We are the Orthopedic and Surgical Department at Kungälv Hospital, located in our beautiful facilities on the second floor. More about us Just over 5 years ago, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern hospital ward buildings. The department has 28 patient beds, where all patients have their own room including a bathroom. The environment is fresh and easy to work in. The department focuses on a broad range of orthopedic and surgical care, both acute and planned. We care for patients with acute conditions following trauma, accidents, and illnesses. Patients with infections and pain issues are also treated in the department. From Monday to Friday, one of our teams is dedicated to orthopedic patients who are receiving new shoulder, knee, or hip prostheses. Our goal is to continuously develop and improve our operations and to always strive to become even better when it comes to patient safety, patient satisfaction, and work environment. We are committed to maintaining a good working climate, a safe environment, and close collaboration on both good and less good days. Your future colleagues are a wonderful group who are caring towards both patients, relatives, and each other – together we make the department a place where everyone can thrive. Qualifications We are looking for you who are a nursing assistant and have an interest in working in acute care. It is an advantage if you have experience in orthopedic and/or surgical care. What can we offer? With us, you will work days, evenings, and weekends with competent and wonderful colleagues. The work is varied and challenging; no day is like the other! Who are we looking for? You enjoy challenges, have the ability to make quick decisions, and can handle acute situations calmly and methodically. For you, good collaboration skills, joy in working in a team, and a positive attitude towards both patients and colleagues are a given. It is also important that you can work independently.
