Vacant job

Healthcare in Region Östergötland is of high quality and we have high ambitions. We want to improve healthcare – every day, all year round. In an operation that ranges from highly specialized hospitals to smaller clinics and health centers. Whether you work at a hospital or a health center, in somatic or psychiatric specialist care, you really make a difference for both patients and their relatives.

Our Offer

A summer temporary position is an opportunity to broaden your experience and knowledge while establishing valuable contacts for the future. Perhaps you will find the right fit immediately, and when you do – you will know. You are the right person in the right place. And in healthcare, we need people like you.

Job Description

As a nurse assistant/care assistant, you are an important part of the care team and contribute to making daily life work as well as possible for patients who need help, support, and care. You collaborate with several professions and participate in treatments and examinations. Tasks vary depending on the workplace and operation, and to enable us to match you with the right position, you can state your preferences regarding specialization in your application.

About You

To work as a nurse assistant/care assistant, you must be a qualified nurse assistant. In somatic hospital care, it is, on most units, a requirement to have 200 credits in emergency care and a passed practical training (APL) for that course. You can also be a nursing or medical student who, at the start of employment, has passed the 3rd term. To ensure we can offer our patients good and safe care, it is important that our employees can communicate in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

Our expectations of you are that you do your best based on your knowledge and ability and always keep the focus on what we exist for – our patients. You treat patients and relatives with empathy and respect and enjoy working in a team where you contribute to good collaboration. You take responsibility in your work, follow routines, and continue to develop as you settle into the role.
