As a dietitian in Primary Care and Health, you work at the primary care level. The role covers the entire population in Uppsala County, all ages, including Child Health Services (BVC) and Elderly Care.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed dietitian, preferably with previous experience from working in primary care. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and that you have the capacity to work independently as well as a good ability to develop operations and collaboration, both within and between health centres and with neighboring care providers.

Great importance is attached to personal suitability, which for us means that you want to contribute to a good work climate by being positive, having a flexible working style, and a good ability to collaborate with others in the team, while also having the habit and drive to work independently.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

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 a decision on employment, a check of the suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of addicts, areas covered by facultative record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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