About the workplace

Prästsjögården is a care and nursing home in Umeå Municipality. At Unit 2, we are currently developing a practice where security, continuity, symptom relief, participation, and quality of life are central parts of the care.

The care is provided within the framework of municipal primary healthcare. This means that as a nurse, you work close to the patient and the team, focusing on assessments, follow-up, planning, and support in challenging care situations.

The unit consists of 11 places and is directed towards people with palliative care needs, where the need for proximity, structure, and coordination is great. The work is carried out in close collaboration with nursing staff, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, doctors, social services/authorities, managers, and relatives.

As a nurse at Unit 2, you will have a qualified and meaningful assignment where your clinical competence, your approach to people, and your ability to create security are of great importance.

You will work with standard nursing tasks within municipal healthcare, with a special focus on people in the end of life and people with complex care needs.
