Department A4 is an acute somatic care unit. With us, you meet and care for patients who need both acute and planned postoperative care with a focus on upper and lower gastro-, thoracic, vascular, urology, ENT, and oncological surgery patients. The department has 18 care beds and, if needed, two overflow beds. With us you get variety in both pace and work tasks and have the opportunity to become both well-rounded and specialized in acute somatic healthcare. Your work tasks You work together with the nurse in your care team close to the patients, responsibly and evidence-based in accordance with our routines. Together you identify risks, assess, take action, and evaluate the patient's various care needs. Common work tasks with us are pre- and postoperative care and include, among other things, vital signs monitoring (NEWS), blood glucose checks, monitoring and follow-up of fluid and nutrition documentation, specimen collection, wound and stoma dressing changes, drain management, catheter placement and more. You support patients in their daily care, such as personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, and ensure that they feel safe and well prepared for examinations and operations. You play a central role in creating a good care environment. You document your work in the TakeCare medical record system. You also contribute to the department functioning smoothly by restocking supplies, making beds, and serving meals. Who are you? We are looking for you with an approved nursing assistant education. Since nursing assistant is a protected title, you need to provide a certificate from Socialstyrelsen, or alternatively a service certificate that makes you covered by Socialstyrelsen's transitional provisions and allows you to use the title until June 30, 2033. It is a merit if you have experience from acute care or surgical care. Good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is important in your patient interactions and for collaboration in the department. Since teamwork is an important part of your work, you have a good ability to collaborate with others by being attentive and adapting to what the situation requires. You are an engaged and flexible person who, together with your colleagues, contributes to the development of the organization and creates a pleasant work environment. The work suits both you who are a newly trained nursing assistant and you who have previous experience. We need you whether you want to work full-time or part-time and whether you want day/evening, rotating, or night shift only. We offer you individually adapted training.
