We are looking for nursing assistants for the Near Care Department in Tierp Älvkarleby who want to work weekends!

We offer an exciting and developmental job where you will contribute to safe, patient-centered, and high-quality care. Join us on our journey towards efficient and close-to-home care by 2030!

We are currently looking for nursing assistants who wish to work hourly shifts with us, primarily on weekends.

Your Role

As a nursing assistant with us, you work together with the rest of the team to meet the patient's needs for medical nursing care. In addition to providing the best possible care to our patients, you will have the opportunity to continue developing the operations. We place great emphasis on flexible, theme-based teamwork, which gives you a varied work experience.

We work together to create a cohesive care process where everyone knows their role and can contribute to clarity and security for patients and relatives. We work from a person-centered care perspective, placing great importance on the patient's clear participation in the planning of their care.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a trained nursing assistant with a certificate of the protected professional title "undersköterska" from the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen). It is an advantage if you have healthcare experience, knowledge of person-centered care, and education as a specialist nursing assistant in elderly care, palliative care, or rehabilitation.

As a person, you are positive, engaged, unpretentious, and empathetic, with the ability to see the patient's needs and good collaboration skills with other professional competencies. You should be able to contribute to a good work climate and not be unfamiliar with new ways of working. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

Our Operations

The Near Care Department is part of the Health Center Tierp-Älvkarleby and is located in Tierp, between Uppsala and Gävle, with good commuting opportunities.

The operation consists of 18 care beds with shorter care times and adapted admission and discharge flows. The department's mission is at the primary care level for ages 17 and up, providing inpatient care that does not require the hospital's specialist resources; we also provide some day care.

We Offer

• An hourly employment with shifts during day/evening/night.

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 making a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who in the applied position may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly involve work with the above-mentioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
