Do you have your head in the game?

If you also want to influence and develop our operations, then you have come to the right place!

"The work is varied and often challenging, but we are a good and tightly knit team with mixed experiences who support and help each other. Together we provide neurosurgically safe care and every day we develop both as individuals and as a work team."

"I am looking for you who want to take an active role in developing our ward, both regarding patient safety work and also workplace environment issues."

Our Operations

We have a large catchment area as we are one of six highly specialized neurosurgical clinics in Sweden, and we receive both planned and acute patients around the clock. The patients we care for have head bleeds, brain and spinal tumors, spinal injuries, vascular malformations, and hydrocephalus. The brain is the most important thing we have and the part that controls our body and who we are. The brain is a mystery we are constantly learning more about. It controls everything we do, or fail to do. Sounds exciting? Come and become part of our fantastic team! You are warmly welcome to observe us to get your own impression of our ward.

We have close cooperation across ward boundaries. We place great emphasis on the work environment as well as good care for our patients. We have active leadership that contributes to structure and an engaged work group that together works for a sustainable and good work environment here.

Your Role

As a nurse with us, you will become part of a skilled team, where we support and help each other while you get the opportunity to develop your clinical eye and work independently. We have close cooperation with other professions, and you will be an important puzzle piece in both our work with the work environment and patient safety on the ward. Here, you will encounter varied work with challenging tasks that give you broad competence. As a nurse with us, you work in four-nurse teams day and night, which means approximately six patients per team.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. If you have previous experience as a nurse, it is an advantage, but even if you are a recent graduate, you are warmly welcome to apply.

Your Competence

You are receptive and have an easy time communicating with colleagues, patients, and relatives. You are an outgoing person who can work independently and together in a group. You have an interest in developing our operations where the patient is always in focus. You have the ability to prioritize and reprioritize your tasks as needed. Great importance is placed on personal qualities as the work requires flexibility and a positive attitude.

We Offer

We offer you a permanent position at 100% with start date according to agreement. We have individual schedules with the possibility for you to influence your work arrangement with us. Here, there is the possibility to work full- or part-time; you are employed in a rotation position where we are as responsive as possible to your wishes regarding the scheduling of working hours. We offer individual induction for approximately 6 weeks depending on previous experience.

Since Akademiska sjukhuset is a university hospital with the mission to provide healthcare and research, you also get the opportunity to help develop care for our patients. If you are a newly graduated nurse, you will participate in Akademiska sjukhuset's clinical development year. This means you get the opportunity to perform clinical work on our ward, while also getting the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and exchange experiences with newly hired colleagues throughout the hospital's departments. The clinical training year is planned into your schedule and counts towards your working hours. For you who are an experienced nurse, we on the neurosurgical ward have the possibility to offer you competence-enhancing university courses in neurosurgery.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime, but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who in the sought position may come to work within psychiatric healthcare, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by facultative record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
