Operating Room Nurse in Orthopedics

Are you interested in working with acute and planned orthopedic surgery in a highly specialized and development-driven environment? Then you should apply to the orthopedic section at Anesthesia, Surgery, and Intensive Care (ANOPIVA) at one of the country's best hospitals, the University Hospital in Linköping.

In our operating department, we offer anesthesia and surgical services to various surgical specialties. Here, high-tech advanced surgical care and acute management of trauma patients are provided. ANOPIVA is the largest clinic in Region Östergötland and provides surgical care within all surgical specialties excluding thoracic/vascular surgery. Our units perform both elective and emergency surgeries with work scheduled around the clock.

With us, you will work in a dynamic operating environment where acute and planned orthopedic surgery is performed. The focus is on trauma orthopedics, but plastic surgery and hand surgery are also performed in the same section. The University Hospital in Linköping is a national center for highly specialized burn care, which means that as an operating room nurse, you will also participate in burn surgeries.

We work with complex fractures, advanced osteosynthesis, flap surgery, and microsurgery, sometimes collaborating in multiple teams, creating a stimulating work environment where cooperation, structure, and communication are central. The work is varied with shorter and less complex procedures, providing variety in the job.

With us, you have the opportunity to contribute to development and improvement work and to drive quality issues forward. There is also the possibility to join research teams and participate in clinical studies, giving you the chance to contribute to the future of perioperative care.

Do you have a strong interest in orthopedics and want to work with trauma, advanced fracture surgery, and burn care? Then we are the right workplace for you!

Our Offer

A varied and stimulating job where you as an operating room nurse have a significant role in collaboration with colleagues in the surgical team.

We offer a tailored introduction, and you will also have the opportunity for rotation, regular internal and external training, and research. We also offer professional development, such as postgraduate training for operating room nurses and an AO trauma course in orthopedics.
