Vacant job

At Övertorneå Health Centre, we work together to provide safe, accessible, and high-quality care to our community. We are an engaged and positive team that collaborates closely, supports each other, and contributes to an open and welcoming work environment.

We are looking for

We are looking for you who are a registered nurse with good knowledge of the Swedish language, at least at level C1. We also expect you to have good computer skills.

It is an advantage if you have specialized education in medicine, geriatrics, or other further education focused on elderly care. Knowledge of Finnish and English is meritorious as it facilitates communication with patients and relatives. We also view positively experience from working on a ward, rural health centre, or municipal home care, where you have developed a good ability to work independently and handle varying care needs.

We place great importance on personal qualities. As a person, you are secure and stable, independent, and structured. You value and see the benefit of collaboration with others.

What you will work with

On the emergency department, we have six care beds, and there you work in a team with an assistant nurse or a registered nurse.

In the role of a registered nurse on the ward, you are responsible for leading and distributing the work regarding patient care. Together with the rest of the staff, you have overall responsibility for the planning, implementation, follow-up, and documentation of both nursing interventions and medical treatment. The work includes standard nursing tasks such as medication treatment, sampling, nursing care, as well as documentation and care planning.

As a registered nurse on the ward, you have a central and dynamic role where you are responsible for receiving patients who need care and treatment during on-call hours. You work closely together with doctors from Kalix Hospital, with support via telephone and digital contact channels, which gives you an important and independent role in the patient flow.

We collaborate with Övertorneå Municipality's health and medical care unit, which means that during certain shifts you may be responsible for the municipality's on-call activities.

• A safe and well-functioning workplace with a competent, engaged, and positive work group. With us, you will work in a operation with a clear future focus, where development, change work, and digitalization are at the center.
