Vacant job

Do you want a job where your skills actually make a difference – for real?

Then you might be our next Silvia Nurse/Dementia Nurse.

In Simrishamn Municipality, we are investing in future-oriented close care and in creating care for cognitive illness with high quality, a big heart, and the courage to think differently. We are now looking for you who want to drive development forward together with engaged colleagues within municipal primary care.

With us, you get a unique opportunity to make a real difference in people's everyday lives – while simultaneously helping to develop modern, person-centered, and sustainable care.

You will become an important knowledge resource in the organization and work closely with patients, relatives, staff, and collaboration partners. We like people who see opportunities instead of obstacles – and who dare to think a bit further ahead.

Here you get a role with both freedom, responsibility, and the opportunity to influence. This is not a desk job where the days look the same. Here you combine specialist competence, supervision, development work, and clinical work close to the operations.

The position is full-time, daytime Monday–Friday. It is distributed approximately 80% within the Silvia/Dementia assignment and approximately 20% clinical work in our operations within municipal primary care.
