Our 1,800 employees work with close-to-home care and health in Uppsala County. We offer a wide range of services within primary care. Our patients meet us at Region Uppsala's own primary care centres or within habilitation services, and we provide advice by phone via 1177. Education, research, and development are important to us as we tailor our offerings based on the needs of the residents. We already offer mobile teams, video visits, and smart e-services.

Welcome to Gimo Primary Care Centre with subsidiaries! We are now looking for a Medical Secretary to join our team. We offer a permanent position at 90% with a start date to be agreed upon.

Your Role

As a Medical Secretary with us, you will have a varied and meaningful role where you are a key person in the operations.

In addition to this work, you perform important administrative functions such as:

• Working with the HSA catalog

• Invoice management
• IT support
• Other administrative tasks that contribute to the smooth operation of the business.

You will become part of a larger context within primary care where collaboration between primary care centres takes place, including regarding dictation transcriptions. We also offer regular joint training days to strengthen your competence and development. With us, you will work in an environment where we are engaged in our mission, knowledgeable in our profession, and always caring in our meetings with both patients and colleagues.

Your Competence

We are looking for you who are trained as a Medical Secretary and want to contribute to a business where quality and reception are in focus, with experience in appointment administration. You have worked as a Medical Secretary for at least one year within primary care. As a person, you are meticulous, structured, and methodical, self-initiating, flexible, and adaptable to change. Great importance is placed on personal suitability.

You have a good ability to prioritize and thrive in a role where tasks vary. To thrive with us, it is important that you appreciate meeting people and want to provide high-quality service. You treat both patients and colleagues in a respectful and caring manner, and you actively contribute to good cooperation and a positive work environment.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences. Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defence. This entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure. Prior to decisions on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to mainly involve work with the aforementioned patient groups. This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
