Vacant job

Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Region of Västra Götaland and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Primary Care Hospital, Högsbo Primary Care Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3,000 employees work with us every day to provide good, safe, and high-quality specialist healthcare.

Description

Department 5 is a Geriatric Orthopedic Emergency Care Unit (GOA) operating on a smaller scale. This is part of the new construction at Kungälv Hospital to meet future healthcare needs in modern facilities. We primarily treat patients with hip fractures and, secondarily, osteoporosis-related fractures. Each patient is cared for in their own smartly designed room, benefiting both the patient and the staff.

What awaits you?

We offer you a varied and enjoyable job with plenty of support from the unit manager and helpful colleagues. Our senior nurses and experienced assistant nurses are on-site to support you as a newcomer, ensuring a good and secure start to your professional life. Our doctors also act as mentors for the nurses.

We believe a good introduction is important, and we will plan it based on your needs.

You will work in a team together with 1-2 assistant nurses, experienced doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and other rehabilitation staff as needed. Our strength lies in our good collaboration between all professional categories, with everyone adopting a rehabilitative approach.

The hospital has a care coordination team that supports discharge planning and competence development in the IT system SAMSA when needed. We have some assistance from a pharmacy technician on the department who prepares medications and provides support with medication-related questions. Region Service helps us with storage, cleaning, and patient transport within the hospital, and they also transport beds to and from the bed washer.

The position offers a basic schedule for day and evening shifts in accordance with the Working Time Act, and we work every other weekend. Special night staff is available, so there is no requirement for three-shift work.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a nursing education, preferably with experience in hospital care, but also for those who are newly graduated. You should be able to work both independently and collaboratively with a patient-focused approach.

Knowledge and experience in orthopedic and geriatric care are meritorious. Personal suitability is given great weight.

For you who are a newly graduated nurse/radiographer, the Clinical Foundation Year is included during the first year of your permanent employment. The Clinical Foundation Year includes lectures, process-oriented nursing guidance, and practical training of your profession at the Simulation Center. It also includes shadowing in other operations to give you a broader understanding of the hospital where you work.
