Make a difference. Every day.

The Orthopedics Business Area (VO) currently consists of three wards, one located in Lund and two in Malmö. The orthopedic ward in Lund is an acute care unit with 21 beds. The ward's profile focuses on acute patients with common orthopedic diagnoses and patients with prosthesis-related infections, where we offer advanced medical and surgical treatment.

At our workplace, we work according to Region Skåne's Competence and Service Model. Lund is home to one of Sweden's sarcoma centers, where our ward contributes high-specialized care and treatment for sarcoma patients from southern Sweden. Our broad competence means you will work with multi-morbid adult patients of varying ages.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Working on an orthopedic ward is varied and rewarding, where no two days are alike. As a nursing assistant (undersköterska), you will handle varied tasks including pre- and post-operative care as well as rehabilitation, giving you the opportunity to develop and take on new challenges. In a cross-professional team, you will work together with doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists with a shared responsibility for the patients. The team also works closely with social workers and pharmacists to ensure a holistic perspective.

The role offers you varied, stimulating, and educational work where you have the opportunity for personal development and training. Since development is important to us, we would appreciate it if you are engaged in the ward's continued development work. As a new employee, you will receive an individually tailored introduction based on your existing competence. Together with an experienced colleague, clinical teacher, nursing manager, and unit manager, you will be guided into your new role. As we value our employees' professional development, we offer you several training days with in-depth lectures in various areas during your employment. As an employer, we offer you flexible working hours and a wellness allowance!
