Plastic and Jaw Surgery Department

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough trials and fantastic events, within a strong community of colleagues. We welcome your application!

Do you want to work with leadership and world-class burn care? Then this might be the job for you! At our Burn Center, you are offered the opportunity to develop your skills in burn care. At the same time, as a team leader, you play a crucial role in driving the operations forward, as we are in an exciting phase of development with increased care beds and knowledge development.

Our Operations

Welcome to Sweden's hottest workplace! Just below the helicopter pad, we operate one of the country's two units providing national highly specialized burn care. Here, we work in multidisciplinary teams, always with the patient in focus. We care for burn patients from the acute stage, requiring advanced intensive care, to intermediate care, and finally rehabilitation before the patient is discharged. This provides continuity in care and close contact with the patient and their relatives. The ward has an operating room where our patients are operated on.

Our operations are complemented by a clinic where we treat minor injuries and care for patients who have been discharged from the ward.

Your Role

As a team leader at the Burn Center, you are a key person focused on daily operations – both in inpatient care and outpatient services. You report directly to the Ward Manager and are responsible for being the operational leader for the work shift. Your duties are divided between team leader responsibilities and patient-facing work with standard nursing tasks. You represent the ward both internally and externally. The team leader role is during daytime hours, Monday to Friday, but opportunities for rotation and weekend shifts exist if desired.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for a nurse, preferably with specialized training in intensive care. The position requires you to be solution-oriented and a good communicator. Wound care is more exciting than many think; if you are not interested in this from the start, you will surely become so! If you have a flexible and curious attitude, as well as good collaboration skills, we are made for each other.

What We Offer

We offer a permanent full-time position as a nurse/specialist nurse in intensive care. An appointment as team leader for a 2-year period, which can be extended. Start date by agreement.

As an employee at Akademiska sjukhuset, you have the staff benefit of using Friskhuset's services. Here you have access to a well-equipped gym with generous opening hours, a wide range of group training sessions, and additionally everything from stress courses to massage and free physiotherapy.

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, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job applicants who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of addicts, areas covered by facultative record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work in patient-facing roles, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

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