Read more about the benefits and perks we offer at Närhälsan: Link to our website About the Work Your responsibilities at the health center span a broad range and include general medicine where you meet patients of all ages and in all situations. You work in a health-promoting, advisory, and treatment capacity in first-line care, both by phone, home visits, digital care visits, and at the clinic. The work involves both acute and planned activities. You work largely independently with your own diabetes patient clinic where you triage, treat, and follow up with patients. Close collaboration occurs with your colleagues on the unit and across professions in the team, as well as with other actors such as home care and specialist care. Together with the health center management, you are responsible for developing and advancing the operations. Educating future colleagues is an important and rewarding part of our mission, so mentoring students is also part of your role at the health center. About You You are a licensed nurse with a postgraduate qualification in Diabetes of at least 15 higher education credits. Previous experience as a Diabetes Nurse and/or working in regional primary care is meriting, but we also welcome newly graduated nurses. We seek someone who takes initiative in their work and is comfortable making independent decisions. You are thorough, have good problem-solving abilities, and can effectively prioritize your tasks. You meet many patients in this role, so it's important that you are approachable, attentive, and have a desire to help others. We also believe you enjoy teamwork and have a natural ability to collaborate with colleagues and other contacts in your work. You communicate well both verbally and in writing, and are an engaged and good listener in both digital meetings and clinic visits. We appreciate your interest in digitalization and business development. A professional approach and good conduct toward customers, patients, and colleagues is a given for you. We also see that you embody Närhälsan's core values: Reliable, Considerate, and Innovative. Other Information Business travel occurs; a B-category driver's license is required. Interviews at the unit will be held on an ongoing basis. Welcome with your application! About the Recruitment Process Selection is done in two stages. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who call relevant candidates for a phone interview. The recruiting manager then makes a second selection of applicants and invites them to an interview at the health center. We use competency-based interviews, which means answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe situations as concretely as possible and try to avoid generalizing answers – this helps us understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the outcome was.
