About this role
Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.
We are part of the Center for Movement Organs, which is a regional clinic with operations in Umeå and Skellefteå, employing approximately 270 staff members. Together with the Surgery and Orthopedics Clinic in Lycksele, we are responsible for all orthopedics in the region.
The orthopedic care department is facing an exciting development this autumn with close collaboration with Umeå University. We will be opening our Clinical Education Department (KUA). Training for students and staff has always been close to our hearts, and we are now further developing this. As a result, the orthopedic care department will become a unit with a unique blend of highly specialized care that meets clinical education. It will be an exciting, educational, and multifaceted workplace. If this sounds interesting, please read on.
Our orthopedic department in Umeå has up to 32 care places, and we work cross-professionally in care teams around patients aged between 18 and 100+. The department consists of three sections where we form nursing and medical teams to create specialized expertise and enhance patient safety. Additionally, one of the teams will include 4 KUA places for students.
The facilities we operate in are newly renovated and tailored to ensure our operations function optimally. The orthopedic care department is a workplace where we continuously strive to improve and maintain a good working environment, a place where we care for one another and support each other across and between professional groups, fostering an open climate among employees and managers.
The orthopedic care department is a workplace where we recognize the importance of professional development. We offer opportunities to participate in ongoing internal training at the clinic as well as the chance to observe in other operations. We are now seeking an occupational therapist to join our team.
If this sounds interesting, we look forward to meeting you to share more about our operations and to learn more about you.
