We work patient-centered in teams with a high pace of work, and everyone is very keen on helping each other when needed. We have a pleasant work climate, and both employees and patients enjoy being on our ward. We have just over 40 employees on the ward, including nurses, assistant nurses, and administrative staff.

We have good cooperation between the units and work to provide care that is as efficient and safe as possible for our patients.

Do you want to work with us?

Welcome to submit your application via the link below. We recruit continuously during the application period.

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 mobilizes all permanently employed personnel based on the needs of the total defense. This means 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 of children and youth, or involuntary care of 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 contain 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 ad sales.
