Registered Nurse

The Western Uusimaa wellbeing services county is strengthening its child welfare institutional care services and opening two new units in Veikkola, Kirkkonummi, forming the Lamminjärvi children's home. Both units have 7 special-level places for children aged 13-17. One of the units is profiled to care for children with severe substance abuse symptoms and the other for children with severe psychological symptoms. In addition to the child welfare service manager acting as the unit head, the staff will consist of UAS-qualified instructors, a registered nurse, basic qualification level instructors, and a shared occupational therapist for the units. We also employ a cook-food service worker who takes care of the units' catering, and cleaning services are responsible for cleaning, so the care and education staff can focus on the care and educational tasks of the children. As a registered nurse, your duties essentially include the care and educational tasks of the children placed in the unit as a member of a multidisciplinary team and as an expert in your field. Another significant task is to act as the person responsible for medication therapy according to the unit's medication therapy plan, who also manages the staff's medication permit processes as a receiver of evidence and exams.
