About this role
Make a difference. Every day.
Are you a dedicated nurse who is confident in your professional role and wants to work in ambulance care? Then you are warmly welcome to apply to us!
The Ambulance Operations Area (VO) is responsible for ambulance services in northwestern and southwestern Skåne, with ambulance stations in eleven locations. The ambulance care in Region Skåne has developed into a regionally equal operation with collaboration across previous county borders, seamless dispatching, shared treatment guidelines, and joint professional development. The operations area comprises approximately 380 employees.
The administration is undergoing changes and developments in several areas such as competency enhancement, research, education, and quality assurance, which brings positive effects for both patients and employees.
JOB DESCRIPTION
We are currently seeking nurses and ambulance nurses for our teams in Helsingborg, Landskrona, and Ängelholm. These positions are permanent with a start date in April.
The ambulance is often the first on the scene, and the intervention can be crucial for the patient. As an ambulance nurse, you will work with pre-hospital emergency care, encountering patients of all ages who have suffered from acute illness or injury. You will assess and treat patients at home, at the scene of the accident, and during transport to healthcare facilities. The role of an ambulance nurse is qualified and independent. The focus is on providing good care and compassion in patient interactions. You will work in a team and always travel with an ambulance technician, another nurse, or a specialist-trained nurse.
Our operations run around the clock, every day of the year.
As a new employee with us, you will receive an introduction lasting approximately seven weeks, tailored to your previous experience and competencies.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare. You have language skills in Swedish that correspond to at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe's language scale. A valid B driver's license and good driving experience are required for the position. A C1 driver's license or a B driver's license obtained before July 1996 is an advantage for the role. We prefer that you have specialist training in ambulance care or other relevant specialist training, but this is not a requirement. Additionally, we see it as desirable that you have work experience in emergency care.
Working in an ambulance requires personal maturity and good judgment. We value that you are confident and well-established in your role as a nurse. You are engaged in your work, and your willingness to contribute to the development of the operations is of great value. The current ambulance care operations impose significant medical and technical demands, as well as demands for flexibility. One moment you may be working under great pressure, and the next you have all the time in the world. Most of the time, you and your colleague are welcomed and desired, but there are also occasions when your presence is, for some reason, unwelcome. But one thing is certain - you make a difference every day for the citizens of Region Skåne. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
The recruitment process consists of an interview, and if you progress to the next step, you will be invited to a physical test. The introduction starts on April 26, 2020.
In this recruitment, we apply ongoing selection. We warmly welcome your application today; we look forward to getting to know you!
