Vacant job

The Care and Elderly Services Department is one of Borås City's largest departments. Our health and medical care organization consists of approximately 300 employees distributed across ten health and medical care teams. We work in a team-based and cross-professional manner with the patient's best interests at the forefront.

Are you a registered nurse looking for a developing and meaningful job? We are now recruiting a nurse to the Care and Residential Home at Distansgatan. Distansgatan is a residence focused on Finnish-speaking individuals. Here you will have the opportunity to grow in your role, whether you are a recent graduate seeking your first job as a registered nurse or if you have some experience in the profession.

With us, you will meet patients where they are – in their homes. This is work that requires independence and engagement. We work closely with experienced colleagues within both the nursing group and other professions. In the health and medical care operations, there are good conditions for collaboration and cooperation both within your own team and between teams. We help each other and constantly learn from one another. At the same time, in your role as a nurse, you have great freedom under responsibility to work independently and the opportunity to plan and execute your own work.

When you start your employment with us, you will receive an individually adapted introduction that gives you good prerequisites and a secure and stable start to your new assignment. We also offer mentorship after you have completed your introduction and when the time is right. We know that the opportunity to turn to an experienced and knowledgeable nurse for advice and support is appreciated.

The job responsibilities include assessing, planning, and structuring work for the individual patient and their relatives based on a person-centered approach. You follow up and document according to current legislation. As a nurse, you work independently and have patient responsibility. You work in close cooperation with your colleagues such as nurses, assistant nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation assistants. At the care and residential home, you also collaborate with the unit manager, care staff at the residence, and the ward doctor.

Collaboration with different healthcare providers such as the hospital and health centers is part of everyday life. The job responsibilities include developing the operation and supervising and educating care staff in health and medical care interventions.

We know that the work as a nurse is meaningful, varied, and developing, but also that it can be challenging at times. Therefore, a good work climate is particularly important to us, which we create through well-being, team spirit, and joy in work, and by trusting and supporting each other in daily work.

You are a registered nurse with the eligibility to work in Swedish healthcare, and we would appreciate it if you have had some time to work in your professional role. Distansgatan is a residence targeting Finnish speakers, so we preferably see that you can understand and speak Finnish. Experience working with our target groups is meritorious. You have a good manner of dealing with people, enjoy working with people, and have the desire to make a difference for those we serve. We value that you are confident in yourself and in your nursing role and that you can work independently. You are responsible and engaged in your work, professional in your assessments and decisions, and you adapt easily to changed prerequisites and new information. In the role, you need to have a good overview of current job tasks and interventions; the ability to independently organize and follow up on your work is therefore important.

We place great emphasis on your ability to collaborate and try to find solutions in agreement with all contacts you have, whether it concerns relatives, staff in primary care, inpatient care, or other actors. You have a collegial attitude and contribute to a good atmosphere in the group.

Since the role of a nurse involves leading others, you need to have the ability to explain and guide, educate, and inform in a pedagogical manner. You can express yourself well in Swedish in speech and writing and are familiar with IT-based journal systems.

If you have specialized education in geriatrics, district nursing, dementia, psychiatry, or palliative care, this is meritorious, and a specialist position may become relevant.

We require that you have a B driver's license.

Before an employment offer, an extract from the police criminal record must be presented. As we develop our IT security within Borås City, you must also ensure that you have Freja eID.
