Job Description:

Small department. Big responsibility. Hardanger right outside your door.

We are looking for an operating theatre nurse for a 100% fixed-term substitute position, with the possibility of permanent employment.

At Odda Hospital, you will become part of a small and close-knit professional environment where operating theatre nurses and nurse anaesthetists work closely together. You will play a key role in the operating team, enjoying varied working days, planned procedures, acute situations, and close cooperation with surgeons and other professionals.

The team is small enough for you to be seen, and important enough for your competence to matter.

Odda may be the right place for you if you desire calmer surroundings, short distances, and nature right outside your door. Fjords, mountains, hiking, skiing, climbing, and outdoor activities are all close by.

If you are curious about the position, please contact Beata Syska for an informal conversation about the roster, on-call duties, the working environment, and what it is like to work and live in Odda.

What does the job involve?

You will, among other things:

• provide operating theatre nursing in general surgery
• participate in operating teams and trauma teams
• prepare and carry out surgical procedures
• perform tasks related to the central sterile services department
• contribute to professional development, quality, and good routines
• take part in home/on-call duties as part of the position

Skills Requirements

You must have:

• Norwegian authorization as a nurse
• further education/specialist qualification in operating theatre nursing
• relevant experience as an operating theatre nurse
• good Norwegian language skills, both written and spoken

Applicants whose first language is not Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish must document Norwegian language skills at a minimum B2 level, unless they have completed upper secondary education in Norwegian.

It is an advantage if you have experience from a hospital setting.

Personal Qualities

We are looking for someone who is calm, precise, and able to adapt quickly when the situation requires it. You must be able to take responsibility, ask for help when needed, and contribute to a well-functioning team.

We value that you:

• work independently when needed
• keep an overview and prioritize well when the pace increases
• cooperate well with different professional groups
• enjoy working closely in a team
• notice what needs to be done and help where needed
• contribute to a supportive working environment

Why choose us?

With us, you will get:

• a 100% fixed-term substitute position, with the possibility of permanent employment
• a small and close-knit professional environment
• close cooperation between operating theatre, anaesthesia, and central sterile services
• professional development through courses, practice, and training
• a workplace where you are seen and have an important role
• an annual roster where we, as far as possible, take wishes into account
• varied working days with both planned procedures and acute situations
• colleagues who care about each other, both inside and outside the operating theatre

The position includes on-call duties from home. We would be happy to tell you more about how this arrangement works in practice, so you know what it involves before making your decision.
