Our Operations

AVA is one of Akademiska Sjukhuset's largest wards with 30 beds. Here, you will become part of a tight-knit team consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, pharmacists, and other vital health professionals, all dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care.

The department always strives to maintain high medical competence and a high standard of nursing care. At AVA, there are specialist functions such as an education nurse and a discharge nurse, which provide you as an employee with optimal conditions to perform your duties with high quality. Our success is built on our collective experience and the diversity of ideas and solutions, and we prioritize our employees' working environment.

At AVA, we primarily care for patients with internal medicine diagnoses. Patients come to us with chest pain, heart arrhythmias, heart failure, infections, poisoning, diabetes, pulmonary embolisms, and venous thromboses. Many of our patients are multi-morbid and require significant care efforts. The length of stay is relatively short, which means a high influx and outflow of patients that must be planned and coordinated. This high flow places high demands on flexibility, initiative, and decisiveness.

We value that you, as a nurse, get the opportunity to be challenged and develop in your role; therefore, we invest in continuous education and individual competence development. We strive to create an present and coaching leadership with the goal that you feel secure, welcome, and comfortable in your new working environment. With us, you are offered a comprehensive introduction, clinical supervision, and regular follow-ups with your nearest manager. This enables you to get into the work quickly while your manager can support you in your development. Additionally, regular study days are included for all employees throughout the year. We also offer internal training such as telemetry training and arterial blood gas training, which gives you time and space to deepen your knowledge and competencies.

As a nurse with us at AVA, you work with specific nursing care and treatment of the acutely ill patient. We work in teams consisting of a nurse and a nursing assistant, always in close collaboration with doctors and other vital professions. Together, we take responsibility for the acute care of the patient.

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. We are looking for both you who are newly graduated with an interest in internal medicine care and you who are an experienced nurse, preferably with a background in emergency care or equivalent. Previous experience with telemetry monitoring is also meritorious. We would prefer that you are a specialist nurse in emergency care or intensive care.

• are goal-oriented, positive, flexible, confident in your role, and enjoy challenges

• are accommodating, enjoy working in a team, and want to continuously improve and develop care for the patients on the ward
• put the patient in focus, are responsible, and motivated in your work

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 means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before decisions 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 of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by facultative record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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