Emergency Care Department

Welcome to Enköping Hospital – Big care in a small setting!

Around 700 dedicated colleagues work with us in an environment where close collaboration and community are second nature. We are located in an expanding region with convenient commuting options to Stockholm, Uppsala, and Västerås. For those considering moving to live closer to work, the Enköping region has much to offer. The hospital provides emergency and planned care for approximately 72,000 residents in Enköping, Håbo, and Södra Heby, and we also have specialist responsibilities throughout Uppsala County. Here, you can make a difference – for the patients and for the operations – in a work environment where we continuously develop together. Do you want to become part of our team? You are warmly welcome to Enköping Hospital!

Our Operations

With approximately 26,800 visits per year, the Emergency Department plays a central role in our operations. The Emergency Department is open 24/7 for emergency visits and serves as the hospital's center for disaster preparedness. We value a good work environment and efficient operations where team spirit is a central part.

Your Role

As a nursing assistant here, you will perform general patient care, including wound dressings, taking blood samples, performing simple casts and ECGs, and participating in triage. You will also work at the Emergency Department reception, becoming the patient's very first point of contact during their visit to the emergency room.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for two trained nursing assistants, preferably with a few years of experience in healthcare. Experience from emergency care or similar is meritorious, as is experience with sample collection, cash register operations, and casting knowledge.

Your Competence

As a person, you always put the patient's best interests first, are self-reliant, and take responsibility for your tasks. Furthermore, you adapt easily to changing circumstances, see opportunities in change, and thrive in a fast-paced work environment. Finally, you are not only a skilled nursing assistant but also a positive and engaged colleague who is solution-oriented, sees new ways of working as an opportunity, and contributes to a good work environment. We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.

What We Offer

As two of our colleagues are going to study, we are offering two full-time temporary positions, preferably from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027, with a great possibility of extension, subject to agreement. Here, you receive benefits that make a difference; read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/formaner/ (https://regionuppsala.se/formaner/)).

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

Region Uppsala assigns all permanent staff for wartime duties based on the needs of the total defense. This entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before making a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and youth, or involuntary care for substance abusers, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, 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.
