At the Department of Anesthesia, Surgery and Intensive Care, we care for patients and families facing a pivotal moment. For some, we are the last hope. For others, we create an opportunity for a better life. Whether you work in the sterile processing department, in one of our mobile units, on the intensive care unit, or in the operating room, you play a crucial role in critical moments. We invite you to apply to become part of our team.

Our Department

Do you want to work in a highly specialized pediatric department where teamwork, quality, and care are at the center?

On the Pediatric Anesthesia and Surgery Department, we care for children and adolescents aged 0–16 undergoing surgery. Our patients range from premature infants to teenagers. We perform procedures including urology, orthopedics, hand surgery, general surgery, and neonatal surgery.

Every interaction matters here. We work with a family-centered approach and place great emphasis on security—for both the child and their loved ones—throughout the entire care chain, from admission to discharge.

Your Role

As an Operating Room Nurse, you are a key person in the operating room and part of the team standing by the children's side throughout the procedure. The work is varied, ranging from complex surgeries to smaller planned interventions, always with the child's best interests and safety in focus.

You will work within several surgical areas in a department where the pace can vary; our operating schedule is continuously adapted to acute needs. Here, you also have the opportunity to follow children over time, for example, in oncological surgery.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with specialist education in perioperative nursing. Experience in pediatric care is meritorious but not a requirement.

What We Offer

• Permanent full-time position
• Daytime hours (Monday–Friday) with on-call duties every 6–8th weekend
• From September: a work schedule model of 37 hours/week
• Individualized introduction

Here, you will meet a close and family-like work environment where collaboration and well-being are in focus. We offer great opportunities for professional development as well as access to both national and international networks. With flexible working hours and wellness benefits, we create good conditions for balance between work and private life.

We value your professional development and want you to grow and thrive throughout your career.
