Vacant job

At AVA/IMA, you work in a team with nursing assistants, pharmacists, and doctors in an environment where pace, collaboration, and patient safety go hand in hand. You will encounter diverse patient groups and utilize your full range of skills in both acute and intermediate care.

We are looking for you who want to take responsibility, think innovatively, and develop in a forward-moving organization – together we make a difference.

What We Offer

Moving forward for life. Region Östergötland has high ambitions and a responsible mission. It is about health and care, the development of our region, and the people who live and visit here. We want to continue to be at the forefront with care, research, and education. This means daring to think differently – 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, while others create the conditions for vital interventions. Here, fantastic people work towards the same goal – to make a real difference, and for life moving forward.

You will receive an individualized introduction of up to six weeks, combining theory and practice with experienced colleagues. After approximately one year at AVA, the next step is planned: an introduction at IMA, where you will care for patients in more critical stages.

Job Description

You will meet people with various medical diagnoses of varying severity, where admissions, discharges, acute nursing care, medical treatment, and monitoring run continuously throughout the day and night. The department has an open communication climate with daily reflection and feedback where all employees participate. The daily work is highly varied, and you will work around the patient together with the rest of the team. At AVA, there are three care teams, one of which is the IMA care team.

Approximately 50 employees work at AVA; they are a competent group consisting of professions such as nursing assistants, nurses, and personnel coordinators. AVA is a department with high competence and ambition levels, where we work closely together with a clear patient focus. We are a flexible department that takes responsibility, supports each other, and continuously develops our approach with the patient in focus.

AVA has 16 care beds distributed across three care teams. Here, patients are cared for who need a bit more time than what can be offered in the emergency department. At AVA, we monitor, stabilize, investigate, and treat patients for up to 1–2 days. Patients with longer hospital care needs are transferred to other wards. AVA also has a unit with four beds for intermediate care for patients who are too ill to be cared for in a regular ward but do not fully require intensive care.

You will receive an individualized introduction of up to six weeks, combining theory and practice with experienced colleagues. After approximately one year at AVA, the next step is planned: an introduction at IMA, where you will care for patients in more critical stages.
