Now there is an opportunity for you as a nurse to apply for a position in ambulance care!
Work in ambulance care is both meaningful and dynamic. When the alarm sounds, staff must be ready quickly, and each assignment presents a new situation and a new patient. The ability to shift pace, create calm, gather information, and make well-founded medical decisions is essential for providing professional care to patients and their families.
Prehospital care requires broad expertise to provide safe and effective care close to residents. Assignments may involve patients of all ages and varying conditions—from acute respiratory and circulatory issues to mental health problems, pain conditions, or childbirth-related situations. Assessment, examination, and treatment take place on-site or during transport.
In your daily work, you will work closely with your colleague in the ambulance, but also in collaboration with other professionals. Ambulance nurses and ambulance care providers are part of interprofessional teams together with physicians, rescue services, police, and other vital community stakeholders.
Positions are located in Nybro, which is part of the southern management area together with Emmaboda and Torsås. This means that work may also occur at these stations. The ambulance in Nybro is staffed 24/7, which means shifts during day/evening/night/weekends.
About You

You are an experienced driver and hold a class B driver's license. A class C/C1 driver's license will be required for employment, and if you don't have one already, the license will be covered by us.
The profession requires good physical capacity. To be employed as a nurse in ambulance care, you must pass fitness tests, which will also be conducted every other year.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability, teamwork ability, and the ability to create security in complex situations.
