Vacant job

Do you want to start your day with Ida's song? Join the pediatric surgery team!

Do you want to work with highly specialized pediatric surgery where technology, precision, and care meet in every step? Then you should apply for pediatric surgery at Anesthesia, Operating Room, and Intensive Care (ANOPIVA) at one of Sweden's best hospitals, the University Hospital in Linköping.

Our operating department offers anesthesia and operating services to various surgical specialties. Here, high-tech advanced surgical care and emergency treatment of trauma patients are provided. ANOPIVA is Region Östergötland's largest clinic and provides surgical care in all operating specialties except thoracic/vascular surgery. Our units perform both elective and emergency surgery, with operations running 24/7.

Working in pediatric surgery is something quite special. Here, you meet our youngest patients and their families when they need us the most. As an operating room nurse with us, you combine high-tech surgery with security, warmth, and precision.

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

Children are not small adults – they require specific competence, touch, and genuine commitment. We are looking for someone who is secure, stable, and curious about the broad competence of a pediatric operating room nurse, and who wants to help develop future 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 having a common vision for our youngest patients in surgery. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is our compass and guide.

Are you ready to take the next step in your career – and at the same time make a difference for life?
