About this role
We are currently developing the Acute Internal Medicine Clinic at the university hospital - would you like to be a part of it? Welcome to join our team that strives to be the best in acute internal medicine care - we need more talented individuals!
Our Offer
The Acute Internal Medicine Clinic (AIM) was reorganized at the beginning of the year and is now embarking on a journey of development with a new management team characterized by drive, commitment, and a focus on growth.
We aim to grow larger, broader, and excel in what we do, which is why we need to expand our staff and strengthen the clinic with more skilled nursing assistants. We offer a workplace in transition where you can have an impact!
Following the reorganization, AIM consists of:
- Ward B172 Acute Internal Medicine
- MIMA Medical Intermediate Care Unit
- Coagulation Clinic
At AIM, we care for severely ill and complex patients with medical care needs. We treat a wide clientele primarily related to respiratory and circulatory issues, providing broad and applicable knowledge in your professional role.
Common patient groups in ward B172 include heart patients (atrial fibrillation, syncope, chest pain), lung patients (COPD), infection patients (sepsis, pneumonia, influenza), and thromboembolic patients (DVT, pulmonary embolisms).
MIMA is our intermediate care unit where patients requiring a higher level of care than in ward B172 are treated, which places higher demands on the nursing staff and their competencies. Common conditions in MIMA include intoxications, severe sepsis/septic shock, ketoacidosis, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, and more.
The coagulation clinic is connected to patients with thromboembolic diseases. They may have been admitted to ward B172 and subsequently require follow-up care. Outpatient patients may also be referred to the coagulation clinic, often for blood tests, medication follow-up, injections, or planning for surgery or childbirth.
At AIM, there are significant development opportunities for you as a nursing assistant, as we encourage you to rotate to MIMA, which is our higher level of care. We always create an individual plan for when training at MIMA can become relevant. In addition to this career development, there is also the possibility of funded specialist training based on the needs of the organization and the employee's wishes.
At AIM, we work two out of five weekends, and you have the opportunity to influence your own schedule by creating an individual wish list in the scheduling tool Tessa.
Job Description
As a nursing assistant with us, you are a team player within your team, which includes several other professions such as doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. Broad collaboration and good communication are seen as crucial factors for safe and secure care.
Your tasks as a nursing assistant include basic nursing care, with opportunities for further development in blood sampling, catheter placement, wound dressing, and more.
Your onboarding is tailored to the individual and takes place over four weeks.
Team Environment
We strongly value a pleasant atmosphere and good camaraderie, which is why we believe that Friday coffee breaks, regular afterworks, and wonderful summer/winter parties are important and enjoyable aspects of our operations!
About You
We are looking for a trained nursing assistant with an interest in medical care, emergency care, and care for elderly patients. Experience in these areas is an advantage!
A specialist education in a relevant field is also meritorious.
As a nursing assistant with us, you will work closely with patients, relatives, and colleagues. Therefore, good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is a requirement for success in this role.
To thrive with us, you should have a genuine interest in helping people in vulnerable situations. You possess good collaborative skills, are attentive and communicative, and treat both patients and colleagues with care and respect.
We seek a team player who appreciates variety and where flexibility is a given. Our daily operations are dynamic and unpredictable, making it important that you can quickly adapt and shift focus when the situation demands it. You have a clinical eye for noticing changes in a patient's status and can assess when to promptly involve a nurse or doctor.
We are currently in an exciting development phase at the Acute Internal Medicine Clinic and would love for you to be a part of this journey. With curiosity, engagement, and positive energy, you will help shape the future of care together with us.
