Our operations

Samariterhemmet Health Centre is located in central Uppsala, a stone's throw from the Travel Centre. Our health centre is a large operation with 13,850 registered patients. Together we are just over 70 employees, and all professional areas within the health centre's mandate are represented. The broad variation of patients creates a developmental workplace. Since 2019, we have been an academic health centre. An academic health centre has essentially the same mandate as other health centres and offers its patients the same care as before. What differs is that we have employees who are also researchers and work with development projects and education, including quality assurance and the development of clinical practice-based education. In addition to regular staff, there are also clinical pharmacists, university lecturers, and clinical adjuncts here. We invest in secure employment and good benefits through our collective agreement.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by facultative record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and ad sales representatives.
