Vacant job

We are a force that binds, holds together, and develops the county. Within Region Västernorrland, we are all part of something greater.

The Orthopedics Department is part of the regional somatic healthcare and provides both planned and emergency care focused on orthopedic injuries and diseases. This also includes the Orthopedic Technology Department. We work closely with patients in care teams consisting of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists.

In addition to direct patient care, we are all involved in developing and improving healthcare. Our goal is to always start from the patient's needs and preserve health. We plan an individual introduction to provide good conditions for the role.

In the role of Charge Nurse, you work to create good organizational and working environment conditions for employees together with unit managers. You will support and guide your colleagues in, among other things, nursing and treatment based on guidelines and regulatory documents. Increased understanding of patient flows contributes to efficient and safe patient care.

As a Charge Nurse, you will among other things work with:

• Coordinating, prioritizing, and leading the team's daily work.
• Creating structure and security by coordinating staffing.
• Introducing new employees to working methods, routines, and schedule planning.
• Leading reflection and promoting a good work environment and patient-safe care through an present and coaching leadership style.

• Contributing to high patient safety and supervising staff, for example in the event of deviations.
• Using in-depth knowledge of crisis and command post situations to support operations when needed.

As a Charge Nurse with us, you are one of two Charge Nurses who share the leadership responsibility Monday-Friday. During the weeks you do not have leadership responsibility, you are included in the rotation duty with three shifts and work every fourth weekend.

• Self-motivated.
• Personal morning (Note: "Personlig morgon" in original likely implies personal presence/initiative, translated contextually as self-motivated/personable, but kept literal structure where possible. In Swedish HR context "Personlig morgon" is unusual, likely means "Personlig" (Personal/Interpersonal) and "Morgon" might be a typo for "Mognad" (Maturity) or just part of a list. Given the list, I will translate as "Interpersonal skills" or keep it simple. Let's stick to "Interpersonal" or "Personal approach". Actually, looking at the list: Självgående, Samarbsförmåga, Strukturerad. "Personlig morgon" is very likely a typo for "Personlig mognad" (Personal maturity) or just "Personlig". I will translate as "Interpersonal skills" to be safe and professional).
• Collaborative.
• Structured.
