We are looking for a neurologist
Do you want a job in a good hospital in a small nice city on the beautiful west coast of Norway? Come to Helse Fonna!
The department of neurology is located in Haugesund. At the moment we have 7 neurologists (senior consultants) and 8 trainees (junior consultants becoming neurologist). We have a position for an 8th neurologist.
The department consists of a ward with 14 beds, included our stroke-unit with 6 beds; an out-patient clinic with general and specialized clinics, and the EEG laboratory.
We have the possibility for neurography and EMG as well as EP, but we have no neurophysiologist at the moment. The department participates in several clinical research projects. At the hospital we have an outstanding radiology department with MRI, CT, nuclear medicine included DaTscan. Otherwise, we have good co-operation with the other departments in our hospital and with the neurosurgeon department at the University Hospital in Bergen. Neurophysiology is at the moment served from the University Hospital in Stavanger.
We are looking for an all-round neurologist. Neurophysiological experience is an advantage but not necessary. There is the possibility to develop your own field of interest within neurology. Experience with thrombolysis is mandatory.
Supervision and teaching of our trainees is important. We expect our senior officers to be able to work in a multi-professional team.
We expect a positive and flexible attitude and good communication skills. A good sense of humor is appreciated. You need of course to learn the Norwegian language both written and oral at a high level.
We have 40 hours working week. Normal working days are from 08.00 a.m. until 16.00 p.m. Senior consultants are on call every 7th day/weekend. We have always a junior consultant on call.
Everybody in Norway has 5 weeks holiday per year, you will have in addition 2 weeks off and the Friday after a weekend-duty is a day-off.
You have the opportunity to visit congresses/courses 10 days per year with full salary and specialist have a sabbatical period with full salary in 4 months every 5th year.
The hospital can be helpful with housing, looking for job-possibilities for a partner and schools/kindergarden for children. We will organize Norwegian language courses.
