Would you like to work with infectious diseases, vaccination, and research in an organization with high expertise and a strong team spirit? With us, you'll get varied work with your own patient meetings, close collaboration with colleagues, and excellent opportunities for development.
Our Offering
Moving Forward. Region Östergötland has high ambitions and a responsible mission. It's about health and care, about our region's development, and about those who live and stay here. We want to continue to be at the forefront with healthcare, research, and education. That means daring to think new – and having the best employees. Therefore, we offer unique opportunities for continued learning and invest in modern environments with efficient systems and tools. Many of us meet patients and loved ones; others create the conditions for vital interventions.
We're looking for you who are a nurse or specialist nurse with an interest in infectious diseases and research. We offer stimulating work where you're part of a competent team but also have your own patient visits within areas such as HIV, hepatitis, immunodeficiency, MRSA, vaccination, and tuberculosis.
As a new nurse with us, you'll receive an introduction tailored to your needs, and we view continued professional development positively if you want to deepen your knowledge within one of our different work areas. The role involves being comfortable working independently, while also collaborating closely with colleagues.
Please read our career ladder for nurses and about your benefits with us; you'll also find information about regulations regarding salary and compensation.
Job Description
A typical day can include both telephone consultations and physical patient visits at the clinic. External visits occur primarily with a focus on hepatitis elimination. You'll have responsibility for your own clinic visits, clinical assessments, and patient contacts, but also contribute to the team's shared work.
At the infectious disease clinic, seven nurses, one nursing assistant, and four healthcare administrators work today. The clinic also has a physiotherapist, dietitian, and social worker who can be brought in as needed. We have good collaboration and high expertise, and we actively work with knowledge transfer to develop together. Our goal is to always provide the best possible care with the patient at the center.
