Job Description
As a nurse in Ward S102, you will work with what matters most – our children and adolescents. You will play a central role in the nursing work and become a key person in the team.
The tasks are varied and include, among other things:
• Leadership and collaboration with multiple professions.
• Medication management, sampling, and educational meals.
• Conversations with patients and parents.
• Collaboration with residences, authorities, and care neighbors.
Workgroup
We are a positive and ambitious team consisting of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, social workers, dietitians, and psychologists. Together, we are responsible for ensuring that the care maintains high quality and is based on the individual patient's needs.
About You
We are looking for a licensed nurse. Experience in psychiatric care or health care for children and adolescents is advantageous but not a requirement. As a nurse, you need to feel comfortable using conversation as a tool and thrive in a varied work pace.
Since you will be in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.
To thrive and fit in with us, your personal qualities are important. For this position, we are looking for a colleague who is self-assured, has the ability to broaden their perspective, understands others' viewpoints, and dares to lead others toward a common goal. The applicant should also enjoy working with relationship-building, as we in the department use ourselves as the primary tool.
