About this role
Make a difference. Every day.
Do you want to help create a safe environment for new nurses while simultaneously developing patient-centered care? Then the role of Nursing Leader in the Cardiology Department is for you!
The Cardiology Department and Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) currently have 16 post-operative care beds and 8 cardiac intensive care beds. Additionally, we have a day care unit with 6 places where we receive elective patients with cardiological diagnoses. We primarily care for patients with arrhythmias and heart failure, as well as patients with coronary artery diagnoses. We experience a high patient flow with admissions both from the emergency department and directly to us via ambulance.
We are a large team of approximately 80 employees, many of whom alternate between CICU, post-operative care, PCI lab, day care, and pacemaker surgery. We also have close collaboration with our cardiology outpatient clinic. Here, you will find a dynamic environment where professional development is a natural part of everyday life.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The role of Nursing Leader is not an office job; you lead by being present in clinical work, at the patient's side.
With us, you will be one of two Nursing Leaders tasked with supporting colleagues and creating a safe working environment, especially for our new nurses, nursing assistants, and those with less experience. This work is best conducted in the care setting, at the bedside, close to daily clinical activities.
You serve as a resource and sounding board in the clinical everyday life for colleagues and new hires. A natural part of your job is to provide feedback on nursing practices in an inspiring and humble manner. Based on current nursing situations, you sometimes initiate reflective conversations and contribute to learning in the moment. You are a role model who demonstrates how we can collectively create safe care and high patient safety.
Since your working method involves being actively engaged in clinical work, you identify areas for development in nursing care and contribute to the creation of routines, guidelines, and working methods. You work closely with unit managers and quality and patient safety representatives, where the development of employees and the department is the focus. Your role as a Nursing Leader is combined with clinical nursing work on the ward.
Evening, night, and weekend shifts are required.
QUALIFICATIONS
You who are applying are a licensed nurse with the authority to practice within Swedish healthcare. Additionally, you have language skills in Swedish that meet at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe's language scale. You have several years of work experience as a clinical nurse and are confident in your professional role. Your pedagogical skills are important, as is your ability to express yourself well in both speech and writing. We consider it an advantage if you are a specialist-trained nurse, have a master's degree in nursing, and/or previous experience in nursing leadership and quality assurance of nursing work. Additionally, work experience in cardiology is a merit.
As a person, you are structured, inspiring, and have a genuine interest in developing care with the patient in focus. You are a skilled clinician who sees the whole picture and is professional in all interactions. You are comfortable and adept at mentoring, instructing, and coaching colleagues based on where they are in their development. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
In this recruitment process, we apply continuous selection. We warmly welcome your application. We look forward to getting to know you!
