About this role
Make a difference. Every day.
Are you a person who values patient involvement and sees patients as active participants in their own recovery process? So do we!
The care for medication-assisted rehabilitation for opioid dependence (LARO) in Skåne is undergoing significant changes with the phasing out of the LARO care choice system. We plan to open more regional LARO clinics in Helsingborg and are looking for nurses who want to help develop LARO care. We offer opportunities to work both at our existing clinics, where you can contribute to improving and strengthening the already established care, and at the new clinics we will establish, where you will have the chance to be involved from the start and shape the future of LARO care. You will work closely with process leaders and unit managers to ensure high-quality care. Welcome to be part of our exciting development!
The LARO clinics have a mission that includes comprehensive medical responsibility for patients with long-term opioid dependence. We offer medical treatment, counseling therapy, care and treatment planning, psychological testing and assessments, as well as basic somatic care related to substance abuse, harmful use, and dependency issues. The goal of LARO is to prevent relapse, improve social functioning, and reduce medical complications, transmission of infections, and mortality. Treatment is tailored individually based on the patient's needs and with respect for their autonomy and dignity.
RESPONSIBILITIES
As a nurse, you play an important role in the team and, together with specialist doctors, are responsible for your patients' care and treatment. In addition to pharmacological treatment, we work with motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We are planning to initiate group treatments based on patients' needs. We collaborate with various stakeholders in psychiatric and somatic care and see cooperation with social services, the correctional services, the social insurance agency, and the employment agency as essential to meet patients' needs.
All staff members in the unit have a significant responsibility to develop and improve care in collaboration with the area's management. With us, you will have the opportunity to grow and develop in your role. We offer good development opportunities where you can strengthen your skills and take on your own areas of responsibility, based on your interests and our needs. If possible, employment will begin before January 1, 2026, at the Adult Psychiatry LARO clinic on Donationsgatan in Helsingborg.
Some weekend work will be required.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for a licensed nurse with the qualification to practice within Swedish healthcare. Proficiency in Swedish at least at level C1 according to the Council of Europe’s scale is a requirement. It is an advantage if you have experience in addiction care, a genuine interest in working with our target group, and/or experience collaborating with various stakeholders. We also value if you have specialist training in psychiatry and/or step-1 competence in CBT. Good knowledge of Melior and the Microsoft Office suite is also meritorious.
As a person, you are humble and helpful, always putting the patient first. You are confident in your professional role and accustomed to working independently in a case management capacity, where you see opportunities instead of obstacles. With a good ethical approach, a willingness to participate in improvement work, and strong collaboration skills, you contribute to an open and positive work environment. We place great importance on personal suitability.
We apply ongoing selection in this recruitment process. We warmly welcome your application today, and we look forward to getting to know you!
