Department of Anesthesia, Surgery and Intensive Care

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough trials and fantastic events, within a strong community with your colleagues. See parts of our reality in our photo exhibition; akademiskafotoutstallning.se (https://akademiskafotoutstallning.se). We look forward to receiving your application!

Our Operations

Here on the postoperative ward 70H, you will become part of a department that provides highly specialized postoperative nursing care for patients who have undergone surgeries within ear, nose, throat, plastic surgery, jaw, and orthopedics. Both children and adults with varying diagnoses and care needs are operated on here. Our scope ranges from shorter procedures where patients require less postoperative care, to major advanced surgery requiring complex postoperative management. Do you want to become part of our friendly team? We warmly welcome you to apply!

Your Role

Do you enjoy varied surgical and acute activities, while also valuing a pleasant workplace with reasonable working hours? With us, you can have both. As a nurse on our ward, you will have a diverse job where you care for patients needing different types of postoperative care. Since we not only run planned operations but also handle acute cases, you will have the opportunity to challenge yourself in your role and broaden your competence. Our ward is open Monday - Thursday 8:00-18:00, Friday 8:00-16:00, and is closed on weekends and public holidays.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. If you have previous experience in intermediate care and postoperative care, we consider this a merit.

Your Competencies

We are looking for you who adapt easily to changing circumstances and see opportunities in change. You remain calm and controlled under stress or in pressured situations, focusing on what matters. You plan, organize, and prioritize work effectively. You have the interest, willingness, and ability to help others and strive to deliver solutions. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

What We Offer

We offer a permanent position with start date and working hours to be agreed upon. A probationary period of up to 6 months may apply. Working hours are Monday-Friday, daytime. As a new employee, you are offered individually adapted orientation and good opportunities for development.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before making a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and youth, or compulsory care for addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales representatives.
