Our Operations

Welcome to Sweden's hottest workplace in Uppsala! Just below the helicopter pad, we operate one of the country's two units providing national highly specialized burn care. The Burn Center is now expanding its muscles and increasing the number of patient beds from 4 to 7. Therefore, we need to expand our team. Here, we work in multidisciplinary teams, always with the patient in focus. We care for burn patients from the acute stage, requiring advanced intensive care, to intermediate care, and finally rehabilitation before the patient is discharged. This provides continuity in care and close contact with the patient and their relatives. The ward has an operating theater where our patients are operated on. Our operations are complemented by an outpatient clinic where we treat minor injuries and care for patients who have been discharged from the ward.

Your Role

As a Nursing Assistant at the Burn Center, you are highly involved in the care of everyone from patients requiring intensive care to those needing monitoring, and everyone in between. Our patients often have significant care needs, with a major focus on pain management, nutrition, and wound care. You are responsible for the basic care of the patients. Personal development as well as operational development are second nature to you, and you work actively with this in your professional practice. Together with your colleagues, you create a good work environment and contribute a positive attitude to the work group. If we get along well, there is an opportunity to take Uppsala University's supervisor training, ICU nurse training, or perhaps you have a project in mind that could become a reality with us?

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are trained as a Nursing Assistant. Experience in emergency care or intensive care is excellent but not a requirement.

Your Competencies

We are looking for you who have a flexible and curious approach as well as good collaboration skills. You also have the ability to structure and prioritize your tasks effectively. Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.

We Offer

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 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 compulsory 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 mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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