Are you interested in working in rural areas with developmental work tasks? We are currently seeking a nurse for our health center. Arvidsjaur Health Center is a distinctive rural health center with dedicated and supportive colleagues and a forward-thinking approach to developing care with the patient at the center. In the heart of Lapland, you will find a calm and secure place where you have the freedom to explore and discover magnificent nature among sparkling lakes, snow-capped mountain peaks, and deep forests. Those who have moved to Arvidsjaur municipality have primarily fallen in love with the nature, the people, and the quality of life that exists here. What we are looking for We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing at C1 level and computer skills. It is meritorious if you have specialist training as a district nurse, or education and experience working with your own practice within asthma/COPD, hypertension management, diabetes, heart failure, and/or blood pressure. Previous experience working at a health center, with coordination, or with primary mental health issues is also meritorious. We place great emphasis on personal qualities. You are self-directed, proactive, and well-organized. The health center consists of cross-functional competencies that all work together with the patient at the center, a working method that requires good collaboration skills from staff. What you will work with Arvidsjaur Health Center is a rural health center with a doctor's office, district nurse, nurse, and assistant nurse practice, a psychosocial team with counseling services, maternal and child health care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, foot care, as well as laboratory and X-ray services. In addition, we also have 24-hour operations with an emergency clinic and a general medical ward with 6 beds. The health center also houses an ambulance station that partially works integrated into our operations. At the clinic, we work in teams around patients. In the team, you work as a nurse together with a doctor, assistant nurse, ward administrator/medical secretary, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist with the patient at the center. In primary care, we are the hub of the patient's care and we work with a focus on continuity; therefore, care coordination and fixed care contacts are central. The tasks included in the work as a clinic nurse include, among other things, advice, digital and by phone, coordination and booking, emergency clinic services, and clinic visits. During scheduled clinic hours, you handle things such as wound dressing changes, care of central catheters, central access devices and stomas, as well as medication administration. You also have open clinic hours where you meet and assess patients with newly occurring complaints. As a nurse in primary care, you are also responsible for annual check-ups and follow-up of patients with our most common diagnoses. All nurses have follow-up visits for hypertension, and you will also have the opportunity to specialize in, for example, diabetes, asthma/COPD, heart failure, or anticoagulation.
