Nurse at Special Housing in Sala

Sala kommun · Full-time

sala, Sweden

We are undergoing a transformation in municipal healthcare - Do you want to be part of it? Currently, the municipality's healthcare is undergoing a transformation that is part of the national reform aimed at creating a more "Good and Close Care" model. This is an ongoing change that affects how municipalities plan, organize, and deliver their assignments. The transformation aims to make healthcare more person-centered, coordinated, health-promoting, and preventive. In Sala, we have good conditions for collaboration as we have two health centers, Close Care Teams, and proximity to our collaborating partners at Sala Hospital department 1 and the Medical Clinic. Our ambition is to solve what arises together and in dialogue. We are now seeking a colleague for Jakobsbergsgården, as our regular nurse Karolina will start working nights. Jakobsbergsgården is also our on-call hub and is centrally located in Sala. Here you meet patients with multiple diagnoses/diseases simultaneously and who affect each other and require coordination. Jakobsbergsgården also has a short-term unit and two departments for elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions. Cognitive diseases are common and require a structured and person-centered approach with a focus on interaction. If you have an interest in how cognition, i.e., memory, and how the ability to perceive and understand the world is affected by dementia diseases, that is an advantage. If you enjoy working and independently planning your day, this is a position that suits you. If you want to work with evidence in care and support, lead staff, and grow in your supervisor role, you are welcome to join us. If you have limited experience in municipal healthcare, it is no obstacle, as we will provide you through our introduction with what you need to get into the work. In dialogue and together, we will make a plan that works. In Sala Municipality, active employee engagement is an important part that creates both expectations and opportunities. This means we desire commitment from you and that you contribute with your expertise. In return, you are offered support, scope for action, and a safe workplace. In the nursing group, we look at the whole picture and avoid working in silos. We check in through short weekly meetings with our coordinator Maria. As a nurse with us, you become part of an engaged and competent work group where we individually and together take responsibility. In the nursing group, there are colleagues with different experiences and competencies, which means we complement each other well. We also have two competent and experienced nursing assistants in our work group. We support each other, share knowledge, and help each other out. You are warmly welcome to apply if what is described feels right for you. Job duties As a nurse in special housing, you are responsible for approximately 20 patients in a patient care assignment (PAS). You plan your day based on given frameworks and resources and adapt to new conditions when the operation requires it. You make your assessments based on healthcare guidelines and regulations and plan, implement, follow up, and evaluate healthcare interventions for patients with varying disease patterns. Evening and weekend shifts are also part of your assignment: 2 weekday evenings every 8 weeks and two weekends per 16 weeks. In Sala, two nurses work on call (evening, weekend, and night) and cover the municipality's special housing, disability services housing, social psychiatry, and home care patients. Qualifications We are looking for someone who takes responsibility, has a collaboration focus, and contributes to an operation where we support each other – always with the patient's best in mind! Someone who prefers to find what is right and good rather than wrong but does not shy away if obstacles/problems arise. You are a licensed nurse and preferably with experience in municipal healthcare. It is a merit if you have specialist training in cognitive disease, diabetes, or other training in elderly care. You find it easy to collaborate with others and are accustomed to adapting to the situations that arise. You are engaged and make wise decisions, always with the patient's goals in focus. With your ability to coordinate, plan, organize, prioritize, and supervise, you contribute to safe and effective care. Beyond this, you have a driver's license category B and have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing.
