Our Operations

Obstetrics is a section within the Area of Operation: Women's Health. The section includes the delivery ward, the newborn unit (BB), and obstetric specialist clinics. Around 4,000 women give birth with us each year, and we provide active newborn care both at the hospital and at home.

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

Region Uppsala assigns all permanent staff for wartime duties 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 position may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and youth, or forced care for addicts, 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, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and ad sales representatives.
