We are Akademiska Sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough challenges and fantastic moments, within a strong community of colleagues. We welcome your application!

Our Operations

Department 85B1 is part of the Neurological Department and works with acute stroke care for adult patients. Here, advanced emergency healthcare is combined with close nursing care, teamwork, and continuous development.

The department has 14 care beds distributed across two care teams. In addition, we work with the acute stroke flow through our "Save the Brain" team, where a nurse and a nursing assistant take care of patients arriving with suspected stroke directly from the emergency department.

As a nurse here, you will work closely with patients in the acute phase, providing monitoring, treatment, and nursing care that can make a significant difference in the patient's recovery and future.

We work in interprofessional teams together with nursing assistants, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dietitians, and administrative staff. Collaboration between different professional groups is an important part of our work and something many appreciate about us.

We also place great emphasis on work environment and development. Therefore, we have daily reflection sessions and continuously work on improving both working methods and the care environment. Furthermore, several development and research projects are ongoing at the department in collaboration with Uppsala University.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought employment, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care for substance abusers, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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