Make a difference. Every day.

The Neuro Intensive Care Unit (NIVA) in Lund provides highly specialized intensive care and is part of the Business Area (VO) Neurosurgery and Pain Rehabilitation. We have a regional mandate, meaning we serve the entire Southern Healthcare Region with highly specialized neuro-intensive care. NIVA has six intensive care beds where we primarily treat patients with severe head and/or spinal cord injuries. We are a high-tech intensive care unit driven by a desire to achieve medical results of the highest quality.

NIVA also includes an Intermediate Care Unit (IMA) with five beds, where we treat acute patients requiring intermediate care. The unit also functions as a step-down unit for our patients who no longer require intensive care. The care needs on the IMA can vary from advanced care to lighter monitoring. We also have a postoperative unit with four beds where we provide postoperative care for newly operated patients from our department. Newly operated children are also treated on this postoperative unit.

The Neurosurgical Department in Lund is one of six facilities in Sweden performing neurosurgery. We have 24/7 operations at our surgical department, and we also have a ward, day-care activities, and a clinic. Approximately 300 people work within the department, of whom 100 work at NIVA.

Job Description

We offer a stimulating and varied work environment with satisfying and challenging tasks. Working as an ICU nurse at NIVA means you will have a varied job with rapid changes. We work in a high-tech environment where, in addition to standard intensive care equipment, we use a wide range of neuromonitoring devices. The head or spine-injured patient is at the center of our focus, and several research projects are conducted at the unit to develop neuro-intensive care.

The department is staffed with a diverse range of competencies, which benefits our operations. When you start your employment with us, you will be offered an induction program tailored to your needs. If you are an ICU nurse with previous experience in intensive care, you will have a strong foundation when you join us. If you are a newly graduated ICU nurse, we offer a longer induction period, adapted to support you in your new professional role. You will also be assigned two supervisors to guide you through your first period.

At NIVA, we actively engage in knowledge-seeking and regularly offer lectures and training. We view knowledge development positively and allocate resources for responsibilities, projects, and studies at universities and colleges.

We have a popular point-based salary system where you can choose your own work schedule. We work in three shifts with a weekly working time of 36.33 hours. If you wish to schedule most of your working hours for night shifts, this is possible. The position is full-time, but part-time work is also an option.

Qualifications

We welcome you if you are a licensed nurse with the right to practice in Swedish healthcare. Additionally, you must have a specialist degree in intensive care nursing. Proficiency in Swedish at least at level C1 according to the Council of Europe's scale is a requirement. Experience in neurosurgical care is considered an asset.

To thrive in this role, it is important that you have good collaboration skills and promote good cooperation both internally and externally. The work requires you to be flexible, highly engaged, and possess strong communication skills. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We apply rolling selection for this recruitment. We warmly welcome your application today, and we look forward to getting to know you!
