Vacant job

We are a force that binds together, holds together and develops the county. Within Region Västernorrland, we are all part of something bigger.

About the Operations

Ambulance care is a county-wide operation that is constantly developing to offer patients the best possible care. The operation provides ambulance care and patient transport services and comprises approximately 200 employees. Staffing in ambulances has previously consisted exclusively of licensed nurses, but as part of providing accessible ambulance care, we are now hiring ambulance care assistants. We have stations in Härnösand, Kramfors, Sollefteå, Sundsvall, and Örnsköldsvik, and we offer temporary, hourly, or permanent positions within the Region.

Ambulance care in Region Västernorrland maintains high quality, and here you have good opportunities to develop in the role of an ambulance care assistant. We offer a secure onboarding program where you work under supervision and develop through internal training. During your first period with us, you will always work together with an experienced nurse in the ambulance. The job requires good physical endurance. Before employment, you will undergo suitability tests in the form of a physical test, driving test, and an assessment of medical knowledge.

The profession involves a large amount of driving, and you must demonstrate good judgment in traffic. You must have at least two years of driving experience and will receive additional driving skills through the ambulance care department's traffic training. A category B driver's license is required for employment, and a category C or C1 driver's license is required for work in an ambulance. If you lack a C or C1 driver's license and do not qualify for an exemption (B license obtained before 1996-07-01, without revocation after this date), ambulance care will fund a training package for a C1 driver's license.

We are now looking for you who are trained as an ambulance care assistant or assistant nurse with previous emergency care experience. Start date is by agreement.

Job Responsibilities

In the role of an ambulance care assistant, you work in an ambulance and/or in patient transport vehicles. In the ambulance, you work in a team together with a nurse, collaborating to provide the patient with the best possible care. In patient transport vehicles, you work independently, primarily performing the transport of patients who need to travel with a healthcare resource but do not require ambulance services during transport. You meet patients in varied environments and spend a lot of time outdoors. The tasks range from caring for patients affected by acute illness or injury to nursing and transporting patients with non-acute conditions.
