Are you a nursing assistant interested in developing in your professional role? Welcome to Department 41 Stroke Unit and Neurorehab, which is part of the Neurocenter at Sunderby Hospital. The care ward has inpatient beds for neurological care and rehabilitation and is located in accessible premises on floor 4. Adjacent to the ward are the Stroke Rehabilitation Team (SHR), Stroke Clinic, Baclofen Clinic, and Rehabilitation Medicine Clinic.
We are looking for
We are seeking a trained nursing assistant with a positive attitude who enjoys working in a team. You may be new to the profession or experienced—what matters most is an interest in working with stroke and other neurological diseases/injuries. With us, you will develop and learn from skilled colleagues! We offer you a secure start through an individually tailored introduction with an assigned mentor and support from experienced colleagues.
What you will work with
As a nursing assistant in the ward, you will care for patients throughout the entire care chain, from the acute phase through rehabilitation. Work in the ward is based on clear procedures grounded in the National Board of Health and Welfare's National Guidelines for Stroke Care. The Stroke Unit is part of the alert chain called Save the Brain, which means the ward receives patients for thrombolytic treatment.
Department 41 consists of two teams, the Stroke Unit and Neurorehab. Our nursing assistants prioritize patient safety and perform basic care with a rehabilitation focus. In both the Stroke Unit and Neurorehab, we work in multiprofessional teams including nursing assistants, nurses, doctors, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, speech therapists, and rehabilitation instructors. We are a committed team working with a focus on person-centered care and implementing a rehabilitative approach in daily practice. We have good cohesion and an open climate in the ward.
Neurorehab has Norrbotten's highest rehabilitation level and is quality certified according to CARF. Here we care for and rehabilitate patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, among others.
What we offer you
You will receive competence development through Stroke Competence Training and Rehabilitation Certification.
