Vacant job

Welcome to join a team that values each other and has fun together!

We provide highly specialized care in gynecology, contributing to an improved quality of life for our patients.

Our Offer

For life moving forward. Region Östergötland has high ambitions and a responsible mission. It is about health and care, the development of our region, and the people who live and visit here. We want to continue to be at the forefront with care, research, and education. This means daring to think new thoughts – and having the best employees. Therefore, we offer unique opportunities for further learning and invest in modern environments with efficient systems and tools. Many of us meet patients and relatives, while others create the conditions for vital interventions. Here, fantastic people work towards the same goal – to make a real difference, and for life moving forward.

At our gynecological ward in Linköping, we place great value on high quality and appropriate care. This is to meet the need for gynecological care for our inpatients, our round-the-clock emergency services, and abortion services. We have a high staffing level of nurses to meet this need. In practice, this means you will never work alone as a nurse, there will always be a more experienced colleague available when you are new, and you will not work nights during your initial period.

Please read about our career ladder for nurses and your benefits with us; here you will also find information regarding regulations concerning salaries and allowances.

Job Description

On the ward, we work in pair care, which is a close and important collaboration between a nurse and an assistant nurse. Each care team has up to seven patients whom we care for together, with the patient's best interest as the focus. As a nurse, you are responsible for ensuring our patients receive the right care in every given situation. Collaboration with different professions is important, and as a nurse, you have a leading role in the daily work. Daily tasks in the care team include basic and specific care, medication administration, NEWS checks, ward rounds, wound care, nutrition, patient admission and discharge, mobilization, and preparations for treatment, among others.

In the evenings, on weekends, and at nights, we have an emergency reception at the ward. At the emergency reception, we receive, prepare, and assist with examinations, as well as cases involving sexualized violence.

During the day, an experienced nurse is on site as a coordinator in addition to the care team.

After a while, when you are comfortable in your role, you will begin working as an on-call nurse, work nights, and serve as a coordinator, receiving further training in these areas.

As a nurse with us, you need to be responsible and curious, with a talent for good communication and collaboration.

The Team

Our team consists of nurses, assistant nurses, specialist nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, counselors, operating room planners, staffing coordinators, development managers, research nurses, and contact nurses.

We have experienced nurses as coordinators and on-call nurses to ensure the availability of experienced staff on site at all hours of the day and night, as well as to meet the medical needs of our patients.

We actively work with working environment, development, and well-being. Every Monday we have training, reflection with a counselor and priest, or APT (Work Environment Meeting) in the afternoon.

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. Previous experience working in inpatient care is meritorious but not a requirement. Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.

Since you work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

We work closely together and need good communication to successfully solve the tasks we face in everyday life. Therefore, this position suits you who thrive with collaboration, are receptive, and are communicative towards colleagues, patients, and relatives.
