Together, we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe's leading university hospital by 2032. Together with our patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation within an integrated healthcare system in the Region of Västra Götaland. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We offer local and regional healthcare, as well as highly specialized care to patients throughout the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength, contributing to knowledge exchanges nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new ways of working, we can simplify life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About the Department

Ward 236 at Mölndal Hospital is an acute internal medicine ward. We care for patients from the emergency department with a wide variety of diagnoses, such as infections, intoxications, dizziness, heart failure, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism. The ward features telemetry monitoring.

The patients are usually elderly, which means a more complex clinical picture where many different diagnoses are treated simultaneously. This variety ensures that as a nursing assistant, you will gain a broad knowledge base and develop your skills in patient care.

We value the competencies and strengths of all employees and encourage everyone to participate in the department's development work. It is important to us that you, as an employee, feel valued and have the opportunity to grow in your professional role.

We strive to be a learning workplace for both staff and students, for example through internal training in various areas. Lectures are held continuously during working hours.

About the Job

As a nursing assistant, you will have a varied job focused on patient-centered care. Working as a nursing assistant means you are an important part of the team working to ensure all patients receive good and safe care.

You work in a team together with nurses and other professional groups, where you are responsible for patient care and monitoring. In consultation with the nurse in your team, you also perform sample collections, dressing changes, and more.

We use individual scheduling, which means you request your schedule yourself according to certain guidelines based on the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations and healthy scheduling practices.

About You

You will work closely with patients, which means you:

• Have a good attitude, understanding, and interest in people
• Are good at listening and communicating with both patients and relatives
