About the Job

Your duties at the health centre cover a wide area and include the general medical assignment where you meet patients of all ages and situations. You work health-promoting with counseling and treatment in primary care, both via phone, home visits, e-services, digital healthcare meetings, and at the clinic. You will be responsible for our direct line for the elderly a few days a week and collaborate with municipal primary care, social services, and inpatient care in SAMSA.

The work requires a high degree of flexibility as we may need to reschedule based on daily staffing. We also believe that you enjoy teamwork and that collaborating with colleagues and other contacts is second nature to you.

A professional working method and good treatment towards customers, patients, and colleagues is a matter of course for you. We also see that you live up to Närhälsan's core values: Reliable, Considerate, and Innovative.
