Your Future Workplace The Children's and Youth Clinic provides specialized care to children and young people aged 0-18 years with medical conditions. The clinic consists of a neonatal unit, an acute section with a children's and youth ward and pediatric emergency care, a children's outpatient clinic, and day care. With us, you get the benefits of a smaller hospital with a personal and close feeling while we provide high-quality care and treatment. The regional hospital is located in a beautiful area near central Kalmar with good transportation options. The neonatal unit receives children born prematurely or who need extra supervision. We collaborate with the labor ward and postpartum care and work with zero separation, where the goal is for mother and child not to be separated during hospitalization. On the unit with approximately 35 staff members, we strive to maintain high competence and always work with a focus on the family's right to be involved in the care of their child. Our commitment to the family is strong, and we aim for the minimal possible separation between child and parents throughout the entire care chain. The family is at the center and should receive the individualized care and specific attention to which they are entitled and which they need. Within neonatal care, continuous development and improvement work is ongoing, so if you are interested in this, you will thrive with us. In addition, during 2028 we will move to new, fresh facilities! At our workplace, we have a learning climate where we exchange knowledge and experience. We practice a family-focused approach and mindset, where the family around the child is a natural part of the care work, and care takes place in close collaboration with the child's guardians. Our goal is to provide individualized care to each child based on the child's needs. All staff members are equally valuable in the team. We believe it is important to provide good treatment, create participation and trust. Working hours at the children's clinic include day, evening, and night shifts.
