We are a force that brings together, holds, and develops the region. Within Region Västernorrland, we are all part of something greater.
About the Operations
The Infectious Disease Clinic is located in Sundsvall and has county-wide responsibility for infectious disease care throughout Västernorrland County. Each year we receive approximately 6,800 patients.
We work with patient-centered care, which means the patient is the focus and more involved in their treatment. We currently have 14 care beds divided between two care teams with registered nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, dietitian, and occupational therapist. The department has only single rooms and isolation rooms with an airlock system.
We are now recruiting registered nurses for daytime work to join our wonderful team for permanent employment, full-time, with start date by agreement.

We offer a wide variety of care which gives you interesting and developmental work.
The Infectious Disease Clinic is an exciting department that in a unique way can give you the opportunity to develop very broad competence, as we treat all patient categories (internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, and sometimes pediatrics). We have continuous training in infectious disease care regarding various infectious diseases. Additionally, we have a specialist nurse who is available most weekdays to support you in daily work.
Work hours are scheduled for day/evening shifts, and you will work 2 out of 5 weekends. There is also the possibility of working every other weekend.
