Job Description

We are looking for nurses for the LAH unit in Motala. The work involves meeting seriously ill people and their relatives in a home environment.

The care is based on the cornerstones of palliative care: symptom relief, teamwork, support for relatives, as well as communication and relationships. Specific knowledge and competence are required here. In your role, you will work both in home healthcare and on the unit's palliative care ward, Ward 11.

Work Group

We work from a person-centered perspective and place great emphasis on teamwork where the competence of all professions is utilized, and where our combined competence and experience is the core of care design. The care is focused on relieving symptoms and providing psychological, existential, and social support. Within the LAH unit, medical-technical equipment is used, among other things, to administer medications in various ways.

Since you work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.
