Business Area 3 is represented by Anesthesia/Operation, ICU/IMCU/Post-op, and the Sterile Technology Unit, with hospital units in Lidköping, Skövde, and Falköping.

Description

In autumn 2026, the Intermediate Medical Care Unit (IMCU/IMA) is planned to restart. The unit shares premises with Post-op 1, enabling close collaboration in daily work. Working at a newly started unit offers both opportunities and development, and you will become a key part of shaping routines, working methods, and a strong team spirit. It is an exciting phase where your skills and commitment truly make a difference.

We are therefore looking for you who want to take the next step in the development of IMCU – which will be part of a cohesive unit together with ICU and Post-op. Here, you will work in modern facilities and in well-functioning teams.

Intermediate care is a care level with extended capabilities compared to a standard ward, while not offering the most advanced care that Intensive Care (ICU) provides. By offering care to patients in an intermediate stage between standard ward care and intensive care, IMCU can relieve both the ICU and standard wards.

IMCU is a specialist unit with 4 beds for sicker patients requiring increased monitoring, advanced treatment, and nursing. The unit is equipped with advanced medical technology for care in various conditions. We primarily treat adults and admit patients from all hospital clinics.

Responsibilities

As a new employee at IMCU, you will be offered a thorough introduction to help you feel secure in your new workplace. Prior to the start, there is also the opportunity for extended advanced training in intensive care to create good conditions for staff to care for critically ill patients.

As a nurse at IMCU, you will work at the top of your competence in more specialized care with high monitoring and advanced technology. You will work in a team together with assistant nurses and doctors. Here, you will develop with the patient in focus. You will be responsible for fewer patients but with greater care needs compared to a standard ward – something that makes the work professionally challenging.

IMCU operates 24/7, meaning shifts are available during days, evenings, and nights.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a registered nurse with a few years of experience in inpatient care or emergency care. You have good collaboration skills and are open to development, both personally and professionally. You are accustomed to working in teams.

Your personal qualities are significant, and we are looking for you who are confident in your role, positive, and engaged. You must have good collaboration skills as we work in teams around the patient, as well as a good ability to handle stressful situations. We will place great emphasis on previous experience and personal suitability.

Do you want an exciting job as a nurse in intermediate care and the opportunity to help shape a unit? Join us!
