About this role
Make a difference. Every day.
Are you a nurse looking to work in a modern and flexible way? We are now seeking individuals who want to join us on our journey to further develop acute hospital care at home!
Skåne University Hospital (Sus) Hospital at Home is operated by the Department of Acute Care and Internal Medicine in collaboration with the Department of Infectious Diseases. This care model allows patients who wish to receive acute specialist care to be offered treatment in their own homes.
The inspiration for this approach comes from other countries where the "Hospital at Home" concept is successfully utilized. Studies show several positive effects for patients treated at home, such as improved eating and sleeping habits, increased activity levels, and a reduced risk of acute confusion or falls.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
As we have colleagues on parental leave, we are now welcoming three nurses for fixed-term employment for one year, with the possibility of extension.
Instead of patients being admitted to a care facility, you, as a nurse, will visit patients at home to conduct assessments and provide care that is typically delivered in a hospital ward. Patients are monitored remotely using digital tools to ensure quick access to care and the ability to be admitted if their condition worsens.
You will be part of a competent team of nurses, doctors, and rehabilitation specialists, but the role involves independent work with patients in their homes. In addition to nursing assessments and interventions, you will also support patients in understanding how digital tools function.
Working hours will be scheduled for day and evening shifts, including weekdays and weekends, with no night shifts.

QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for a licensed nurse authorized to practice within the Swedish healthcare system. Proficiency in Swedish at least at the C1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required. For this position, prior experience as a nurse is necessary, and you must hold a valid B driver's license.
Experience in any of the following areas is advantageous: internal medicine, infectious diseases, inpatient care, municipal healthcare, or primary care. Since one of your primary tools will be digital aids, familiarity with these tools and the ability to explain technical aids in a pedagogical manner is viewed positively.
As a person, you are confident in your professional role and have the ability to make independent decisions. You are someone who sees opportunities rather than obstacles. You are driven by new challenges, can adapt quickly, and have an open mind for learning new things. Furthermore, we value a respectful and humble approach towards patients and colleagues, and you are a team player who contributes to a collaborative environment. Personal suitability will be of great importance.
Does this sound like an exciting opportunity? We welcome you to apply to join our wonderful team!
In this recruitment process, we are conducting ongoing selection, so please submit your application today! We look forward to getting to know you!
