Welcome with your application via the link below. Selection and interviews take place on an ongoing basis and appointments may be made before the final application deadline. Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, functionality, and life experience. Region Uppsala war-allocates all permanent employees based on total defense needs. This means for the individual employee no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure. Before a decision about employment, a check of suspected and burden registers is made regarding all job seekers who in the sought position may work within psychiatric care, rehabilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas covered by facultative register excerpts. This thus applies to all who will work patient-close, even if the work tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the above-mentioned patient groups. This recruitment is carried out entirely by Region Uppsala and we decline telephone calls from recruitment companies and advertising sales representatives.
