About the Role

1 position available.

Do you want to make a real difference for people living with cognitive illness and their relatives? We are now looking for an engaged and knowledgeable Dementia Nurse who wants to help develop future person-centered care and support within our operations.

Here, you will have a key role in working to strengthen quality of life, security, and self-determination for people with dementia. You will become an important knowledge bearer in the organization, working both patient-facing, consultatively, and with a focus on development.

Your Responsibilities

As a Dementia Nurse, you work independently and in close collaboration with nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, needs assessors, care staff, doctors, and external care providers.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting early detection of cognitive impairment and contributing to basic dementia assessments.
• Providing support and counseling to people with cognitive illness and their relatives.

• Leading and developing teamwork regarding people with cognitive illness.
• Contributing to coordination between the municipality, primary care, specialist care, and social services.
• Driving quality and improvement work within the area of cognitive diseases.
• Promoting equitable, safe, and evidence-based care.

This aligns well with the national competency description, where the specialist nurse's role includes leading the nursing process, mentoring teams, working preventively, and ensuring person-centered care.

You have:

• Good knowledge of cognitive illnesses and their consequences.
• Experience in municipal care and support, preferably in elderly care.
• Experience in mentoring and educating colleagues.
• Ability to work independently, consultatively, and in teams.
• A person-centered approach.
• Interest in operational development and improvement work.
• Good communicative and pedagogical skills.

As a person, you are secure, sensitive, and solution-oriented. You see the whole picture around the individual and have an easy time building trusting relationships.
