Vacant job

Do you want to become part of Region Jämtland Härjedalen?

Here, you contribute to the development and growth of the entire county, working to offer the best possible service, care, and support for everyone who lives in or visits the region. We offer a work environment characterized by collaboration, participation, and engagement, where both broad skills and specialized expertise are valued. Here, you have the opportunity to develop in your role, whether you are new to the profession or have extensive experience.

About the Position

At Östersund Hospital, the only emergency hospital in Region Jämtland Härjedalen, you will work on a dynamic ward where we admit surgical patients with increased care needs. We receive patients from the entire region and are responsible for both residents and many visitors during the summer and winter seasons. This makes the work varied, meaningful, and challenging.

On Surgical Ward 3, KAVA, we work based on a concept where teamwork, high physician presence, patient participation, and continuous competence development are central. We also work with needs-based care planning, daily management, and a strong focus on quality in care.

Responsibilities

As a nurse at KAVA, you will play a key role in the acute surgical care chain. You will meet patients who arrive via the emergency department for investigation, monitoring, and treatment – often with complex conditions and rapidly changing care needs.

The work is varied, fast-paced, and meaningful. Your responsibilities include:

• Monitoring and medication management
• Documentation and coordination of care interventions
• Collaboration with nursing assistants, doctors, and other healthcare professionals

We work in a cross-professional team together with care planning nurses, pharmacists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and medical secretaries. There is also a charge nurse on site who supports and organizes the work during the day, as well as a unit coordinator who handles administrative tasks such as transport bookings, bed allocation, and telephony.

The length of stay varies from a few days to several weeks – depending on the patient's condition. You will work and contribute to acute care.

What We Offer

• Work closely with patients in a ward where clinical judgment and good nursing care are crucial
• A secure 6-week introduction and observation period within the surgical area, so you get to know the entire workflow
• Be part of a work group that values quality, development, and joy in everyday life
• Opportunities for specialist education with study leave

Qualifications and Merits

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with an interest in trauma and acute surgical care. You are equally welcome if you are new to the profession and ready to dive into something new! Do you have a sharp clinical eye, a calm head in fast-paced situations, and a heart for teamwork? Then you will thrive with us!

You are a person who enjoys communicating, collaborating, and taking responsibility – and who also gladly shares a laugh in the midst of seriousness.

Further education in surgical nursing is an advantage, but we also know that competence grows over time. Therefore, we offer good opportunities for development.

Employment Type
