About the role

You are the hub for the residents' healthcare services and work to provide quality of life. You are responsible for ensuring that medical prescriptions are followed. You regularly conduct risk assessments and follow-ups to ensure high quality in operations.

Collaboration and support

You are part of a team with care staff, nurses, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. An important role for you is to coach and educate the care staff so that together you can give each resident the best possible life. In this role, you work closely with the facility's group leaders who are responsible for the care staff. Our group leaders also coach and work together with the teams in daily operations.

We invest in leadership development for you as a nurse. A course we can offer you is "Leading without being a manager".

Getting to know the residents

Understanding the residents' wishes and noticing small changes in their health and medical conditions are often crucial for correct assessments and decisions.

Clear routines

To create security and clarity for you as a nurse, there is comprehensive support in the form of practical and easy-to-implement routines, policy documents, and checklists. Our quality management system is called Qualimax and is industry-leading.

As a new nurse with us, you will participate in our digital introduction program together with your mentor to ensure you receive a clear introduction with the goal of quickly getting into work and our routines.
