Do you want to work in a setting where no two days are alike and where you can make a real difference for children and their families? We are now looking for more colleagues to join our team at Astrid Lindgren's Pediatric Emergency Department in Solna.

What we offer

• a structured and individually tailored introduction
• continuous training initiatives to create security and professional development
• close collaboration with engaged colleagues in multidisciplinary teams
• a varied daily work life with great opportunities for competence development
• a workplace characterized by respect, care, and a strong sense of teamwork

About the position

Astrid Lindgren's Children's Hospital brings together the expertise that sick children and adolescents may need. Here, we work together with respect, care, and a shared focus on providing the best possible care for our patients and their families.

At the pediatric emergency department in Solna, we have worked intensively over the past few years to develop our operations to receive our patients in the best possible way. We continue to develop our working methods and are now looking for more colleagues who want to be part of this journey.

At the pediatric emergency department, we receive and treat children and adolescents aged 0–18 with acute medical, orthopedic, and surgical diseases and injuries. The department is open 24/7, and patient flow varies in both volume and intensity.

As a nurse here, you work in a team together with other nurses, assistant nurses, and doctors. The work involves standard tasks for a nurse in a pediatric emergency department and offers great variation in terms of content, complexity, and pace.

Our patients arrive both on foot and by ambulance, and we often receive children requiring immediate emergency care. The work involves many encounters with patients and their families and requires good skills in assessment, prioritization, and action when patients' conditions change rapidly.

We are currently seeking nurses for permanent positions, temporary assignments, and hourly employment.

We are looking for you who

• feel confident in your professional role and have the ability to make well-founded decisions even in complex situations
• collaborate well with others and contribute to a good working climate in the team
• work in a structured manner and can prioritize when the pace is high and conditions change quickly
• have a professional and empathetic approach towards patients, relatives, and colleagues
• wish to contribute to the continued development and quality of the operations

Personal qualities are given great importance.

Qualifications

Requirements:

• licensed nurse
• at least one year of experience in pediatric care and/or emergency care in an emergency department

Meritorious:

• specialist education in healthcare for children and adolescents or emergency care
