Vacant job

Welcome to become part of a work group that cares for each other and has fun together!

At our department, we work with highly specialized care within gynecology and contribute to increased quality of life for our patients.

Our Offer

For life forward. Region Östergötland has high ambitions and a responsible mission. It is about health and care, about our region's development, and about those who live and visit here. We want to continue to be at the forefront with care, research, and education. This means daring to think new thoughts – and having the best employees. Therefore, we offer unique opportunities for further learning and invest in modern environments with efficient systems and tools. Many of us meet patients and relatives, others create the conditions for vital interventions. At our workplace, fantastic people work towards the same goal – to make a real difference, and for life forward.

Here at the gynecological ward in Linköping, we place great value on high quality and appropriate care. This is to meet the need for gynecological care for our inpatients, our round-the-clock emergency operations, and abortion services. We have a high staffing of nurses to meet this need. In practice, this means that you will never work alone as a nurse, that there is always a more experienced colleague available when you are new, and that you will not work nights during the initial period.

Job Description

On the ward, we work in pair care, which is a close and important collaboration between a nurse and a nursing assistant. In each care team, there are up to seven patients whom we care for together with the patient's best interest in focus. As a nurse, you are responsible for ensuring that our patients receive the right nursing care in every given situation. Collaboration with different professions is important, and as a nurse, you have a leading role in the daily work. The daily tasks in the care team include basic and specific nursing care, medication administration, NEWS checks, ward rounds, wound care, nutrition, patient admission and discharge, mobilization, and preparations for treatment, among others.

In the evenings, on weekends, and at night, we have emergency reception on the ward. At the emergency reception, we receive, prepare, and assist during examinations, including cases of sexualized violence.

During daytime hours, an experienced nurse is on site as a coordinator in addition to the care team.

After a period when you are comfortable in your role, you will begin working as an on-call nurse, working nights, and as a coordinator, receiving further training.

As a nurse with us, you need to be responsible and curious, with a talent for good communication and collaboration.

Work Group

Our work group consists of nurses, nursing assistants, specialist nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, counselors, operating room planners, staffing coordinators, business developers, research nurses, and contact nurses.

Here, we have experienced nurses as coordinators and on-call nurses to ensure the availability of experienced staff on site all hours of the day and night, as well as to meet the medical needs of our patients.

We work actively with working environment, development, and well-being. Every Monday, we have training, reflection with a counselor and priest, or APT (Work Environment Meeting) in the afternoon.

About You

We are looking for you who are a registered nurse. Previous experience working in inpatient care is meritorious but not a requirement. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

Since you work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

We work closely together and need good communication to successfully solve the tasks we face in everyday life. Therefore, the position suits you who enjoy collaboration and are receptive and communicative to both colleagues, patients, and relatives.

Application and Employment

This position is a fixed-term appointment for 6 months with start date as agreed. We work with rolling selection, so please send in your application as soon as possible.

Before employment in a patient-proximity role within Region Östergötland, you will be asked to fill out a health declaration.
