About this role
Rehabilitation Center located at Värnamo Hospital and/or Ryhov County Hospital, Jönköping
Are you interested in working in somatic specialist care with a focus on behavioral medicine? Do you want to work in an organization that allows you to grow and take your own initiatives? Then this is the position for you!
Role of the Psychologist
Your main responsibilities will include assessing mental health issues and providing psychological treatment, as well as conducting neuropsychological evaluations. The patients you will encounter have various somatic underlying conditions.
As a psychologist, you will be involved in the care throughout all stages of the disease process; from initial onset and acute phase to later follow-up. This often involves collaboration and interaction with other professionals and services that affect patients' daily lives, treatment, and well-being. We view the psychologist's role as part of the specialist competence, which may also include supervision and consultation for others.
Together with the clinics at Värnamo Hospital, there is a need to further develop collaboration and working methods, regardless of your workplace. In other parts of the county, the psychologist role is more established, and there are good opportunities to learn across the county and continue developing together. Leadership will be based at the location from which you primarily operate. As we are a county clinic, there is a mandate for the entire county, which may involve working at a different hospital than your primary base.
We work with digital solutions and digital patient meetings, which we will continue to develop, so we would like to see that you have an interest in digital treatment methods.
Your Future Workplace
The Rehabilitation Center is a county-wide operation where various competencies and experiences support the development for the patient, the profession, and rehabilitation from a holistic perspective. Regardless of where one lives in the county, patients should have access to equitable rehabilitation of good quality.
Approximately 300 employees work within the Rehabilitation Center across 11 areas with a cross-professional composition based on a person-centered approach.
Your Profile
To be considered for this position, you must be a licensed psychologist, preferably with a focus on CBT, and have experience in neuropsychological evaluation.
As a person, we want you to be proactive and drive processes forward. You are flexible, have a high ability to collaborate, and are good at communicating. You are structured in your work and take responsibility for planning, organizing, and prioritizing your tasks effectively, while also maintaining high quality. You have a holistic view where the patient and their relatives are involved and at the center of your efforts. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
Our Offer to You
We offer you a permanent position in a secure organization with good leadership, competent colleagues, and varied tasks.
The role of a psychologist in the Rehabilitation Center is both exciting and challenging. Therefore, we see it as important to have a sense of community with other psychologists within the Rehabilitation Center. The psychologist group provides collegial support and works on joint development processes. There is close and confidential collaboration with the management team and opportunities for influence.
The Rehabilitation Center is at the forefront of care. Further education and in-depth knowledge are prioritized, which means opportunities for specialist training that can largely take place during working hours. Regular supervision is offered.
