Our Operations

The Orthopedic Rehabilitation Department works from a person-centered and rehabilitative approach. The starting point here is the meeting with the patient. We are now looking for a new colleague who is passionate about teamwork, focusing on each patient's unique prerequisites and personal goals.

We are an inpatient ward for patients with orthopedic diagnoses who have additional needs for care and rehabilitation following, for example, trauma, fractures, or prosthetic surgeries. The length of stay is usually between seven and ten days and is adapted to the patients' needs. We have twelve care beds on the ward, divided into two teams, with six patients in each team. Teamwork is central to the ward, enabling a holistic view of the patient, individualized measures, and promoting patient safety.

We focus on healthy work schedules and hours, developmental team rounds, person-centered care, daily management, and more. We work to streamline discharges and actively collaborate with our colleagues at the rest of the hospital, Uppsala University Hospital, and the municipality.

Your Role

As a nurse with us, you play a key role in the team. In addition to the usual tasks included for a nurse, you will also;

• Have motivational conversations with the patient.
• Be involved in the patient's nursing and rehabilitation.
• Lead the morning rounds.
• Assess incoming referrals.
• Coordinate with other professions at the hospital as needed.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. We prioritize if you have experience from working in a hospital. You appreciate varied work, want to influence and develop operations, and are an engaged and positive colleague who contributes to a good work environment. If you like working in teams from a person-centered approach where the patient is involved in their care and rehabilitation, you are warmly welcome to apply.

Uppsala County values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Uppsala County 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 the 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 involuntary care of addicts, areas covered by optional 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 above-mentioned patient groups.

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