Vacant job

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 a cohesive healthcare system in the Region of Västra Götaland. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always at the center. 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 working methods, we can simplify daily life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

We need more people in our team. We are now looking for you who are interested in joining our operations with a strong commitment to our patients. Orthopedic patients involve varying lengths of stay, ranging from one day to several weeks. The patient is the focus, and the care is person-centered.

About the Orthopedics Department

With approximately 500 employees, Sahlgrenska University Hospital is the country's largest provider of orthopedic care. We provide county and regional healthcare and also have several national assignments. Within the Orthopedics department, we treat, care for, and rehabilitate patients with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. We perform emergency and planned surgeries and treatments. We receive and treat patients from all over Sweden within specialized areas such as foot, spine, prosthetic, and arthroscopic surgery.

We strive to provide good, high-quality care and conduct high-quality research, development, and education. Our operations are mainly conducted at Mölndal Hospital, but we are also present at Queen Silvia Children's and Young People's Hospital and at Sahlgrenska Hospital. The Orthopedics department at Sahlgrenska University Hospital has a long research tradition and is internationally highly distinguished in several clinical areas.

Our wards at Mölndal Hospital are highly specialized departments for emergency and planned orthopedic operations.

Working as an assistant nurse in our ward means developing, enjoyable, and independent work. The department has a good working climate where we help each other and share our experience and competence.
