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 emergency medical services? 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 service in Region Skåne has developed into a regionally equal operation with collaboration across former county borders, seamless dispatching, shared treatment guidelines, and joint professional development. The operations area comprises approximately 380 employees.
The administration is undergoing changes and development in several areas such as competency enhancement, research, education, and quality assurance, which brings positive effects for both patients and staff.
JOB DESCRIPTION
We are currently seeking nurses and paramedic nurses for our teams in Helsingborg, Landskrona, and Ängelholm. The 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 a paramedic nurse, you will work with pre-hospital emergency care, encountering patients of all ages who are experiencing acute illness or injury. You will assess and treat patients at home, at the scene of an accident, and during transport to healthcare facilities. The role of a paramedic nurse is qualified and independent. The focus is on providing excellent 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 be offered an introduction lasting approximately seven weeks, tailored to your previous experience and competencies.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare. You must have language skills in Swedish that at a minimum correspond to 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 license obtained before July 1996 is an advantage. We also prefer candidates with specialist training in emergency medical services or other relevant specialist training, although this is not a requirement. Additionally, we value work experience in emergency care.
Working in an ambulance requires personal maturity and good judgment. We appreciate 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 highly valued. Today's ambulance service presents significant medical and technical demands, as well as requirements for flexibility. At one moment, you may work under great pressure, and the next, you may have all the time in the world. Most often, you and your colleague are welcomed and desired, but there are also times when your presence is, for some reason, not wanted. One thing is certain – you make a difference every day for citizens in Region Skåne. Personal suitability is of great importance.
The recruitment process consists of an interview, and if you are selected to proceed to the next step, you will be invited to a physical test. The introduction starts on April 26, 2020.
In this recruitment, we apply continuous selection. We warmly welcome your application today; we look forward to getting to know you!
