About Region Västernorrland

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

About the Operations

The ambulance care service 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 for the operation. We have stations in Härnösand, Kramfors, Sollefteå, Sundsvall, and Örnsköldsvik, and offer temporary, hourly, or permanent employment 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 induction 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 when working in the ambulance. The work 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 significant 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 service's traffic training. A Category B driving license is a requirement for employment, and a Category C or C1 driving license is required for working in an ambulance. If you lack a C or C1 driving license and do not fall under the exemption (Category B license obtained before 1996-07-01, without revocation after this date), ambulance care will cover the cost of a training package for a C1 driving 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, where you collaborate 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 care 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.
