About this role
Make a Difference. Every Day.
Are you looking for a workplace where your expertise is valued and teamwork is an essential part of daily work? Then apply to our operations department in Helsingborg! We look forward to welcoming an operating room nurse to an exciting and developmental position.
Our organization values innovation, but above all, we care for each other. We have a great team spirit and enjoy our work! Good teamwork permeates how we work, characterized by commitment, care, and respect both towards patients and colleagues.
Helsingborg Hospital is one of Region Skåne's four acute hospitals. Here, qualified emergency medical care is provided around the clock. The operating department operates 24/7, with approximately 70 percent of activities being emergency-related. We perform a wide range of surgical procedures, both long and short operations. The Helsingborg Operating Department is divided into three sections: orthopedics, surgery (including vascular surgery), and a section containing ear, gynecology/obstetrics, urology, and maxillofacial and dental patients. We have over 130 employees, including anesthesia nurses, operating room nurses, nursing assistants, anesthesiologists, and surgical technicians. The sterile processing department is also part of the operating department.
As an operating room nurse with us, you will have a section affiliation, with some introduction to all sections. During on-call hours, the workplace is divided into two sections: surgery/mixed and orthopedics. This means you work in your section but must be prepared for emergency procedures in other sections. During night shifts, two operating room nurses are on duty, staffing one operating room but with readiness for urgent emergency procedures.
WORK TASKS
We now welcome you seeking a varied and stimulating job where you play a significant role in collaboration with your colleagues in the operating team!
In the role of operating room nurse, you work with pre- and perioperative care. Together with your colleagues, you strive to offer patients the best possible care with warmth, security, and expertise. Additionally, you aim to make patients feel well-cared for before and during surgery. As an operating room nurse, you assist in all types of operations and participate in preparation and follow-up work, such as instrument setup and handling used instruments. In daily work, you also manage a significant portion of medical-technical equipment.
You will plan your work shifts according to an operation-adapted preferred schedule. Work involves day, evening, weekend, and night shifts. We have a work time model based on hours worked during inconvenient times, and when working during such times, you receive work time reduction.
Introduction is individually tailored based on your previous experience. The department offers four study days per year, annual CPR training, and opportunities for trauma training.

We welcome those who are licensed nurses with specialist education in operating room nursing and authorized to practice in Swedish healthcare. Swedish language skills at least equivalent to level C1 on the Council of Europe's scale are required.

We also prefer candidates with good knowledge of the journal systems Orbit and Melior.
We seek someone who wants a job characterized by excitement and variation while maintaining composure, prioritizing tasks, and taking responsibility for providing patients with the best care. Personally, you are confident, flexible, and meticulous. It's important that you have a willingness to take responsibility and provide your own initiatives. You have a desire to develop and learn. You enjoy working in teams and gladly contribute to a joyful work environment, collaboration, and good atmosphere. We hope that being a good ambassador for our values - welcoming, driven, caring, and respectful - is as natural for you as it is for us. Since we are keen to find the right person for the position, great importance will be placed on personal suitability.
