Vacant job

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

About the Department

The Infectious Diseases Clinic is located in Sundsvall and has a county-wide responsibility for infectious disease care throughout Västernorrland County. We receive approximately 6,800 patients every year.

We work with patient-centered care, which means the patient is at the center of focus and more involved in their treatment. Today, we have 12 care beds divided into two care teams consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, dietitians, and occupational therapists. On the ward, we have only single rooms and isolation wards with anteroom systems. Temporarily, we share the ward with the lung clinic during their renovation, hence the double-occupancy rooms.

We are now looking for nurses for night shifts to join our wonderful team. The position is a permanent, full-time employment with a start date to be agreed upon.

We offer a wide variety of care, which makes for an interesting and developing work environment. The Infectious Diseases Clinic is an exciting department that uniquely offers the opportunity to broaden your competence, as all patient categories (medicine, surgery, orthopedics, and sometimes pediatrics) are treated here. We provide continuous training in infectious disease care regarding various infectious diseases. Additionally, we have a specialist nurse available most weekdays to provide support in daily work.

Working hours are scheduled for evenings/nights, and with us, you work 2 out of 5 weekends or every other weekend, depending on your preference.

We offer individualized onboarding and mentorship, meaning the onboarding is adapted to you as a person, and you can be assigned a mentor after onboarding if you wish.
