Vacant job

On the ward, you will meet patients of various ages being treated for medical and surgical eye conditions. We offer stimulating work within basic and highly specialized eye surgery, in close collaboration with the clinic's other units.

The ward consists of 12 beds and is open 24/7. Here, we care for both acute and elective patients scheduled for surgery. During evenings, nights, and weekends, we operate an acute reception unit and provide a counseling hotline on Ward 49. You will learn to work with technical equipment used in eye care, as well as perform vision tests and similar tasks. The ward has a high patient turnover, with an average length of stay of two days, as most patients come from other parts of the country.

This is a one-year temporary position with the possibility of extension. The role is full-time with scheduled working hours, including every third weekend.

We are looking for a nurse who is engaged, flexible, and sees change as an opportunity. You enjoy new, exciting challenges and want to contribute your knowledge and skills. You thrive working independently and have an interest in technical equipment. We value empathy, teamwork, and flexibility as key personal qualities.

Interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis, so do not wait to submit your application.

Your application should include a CV and a cover letter. Certificates, grades, diplomas, and similar documents should be provided at a potential interview.
