Do you want to start the day with Ida's song? Become a part of pediatric surgery!

Do you want to work with highly specialized pediatric surgery where technology, precision, and care meet in every moment? Then you should apply to the pediatric surgery department in anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care (ANOPIVA) at one of the country's best hospitals, University Hospital in Linköping.

In our surgical department, we provide anesthesia and surgical services to various surgical specialties. Here, high-tech advanced surgical care and emergency management of trauma patients are conducted. ANOPIVA is Region Östergötland's largest clinic and provides surgical care across all surgical specialties except thoracic/vascular surgery. Our units perform both elective and emergency surgery with work scheduled around the clock.

Working in pediatric surgery is something truly special. Here, you meet our smallest patients and their families when they need us the most. As a surgical nurse with us, you combine high-tech surgery with safety, warmth, and precision.

We work in a team-based, highly specialized team with strong cohesion. We perform a range of surgical procedures in orthopedics, spinal surgery, plastic surgery, ENT, hand, and urology. With us, you help create safety for both children and parents, work in an environment where your skills truly make a difference, and where you become a key player in the surgical team in pediatric surgery at the hospital.

Children are not small adults – they require special skills, sensitivity, and genuine commitment. We are looking for someone who is confident, stable, and curious about the broad competencies of pediatric surgical nursing and who wants to help develop the future of pediatric surgical care.

Here you will have a job that is technically advanced, emotionally meaningful, and professionally developing. With us, we take care of each other and regularly work towards a common vision for our smallest patients in surgery. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is our guiding principle.

Our Offer

A varied and stimulating job where you, as a surgical nurse, play a significant role in collaboration with colleagues in the surgical team. Here, there is a pleasant workplace characterized by teamwork, engagement, curiosity, responsibility, and respect for the patient and each other.

We offer a personalized introduction, and you will also have the opportunity for rotation, regular internal and external training, as well as research. We also offer professional development, such as postgraduate training for surgical nurses.
