Welcome to the team at the fantastic Geriatric Acute Care Unit (GAVA)!

At the Geriatric Acute Care Unit GAVA, you as a nurse will work with your entire scope of competence, caring for elderly, frail patients with complex needs. We work based on the geriatric working model Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA), which means a clear, structured assessment that increases patient safety and leads to a person-centered approach. At GAVA, there are clear routines that provide a meaningful, safe, and secure workplace where all professions are valued, respected, and given the opportunity to take responsibility and grow in their profession. At GAVA, we work with clear routines close to skilled colleagues within all professions with stable medical continuity.

This is how one of your future colleagues describes what it is like to work at GAVA at the Medical Specialist Clinic at the Hospital in Motala:

"The best thing about working at GAVA is that I am constantly developing in my role as a nurse, because I meet patients with many and often complex diagnoses. Geriatrics is an exciting medical challenge. Being able to work with the whole picture around the patient is very rewarding, not least because small changes can make such a big difference. It is together with engaged colleagues, a strong team spirit, and a pronounced development focus that makes me thrive here at GAVA."

Our Offer

We are a unit where everyday life is filled with both joy and seriousness. Here you will meet patients who need your knowledge, warmth, and professionalism – and you will meet colleagues who support you, laugh together, and provide support when things are tough.

With us, you get:

• A secure introduction with your own supervisor who is an experienced nurse or specialist nurse. After the introduction, you get a mentor who provides the support you need, as well as regular follow-up meetings with your nearest manager.
• The opportunity to be part of a team that collaborates well, takes advantage of each other's strengths, supports one another, and works towards common goals.
• By caring for patients with complex needs, you are given the opportunity to develop your competence and grow in your role as a nurse.
• As new to your profession, you get a mentor and an introduction that makes you feel secure from day one.
• The opportunity to work in improvement and development projects that benefit care for elderly patients.

We are careful to ensure that your working hours are balanced with the rest of your life. Therefore, you have great opportunities to influence your schedule. We offer the 90/10 working time model, which means you work 90 percent but receive 100 percent salary. Most of the 90 percent is scheduled, while a smaller part is flexible and used to cover illness and leave.
