Urology Surgical Ward, Vejle Hospital, offers a varied work week. We are seeking 1 nurse for a permanent position and 1 nurse for a 1-year temporary position.

In the Urology Surgical Inpatient Ward you as a nurse have a function both in the inpatient ward, in day surgery, in the receiving unit and in the acute outpatient clinic. We are seeking 1 nurse for a permanent position and 1 nurse for a 1-year temporary position. Both positions involve mixed shifts, primarily day and evening, as well as work every 3rd weekend, which is a benchmark for Sygehus Lillebælt.

Currently we work regularly every 4th weekend, with some additional weekend days.

We offer you a structured introduction program that will ensure you gain broad knowledge of the specialty and its functions, so that during your first year you will have a role in most units. It will give you a varied and versatile workweek.

Our inpatient ward consists of the following units

Inpatient Ward

Acute outpatient clinic

Receiving unit

Day surgery department

Catheter removal program

The positions are 37 hours/week, but you will, at your own request, have the opportunity to reduce your hours after an introductory period.

There are certain functions that have opening hours from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, so you should expect to work 10-hour shifts on some days.

It should be noted that a large part of patient activity is reduced during school holidays, Christmas and public holidays.
