Department: Anesthesia, Surgery, and Intensive Care

At the Department of Anesthesia, Surgery, and Intensive Care, we care for patients and families facing pivotal moments. For some, we are the last hope; for others, we create opportunities for a better life. Whether you work in the sterile processing department, in our flying surgical teams, 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 Operations

We are looking for you who want to make a difference for children in need of anesthesia and surgical care. The work is varied, and the pace changes. On our pediatric anesthesia and surgery departments, we care for children and adolescents aged 0–16. It is important to us that both children and accompanying relatives feel well cared for and safe.

The operations are diverse and broad, offering great opportunities for professional development. Our specialties include urology, upper gastrointestinal surgery, orthopedics, hand surgery, and neonatal surgery. We also receive children from oncology, covering surgery and treatments from diagnosis to completed treatment. We are a team that enjoys working together, with the child's best interests always at the center. This is a prerequisite for safely caring for everyone from extremely premature infants with intestinal defects to large teenagers with sports-related injuries. We are humble in our task of caring for children who need medical and surgical attention.
