Psychiatric Clinic, Värnamo Hospital
Summer Job 2026 - Work with the best team in the 24-hour psychiatric care unit at Värnamo Psychiatric Clinic! A summer job that means you help ensure someone's summer. You provide security for the patient, but also secure your own future through the experience a summer job provides. Warm welcome to us!
Nursing Role
The Psychiatric 24-hour ward has 15 care places + 1 place for SI - voluntary admission for patients 18 years and older with acute mental health issues in general psychiatry and psychosis care. We work in teams with continuous improvements of daily work and its content. We also work salutogenically and strive for an evidence-based and patient-centered approach. As a nurse with us, you lead and plan nursing care both independently and in a team where the patient is an equal partner. You are part of patient safety work and participate in developing nursing work and the unit's continuous improvement efforts.
Summer jobs are time-limited full-time positions. Work hours are scheduled for day, evening, and weekend shifts. Night shifts may also be possible. We need temporary nurses during weeks 24-32. To ensure the best summer planning, we look positively on candidates who can work at least four consecutive weeks during the summer. Orientation occurs in addition to these weeks.
Your Future Workplace
Värnamo Hospital is one of Sweden's largest regional hospitals. Specialized care - both planned and acute - is provided for diseases and injuries that cannot be investigated or treated at healthcare centers. The hospital has approximately 110 care places, which means it is just the right size to offer a pleasant and collaborative environment while providing breadth of operations.
