We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough challenges and fantastic events, within a strong community of colleagues. We welcome your application!

Do you want to work with heart and thorax patients in a developing unit?

At Ward 50F, you will have the opportunity to take responsibility, develop your skills, and help shape the elective care ward of the future together with an engaged team.

Our Operations

Our area of operations includes cardiology and pulmonology, clinical physiology, and thoracic surgery. Advanced care is provided here in close collaboration with research and development, making the work both exciting and future-oriented.

On Ward 50F, we provide pre- and postoperative care within the elective flow – planned care for patients who come from home prior to surgery or treatment. Patients are usually admitted the day before their procedure, cared for on the ward before surgery, and receive their postoperative care from us afterwards.

We have a high patient flow and a varying work pace, but what characterizes our workplace is strong teamwork. We help and support each other, and we have an open atmosphere where laughter is close at hand and the ceiling is high.

We collaborate closely with the thoracic admission unit regarding the preoperative flow and with the cardiac intensive care unit 50G regarding certain patient groups and when more advanced care is needed.

An exciting development journey

Ward 50F is now facing an exciting development journey. The ward is entering a construction phase where we will jointly shape and develop the future 50F. We do not yet know exactly how the operations will look in a year – but we know that we are looking for engaged employees who want to influence, develop, and build something long-term.

Assistant nurses already play a central role in our operations, and we want to continue developing both the ward and the assistant nurse profession. Here, you will have the opportunity to take responsibility, develop your skills, and be an important part of the team. We look forward to welcoming more colleagues who share our enthusiasm for the future.

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 entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before decisions on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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