Job Description
More than 100 employees work here in teams around the patient, with both planned and emergency surgeries around the clock.
You will be an important part in maintaining our high quality and availability in an operation where collaboration, competence, and commitment are at the center. We do not have explicit section-based work but want everyone to have broad competence and readiness to handle on-call work.
You will handle both emergency operations and planned surgeries.
As an operating room nurse, you are responsible for patient care and safety before, during, and after surgical procedures. You prepare the operating room by checking medical technical equipment, arranging sterile instruments, and ensuring that all necessary materials are available.
During surgery, you work closely with the surgeon and assist with the right instrument at the right time, while you are responsible for hygiene and aseptic practices in the operating room. You instrument, ensure the patient is in the correct position, and check that all instruments, compresses, and materials are counted before, during, and after the procedure to guarantee patient safety.
Our operational development is largely based on employees themselves contributing solutions, and responsibility work is distributed proportionally in relation to what the operation prioritizes.
Since we receive students from several different educational programs, mentoring at various levels is part of your responsibility.
Work Team
Each day you work with the patient together with anesthesia nurses, nursing assistants, specialist nursing assistants, anesthesiologists, and surgeons.
The work team is stable and there is enormous experience within all professional categories.
We want you to be willing to contribute to making your colleagues better, and therefore we have high demands on conduct, communication, feedback, and teamwork.
Our systematic workplace health and safety efforts are based on health promotion factors, and we strive for engaged, present leadership, good communication, and high participation.
We are currently in an exciting period where we are getting new, fresh facilities. The renovation is taking place in parallel with our ongoing operations, which will affect our daily work in various ways until everything is completed in 2030.
Feel free to contact our labor union representative from Vårdförbundet if you want to know more about what it's like working here.
