Vacant job

Academic Children's Hospital

Small hearts need great care! We are a small hospital within a large one, and it is precisely in the small details that our greatness lies. Here, all the competence a sick child might need is available, along with good collaboration, respect, and care. We offer an excellent introduction for new staff and many interesting opportunities for development. There is also unexpectedly much joy here, even in situations that can be very difficult. We take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know we do a much better job together!

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

Region Uppsala places all permanently employed staff in a wartime reserve based on the needs of the total defense. This entails no obligations for the individual employee during peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Prior to an employment decision, a check of the suspicion and criminal record registers will be conducted for all job seekers who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and adolescents, or compulsory care for substance abusers in the sought position. These areas are covered by optional register extracts. This applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the current tasks are not intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is carried out entirely by Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertisement salespeople.
