASH). You will primarily be responsible for specific nursing care and specialized interventions, such as advanced symptom relief with e.g., infusions, injections, medication pumps, spinal pain relief, various drains, and support for relatives.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed nurse, preferably with at least one year of experience. It is advantageous if you have further education in palliative care or experience in palliative care, but it is not a requirement. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. A B driver's license is required.

Your Competence

You are structured and communicative. Furthermore, we see that you are stress-resistant and enjoy working in a team. We see that you have good collaboration skills, are independent, flexible, and work with quality awareness.

We Offer

Permanent employment between 75–100%. Day/evening/night/weekend. Individual onboarding and mentorship upon request. Group supervision every month. A 6-month probationary period may apply.

With us, you will receive benefits that make a difference; read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/jobba-hos-oss/bli-var-nya-kollega/formaner/).

Region Uppsala values the qualities that gender balance and diversity bring to the organization and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a hiring decision, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted regarding all applicants who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to everyone who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not primarily intended to include work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts, and we kindly ask recruitment companies and advertisement sellers to refrain from calling.
