Vacant job

Welcome to a workplace where community, development, and care are in focus. We are now looking for a General Practitioner Specialist!

Your Workplace

We are a friendly team of 33 employees working together to provide the best possible care for our patients. We are proud of our cohesion, our shared focus, and the open-hearted atmosphere we have created at our workplace.

The health center has approximately 11,000 registered patients. Currently, we have five specialists and two ST-doctors (doctors in specialized training). Several of our district nurses have further education, including in asthma/COPD and diabetes.

The health center features a counseling clinic with a counselor, psychologist, and psychiatric nurse. A welfare coordinator from Karlstad Municipality is also present every week. We hold regular doctor meetings for continuing education, dialogue, and collegial support.

We work together on the development of our operations and tasks. We often say that we are large enough to be resilient, yet small enough to easily implement improvements if we wish. We have established a close collaboration with Karlstad Municipality and the civil society around the health center. We know this is beneficial for us and our patients.

Your Responsibilities

You will work with a variety of tasks including investigation, treatment, and assessment of patients. One of our specialists is a Silvia doctor, primarily working with SÄBO (care for people with intellectual disabilities) and home care in our district, but there is an opportunity to combine these roles if you wish. We also offer digital consultations for our patients, which can be handled from home for those who prefer this.

Your Knowledge and Competencies

We are looking for you who are a specialist in general medicine and authorized to work within Swedish healthcare. You express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing, and have an easy time building good relationships with both patients and colleagues. We want you to enjoy working with other professions and to supervise students, ST-doctors, and AT-doctors (doctors in basic training).

As a person, you thrive in patient interactions and always put the patient first, while also having the ability to view operations from a holistic perspective. You prefer to work in close collaboration with others and easily empathize with and understand other people's situations. You are innovative, eager to contribute new ideas, and have the ability to listen to your own intuition.
