Akademiska Children's Hospital
Small hearts need great care! We are a small hospital in a large system, and it is in the small things that our greatness lies. Here we have all the expertise a sick child may need, good collaboration, respect and care. We offer a really good introduction for those who are new and many interesting opportunities for development. There is also unexpected joy in what is sometimes very difficult. We take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know that we do a much better job together!
A Secure Start with us
We know that a good introduction makes a big difference. That's why we want to give you a secure start and good opportunities to develop within acute pediatric care. Through our introduction program Secure Start, you will receive a structured introduction with education, training and support in your daily work. The program focuses on the acutely ill child and includes a review of operational guidelines and procedures, S+A CPR for Children, scenario training and reflection. The introduction is also tailored to your previous experience and needs. The introduction program will be offered twice a year, in January and August/September. The first program start will be in January 2027.
Our Operations
The Acute Pediatric Care section consists of acute care ward 95 E, the acute clinic for children and young people, and specialized pediatrics 95 E. On the acute care ward, we care for, treat and evaluate children and adolescents 0–18 years old who need a few days of hospital care. Common patient groups are children with infections, kidney or heart problems. At the acute clinic for children and young people, we receive children and adolescents with acute medical, orthopedic and surgical diseases and injuries. The operation is open 24/7 and the pace varies from day to day. Within specialized pediatrics 95 E, highly specialized investigations and treatments are carried out within our day care flow. We are a committed and multidisciplinary team with the sick child and family at the center. Our work is characterized by collaboration, knowledge exchange and an open climate where we support each other. Patient safety, professional conduct and continuous development are natural parts of everyday life. We place great emphasis on education, reflection and feedback, and work actively to ensure that all employees feel secure and develop in their role.
Your Assignment
As a nurse, you will work either on acute care ward 95 E or at the acute clinic for children and young people. There is also the possibility to rotate between the operations which are located in adjacent facilities. On 95 E you work in a team together with nurses, nursing assistants and physicians. The work is varied and includes typical nursing tasks within acute pediatric care. At the children's acute clinic you work both independently and in a team. Work tasks include care of children and relatives as well as medical interventions and acute management. Patients arrive both walking and by ambulance, and some require immediate intervention in acute rooms.
Your Qualifications
We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse, pediatric nurse or nurse with other specialist education relevant to the operation. Experience with pediatric care and/or work at an acute clinic is an asset. We welcome both you who are new to the profession and you who have more experience and want to continue developing within acute pediatric care.
Your Competence
As a person, you have a great interest in pediatric care and find acute care exciting. You are flexible and adapt easily to new situations. You thrive in an operation where no two days are the same and are curious to learn new things, develop and take on various work tasks.
We Offer
Permanent full-time employment with start date by agreement and introduction through our new introduction program. After completing the introduction as a newly qualified nurse, you will begin KUÅ (clinical development year). If you have at least two years of experience, there is an opportunity to apply for paid specialist education in pediatric and youth nursing. You work either on 95 E, at the children's acute clinic or in a rotation position between the operations. We work according to Akademiska's point system with shifts during day, evening and night. You will receive benefits that make a difference, read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/formaner/).

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operation and would like to see applicants of all genders and with different ethnic backgrounds, abilities and life experiences.
Region Uppsala war-places all permanent employees according to the needs of total defense. This means for the individual employee no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.
Prior to a decision on employment, a check is made of suspicion and burden registers for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and young people or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas covered by optional register extracts. This thus applies to all who will work in patient-facing roles, even if work tasks are currently not intended to mainly involve work with the above-mentioned patient groups.
This recruitment is conducted entirely by Region Uppsala and we decline telephone calls from recruitment companies and advertising sales representatives.Akademiska Children's Hospital
