Geriatric Care Unit (VE) at Skåne University Hospital is part of the Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Memory Disorders and Geriatrics (NRMG) department. We provide care, research, and education for elderly health. The Geriatric Care Unit encompasses an acute geriatric ward located in Malmö, as well as consultation services focused on wound treatment. The unit also conducts geriatric research and development activities.
Our largest research unit is GÅS (Good Aging in Skåne), a major national study supported by the Social Department, where randomly selected research participants aged 60 and above are followed over an extended period. GÅS has a team in Malmö and a Mobile Team covering Hässleholm, Ystad, and Eslöv.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
We are seeking a new medical secretary and key piece of our mobile research team. The team also includes a nurse, nursing assistant, test leader, and physician. In addition to these professionals, the unit has a large number of researchers affiliated with it.
As a medical secretary, you have a driving role as the spider in the web, with many tasks significantly different from a traditional secretarial position. You will work only minimally in the Melior and PASIS systems, as most work consists of other administrative tasks. An important part is to speak with research participants by phone to motivate them to participate and come to the reception. Additionally, you will help participants fill out questionnaires and review and complement this data.
In the mobile team, work alternates between Hässleholm, Ystad, and Eslöv. The duration at each location varies between six months and two years. To facilitate commuting, it is advantageous to live in an area with good train connections. The employer covers travel expenses and part of travel time, but you should be prepared for occasionally long travel times.
QUALIFICATIONS
We welcome candidates with an approved education in Healthcare Administration (80 p KY or 400 p YH) or medical secretary training. Previous experience in administrative work, preferably in research, is also merit-worthy.
As the role involves significant contact with research participants, it is important that you are comfortable speaking with participants both in person and by phone. A compassionate approach is central to making participants feel welcome and wanting to return.
As a person, you are positive, proactive, and meticulous in your work. We seek someone flexible with a good ability to prioritize different tasks. You should also be able to adapt your work methods when circumstances require. We place great importance on personal suitability.
Does this sound like an exciting challenge? We look forward to getting to know you! We are applying continuous selection in this recruitment. Welcome to apply today!
