We follow the medical development in order to provide our customers with good, high-quality service. We work to become a leader in Sweden in Pathology and Cytology in terms of quality, efficiency and work environment.
By our place, you get the opportunity to work in an advanced, technical and highly educational environment in brand new premises.
By our place, you get regular further training and room to focus on specific areas of interest for which you are responsible.
The department works with digital pathology and the majority of doctors perform the majority of their diagnostics via computer screen.
Description of community / city where the employment will take place
You will have your office in brand new premises with a fantastic view of the Blekinge archipelago.
Blekinge is Sweden’s next smallest county. Here live more than 159,000 people in 2,941 square kilometres.
Blekinge has Småland as neighbour in the north and Skåne in the west. On the other side of the Baltic Sea there Germany, Poland and Lithuania are closest.
It only takes three hours to Copenhagen. It is closer to northern Germany, half Denmark and the coastal areas of the Baltic region than it is to the Mälerdalen.
Blekinge is a pearl as a living environment. Here you have the sea, the archipelago and the forest in the doorstep. The distances are short, tailbacks are rare and the cost of living is significantly lower than in the big cities.
In Blekinge everything is so close. You can live in the countryside and work in the city. Or vice versa. You can live in a large house or small flat, on sea-level or in the middle of the forest. You rarely need to compromise among leisure, job, school, childcare, collective activity and housing. Those who live here can commute throughout the county the same time as it takes for the suburbanites to get to and from work. Most of the work will be in Karlskrona (the residential city of Blekinge with approximately 67,000 inhabitants).
