Your Role with Us
At the eye clinic in Halmstad, we have our pediatric outpatient clinic, where we welcome children of all ages from across Halland.
Here, we also care for and examine premature infants and conduct ROP screening using Retcam. As a pediatric ophthalmologist, you will work closely with our orthoptists. We also maintain a strong and collaborative relationship with the pediatric clinics in Region Skåne and Västra Götalandsregionen.

About the Workplace
The eye clinic, with over 100 employees, provides high-quality specialist care at our three locations in Kungsbacka, Varberg, and Halmstad. We offer outpatient services at all three sites, and in Halmstad, we have our own surgical unit with three operating rooms and access to inpatient beds. From Halmstad, we also operate an on-call service for all of Halland, with availability during evenings and weekends.
Annually, we conduct approximately 23,000 medical visits, around 30,000 other healthcare visits, and 1,800 surgeries.
The eye clinic in Halmstad is located in bright and pleasant facilities at the top of the entrance building. Here, resident doctors and experienced eye specialists work in various subspecialties. Our other staff members are well-trained and prepare for medical visits, as well as run their own clinics. Our team includes ophthalmic nurses, surgical nurses, optometrists, orthoptists, nursing assistants, and medical secretaries.
We offer you a pleasant workplace with diverse tasks and opportunities for learning alongside colleagues with high competence. We provide regular training, both externally and internally. It is important to us to maintain a high level of patient safety and to foster good cohesion and a positive, developmental work environment.

We are looking for a licensed physician with specialist competence in pediatric ophthalmology. You are a solution-focused individual with strong collaboration and communication skills. You take responsibility and regard a positive approach towards patients, relatives, and colleagues as a given. Furthermore, we expect you to be structured in your work methods and possess a good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish.
