About the Job

Your duties at the health centre span a broad field of work and cover the area of general medicine, where you meet patients of all ages and situations. You work in a health-promoting, advisory, and therapeutic capacity in primary care, both via telephone, digital healthcare meetings, and at the clinic.

The work involves both emergency and planned operations. You work somewhat independently with your own clinic for diabetes patients, where you triage, treat, and follow up with patients. Close collaboration occurs with your colleagues at the unit and cross-professionally in the team, as well as with other actors such as home healthcare and other specialist care. Together with the health centre management, you are responsible for developing and driving the operations forward. Training future colleagues is an important and rewarding part of our mission; therefore, supervising students is also included as part of your role at the health centre.

About You

You are a registered nurse, preferably a district nurse, with additional education in Diabetes of at least 15 higher education credits. Previous experience as a Diabetes Nurse and/or in primary care is meritorious.

We are looking for you who take initiative in work and are confident in making your own decisions. You are meticulous, have good problem-solving skills, and can prioritize your tasks effectively.

In your work, you meet many patients, so it is important that you are accommodating, sensitive, and have a desire to help others. We also believe that you thrive in teamwork and that collaborating with colleagues and other contacts is second nature to you. You can express yourself well both orally and in writing, and are an engaged and good listener at both digital meetings and visits at the clinic. We would like you to have an interest in digitalization and operational development. We also see that you live up to Närhälsan's core values: Reliable, Caring, and Forward-thinking.

Other Information

Interviews at the health centre will be held on the afternoon of July 14.

We welcome your application!

About the Recruitment Process

Selection is done in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who call candidates for a telephone interview. Thereafter, the hiring manager makes a second selection of the applicants and invites them to an interview at the health centre.

We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe as concrete situations as possible and try to avoid generalized answers – this is so that we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the result was.
