Vacant job

The Oncology Department has ten beds for adult patients diagnosed with cancer across all specialties.

We are a well-functioning team with delightfully dedicated staff who work from a holistic perspective around the patient and their relatives. The team includes doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and social workers.

Now you have the chance to become a nurse in our friendly night team. At night, the department is staffed with two nurses and one nursing assistant.

We offer you a 70% position with the possibility of increasing the workload if desired.

Your responsibilities

To make things as optimal as possible for the patients and their relatives, we rely on the combined skills of the entire team. As a nurse, you play a key role in care to achieve symptom relief for patients in curative or palliative stages. You will also be an important person in contact with relatives and other close ones around the patients. Your ability to build good contact and reach people is significant.

Many of our patients have pumps for symptom relief, and as a nurse, you will be responsible for monitoring and refilling these. There are patients undergoing cytostatic treatment on the ward, and if you do not have this competence, we offer training and a cytostatic license.

The work in our unit is varied and developmental. Some situations require quick action, and sometimes it is important to spend extra time with one of the patients or a relative.

During on-call hours, the department's nurses are responsible for providing support and advice by phone to cancer patients enrolled in the palliative team, and to patients undergoing active treatment from day care.

We use TakeCare for medical record keeping.

The night staff have a preference schedule and work four weekends out of ten weeks.

Who are you?

You are a licensed nurse, and it is an advantage if you have relevant specialist education and/or experience in oncological/palliative care.

We are looking for you who are flexible and adapt easily to changing circumstances. Sometimes it can be a bit quieter on the ward, only to pick up speed shortly after. Conversation, time for "the little extra", and having fun at work are keywords for you who apply to us; you are therefore receptive and observant and have a strong focus on the psychosocial environment. You are a secure person who can make decisions independently, dare to step in and stay despite difficult conversations with patients and relatives, are unpretentious, and have good collaboration skills.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability among our applicants.

A background check through extracts from the criminal record will be conducted before a decision on employment is made.
