Business Area 3 is represented by Anesthesia/Operation, ICU/IMC/Post-op, and the Sterile Technology Unit, with hospital units in Lidköping, Skövde, and Falköping.

Description

In the autumn of 2026, a restart of the Intermediate Care Unit (IMC/IMA) is planned. The unit shares premises with Post-op 1, enabling close collaboration in daily work. Working in a new unit means both opportunities and development, and you will become a key part of shaping routines, working methods, and a strong team spirit. It is an exciting phase where your competence and commitment truly make a difference. We are therefore looking for you who want to take the next step in the development of IMC – which will be part of a cohesive unit together with ICU and Post-op. Here, you will work in modern facilities and in well-functioning teams.

Intermediate care is a care level with extended capabilities compared to a regular ward, while not offering the most advanced care, which intensive care (ICU) provides. By offering care to patients in a middle ground between regular ward care and intensive care, IMC can relieve both the intensive care unit and regular wards.

IMC is a specialist unit with 4 beds for sicker patients requiring increased monitoring, advanced treatment, and nursing. The unit is equipped with advanced medical technology for care in various conditions. We primarily treat adults and receive patients from all hospital clinics.

Job Description

As a new employee at IMC, you will be offered a thorough introduction to help you feel secure in your new workplace. Before the start, there is also an opportunity for extended advanced training in intensive care to create good conditions for employees to care for critically ill patients.

As a nursing assistant, you will work at the top of your competence and be offered an interesting job where you develop in your role and gradually take more responsibility for the advanced care of an intermediate care patient.

You are responsible for the patient's general nursing care and participate in medical work under the supervision of doctors and nurses in the care team. IMC operates 24/7, meaning shifts during the day, evening, and night.

Qualifications

You who apply have a relevant nursing assistant education with proof of a protected professional title, preferably with a focus on emergency care or specialist nursing assistant education in surgery, anesthesia, and intensive care. We would appreciate that you have experience working as a nursing assistant, and it is an advantage if you have previously worked on an inpatient ward.

Your personal qualities are significant, and we are looking for someone who is positive and committed. You must have good teamwork skills as we work in teams around the patient, as well as a good ability to handle stressful situations. We will place great emphasis on previous experience and personal suitability.

Do you want an exciting job as a nursing assistant in intermediate care and the opportunity to help shape a unit? Join us!
