About the Job

The duties for this position include work at both Backa Health Centre and the Child Health Centre (BVC).

The work covers a broad field and includes the area of general medicine where you meet patients of all ages and situations. You work in a health-promoting, advisory, and treatment capacity – both via phone, chat, digital healthcare meetings, home visits, and at the clinic. The work takes place in close, cross-professional teams where you collaborate closely with doctors, nurse assistants, psychologists, rehabilitation staff, and other professional groups. Together, you plan and prioritize work based on patients' needs and the organization's goals.

Your duties at the Child Health Centre are varied, where you follow children with guardians from newborn until school health care takes over. You play a central role in meeting families' needs as well as making medical and nursing assessments and prioritizations. You will work with health checks, vaccinations, and parent groups. The patient group is children aged 0–6 years with their families. Collaboration takes place in cross-professional teams at the Child Health Centre, and we have very good and active family-centered cooperation with preventive social workers, preschools, and the Mother and Child Health Centre (BMM).

We see supervising students as a natural and important part of the assignment – we shape tomorrow's colleagues together.

About You

We are looking for you who:

• Are independent, meticulous, and confident in your professional role
• Enjoy teamwork and see the value in contributing to the whole
• Are structured, proactive, and solution-oriented

It is an advantage if you have experience from primary care as well as work with children and young people. Supervisor training (7.5 credits) is also an advantage.
