Vacant job

K 4 in Arvidsjaur is a small regiment, which means close proximity to everything, both within the operations and among colleagues. K 4 trains, develops, and leads ranger units with qualified capabilities to operate deep within enemy formations in a subarctic environment. Defence Health (Försvarshälsan) provides health and medical care, including daily medical care for conscripts during basic training, occupational health services for employees, and support with medical readiness in the field. In short, our mission is to help the unit maintain its physical and mental "combat value" by working to ensure healthy conscripts and staff.

In Arvidsjaur, we are a team consisting of doctors, psychologists, nurses, physiotherapists, medical secretaries, and the operations manager. As a nurse with us, you will work both independently and as part of a team together with other professional categories.

K 4, as well as Defence Health, is growing – now we want to be more!

Main Responsibilities

Within the area of health and medical care/daily medical care for conscripts, the role involves maintaining a medical clinic for conscripts, identifying individuals who need follow-up, investigation, care/treatment, and/or rehabilitation for medical conditions, injuries, and illnesses related to service. You are often the one making the initial medical assessment before the patient is referred to another profession or level of care.

Your daily work also includes, as part of the occupational health service mandate, work with vaccinations, health examinations, and statutory medical checks in working life, as well as mapping and educational initiatives.

The nurse is important in maintaining sharp medical care and increased medical readiness in connection with the regiment's training activities. This means that the work is sometimes conducted in the field, so physical activity/exercise is also a job duty.
