Our Operations

Endocrine Oncology is a department within the Department of Blood and Tumor Diseases located in the 100-house. The department currently has 17 care beds on weekdays and 12 beds on weekends. Here, you will have a varied job where you combine nursing care with some acute care that may arise in connection with treatments. The department collaborates closely with other departments/clinics within our area of operation.

Some of the most common oncological endocrinological diagnoses are neuroendocrine tumors (NET), neuroendocrine cancer (NEC), and thyroid cancer. These are treated with targeted radiotherapy and/or cytostatics/immunotherapy. The most common oncological diagnosis at our department is lymphoma, where our specialty is CAR-T treatment, a therapy where the patient's own T-cells are genetically modified to attack the cancer. We strive for continuous development and are part of highly specialized cancer care. Here, you will work with medical technology, including central and peripheral access lines, cytostatics, and immunotherapies. You will work in an environment with a high nurse-to-patient ratio, experienced doctors, and nursing assistants. We work together as a team.

Your Role

You will work together in a care team with a nursing assistant, where you are responsible for patient care. It is an exciting job where you will meet people at many different stages of their illness. We primarily work with investigation and treatment. Investigating a patient involves largely taking anamnesis, clinical assessment, sample collection, and preparations for examinations. We handle central access lines and insert many peripheral access lines. We have many patients coming from other parts of Sweden as well as Europe. Our treatment patients come regularly for infusion treatments such as cytostatics/immunotherapy, and as a nurse, the focus is on monitoring and medical technology. Specifically for 100A, we also provide various forms of targeted radiotherapy and advanced oncological treatment with CAR-T. You will also become part of a skilled team that supports and helps each other, while you work independently.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed nurse. You can be completely new to the profession or have worked as a nurse for a longer period.

Your Competencies

Here, we value a positive work climate where all employees thrive and feel secure. We always put the patient first and see the big picture. Is good cohesion and an open atmosphere important to you? Do you want to have fun at work? Are you looking for challenges? Then we are the right place for you!

We appreciate that you work according to a clear process, organize and plan your work well, complete what has been started, and meet deadlines. That you keep up to date within your profession and area of expertise, monitor the external environment, and spot trends. That you take active initiative in social contexts, step forward, are good at building new relationships, and quickly find solutions to emerging problems.

What We Offer

• 4 to 5 weeks of introduction with an experienced nurse and regular check-ins with a supervisor/manager

Region Uppsala assigns all permanent staff for war service 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 making a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all applicants who, in the sought position, may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care for addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales representatives.
