Avdelningsläkare, Malmin sjukhus - Helsingin kaupunki - Helsingfors, Finland

Helsingin sairaala consists of about 600 beds across three hospitals: Laakso, Malmi, and Suursuo. Malmi has five acute geriatric wards with a total of 124 beds. The hospital operates in connection with the Helsinki University Hospital emergency department; one ward is in the same building, and four are nearby with internal connections. Treatment periods are generally from one to three weeks. The new Malmi hospital project is underway, creating good prospects for development. Helsinki is building a new hospital, family center, and health and well-being center in Malmi, strengthening local services. We are seeking a specialist doctor for a permanent ward doctor position at Helsinki's Malmi hospital. Join as an expert and trainer in a supportive environment. As a ward doctor, you will serve as a medical expert in a multidisciplinary team, participate in patient care, guide residents, and train medical students. The role offers excellent opportunities for comprehensive care of acute geriatric, rehabilitative, and other elderly patients, and working at the interface of primary and specialized care. We collaborate closely with Helsinki city social and health services and HUS's emergency and internal medicine units. We offer good training and development opportunities, supporting participation in courses and specialization in palliative care, dementia, and wound care. Requirements include good experience in ward work and acute geriatric patient care, strong clinical skills, and good interaction and collaboration skills. Experience in supervising residents, interest in development work, and knowledge of the service network are advantageous. Willingness to volunteer for on-call duties evenings and weekends is a plus. The on-call schedule is flexible, predictable, and moderate in volume. We offer an interesting and varied job, extensive training, and development opportunities. As a city employee, you can apply for a rental apartment at Aurora Tower, which is more affordable than market rates, with priority for staff applications. We also promote work-life balance, offering benefits such as Epassi Flex (including sports, culture, commuting, and well-being benefits up to 550 euros annually), a lunch benefit, city bikes, and access to a recreational island. Qualifications include being a licensed doctor in Finland with specialist rights in geriatrics or a related field. Good oral and written Finnish skills and satisfactory Swedish skills are required. The appointee must provide a health check assessment of their ability to perform the duties, and meet vaccination and tuberculosis screening requirements.
