Vacant job

Do you want to brighten up everyday life and improve the quality of life for the people of Linköping? With us, you can make a significant difference and contribute to making Linköping a better place. Welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

Do you want to work close to the patient, utilize your full competence, and help develop the municipal healthcare of the future? With us, you will have a role where your medical assessment truly makes a difference every day and contributes to increased quality of life.

As a nurse in short-term care, you are responsible for 8–10 patients with complex needs. You continuously plan, assess, implement, and follow up on healthcare interventions, with the opportunity to make your own prioritizations and decisions. You work with patients who often have a complex medical condition and are in a transitional phase between hospital and home.

Your duties include, among other things:

• making medical assessments and initiating measures
• coordinating care efforts and participating in care planning (SIP)
• performing and following up on medical orders
• supervising and delegating to nursing staff
• documenting according to current laws and guidelines
• admitting and discharging patients

Your Workplace

You will be employed by the HSL unit within short-term care and will be placed at Garnisonens short-term housing, Åleryd short-term housing, or Kärna Care Village. In early 2027, all short-term care will be co-located at Åleryd Care Village, with the goal of creating a more cohesive operation, stronger collaboration, increased continuity, and the opportunity to develop specialized expertise in short-term care.

At each facility, you work in a multidisciplinary team together with the operations manager, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and specialist nurse assistant. You also collaborate with doctors, relatives, and other healthcare staff. A pharmacist is attached to the operation, which strengthens patient safety and working methods regarding medication management.

The operation is part of KUNO (Municipal Education Department in Close Care and Support) in collaboration with Linköping University. Clinical teaching methods are developed directly at the facility here, which strengthens competence supply and reduces the need for external training. Simultaneously, Clinicum, the university's simulation environment, is being developed with realistic scenarios that will be implemented in 2026 to strengthen learning and security in the role.

You who apply

We are looking for you who are a registered nurse and have experience in the profession. You have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, and are accustomed to working in documentation and journal systems. You need to be able to cycle, and it is meritorious if you have a B driver's license.

It is meritorious if you have experience of municipal healthcare or work within elderly care.

To thrive and function in the role, you need to be secure in your profession and able to make your own medical assessments and prioritizations. You work in a structured manner, have good judgment, and collaborate well with other professional groups. You communicate clearly with colleagues, patients, and relatives.

The role also involves supervising and delegating, which places demands on pedagogical skills and clear leadership in everyday life.

Since the operation is in development, we see that you are flexible and have an interest in contributing to change and improvement of working methods.
