About this role
Psychiatry in South Stockholm strives to become a leading example in Swedish psychiatry.
We achieve this by working person-centered, offering the right expertise for the patient’s needs, emphasizing the implementation of evidence-based guidelines and care programs. We continue to invest in development work in the areas of patient safety, care processes, and our most important resource, our staff. We are over 1,200 dedicated employees who provide patients with good, safe, and equitable care.
We are now entering a new era! In the fall of 2025, the Stockholm County Healthcare Area (SLSO) will launch Psychosis Care Stockholm – a newly established organization that will consolidate all psychosis outpatient and inpatient care units within SLSO into a unified operation.
Our nursing group is looking for more colleagues!
We are seeking you who is curious about psychiatry while also wanting to keep a foot in somatic care. You can apply if you are a newly graduated nurse looking to develop a broad skillset in healthcare or an experienced nurse with the mindset to continue learning and sharing your knowledge.
About us in Ward 31
Psychiatric Ward 31 is an acute geriatric psychiatric care unit within inpatient care that currently has 16 beds. In the ward, we work with psychiatric care, support, and treatment for elderly individuals with various psychiatric diagnoses. Care at the ward includes basic nursing for several patients at times. Patients are treated voluntarily or under coercion. The staff on the ward have worked together for a long time, and we place great value on maintaining a positive attitude at work!
In geriatric psychiatry, we focus heavily on interactions. We aim to create a calm, safe, and secure environment for our patient group, where you as a nurse play an important role. You serve as both a support through the "one conversation a day" model, where we address the patient’s needs and thoughts, and as a bridge between different care professionals. On Ward 31, you work closely with an experienced team of nursing assistants, specialists, physiotherapists, social workers, and occupational therapists. All to help our patients in the best possible way!
The workplace is located at Nacka Hospital next to Ektorps Centrum with good transport connections and near the scenic Nyckelviken and Långsjön. We have a close collaboration with our sister departments, eight in total, located in the same building.

You are flexible in your work with a positive fundamental attitude. You possess an empathetic ability reflected in curiosity and openness to new people. We place great importance on personal suitability, flexibility, and good collaboration skills.
Additionally, we require that you are a licensed nurse.
What can we offer you?
The position is a permanent, full-time employment with day and evening shifts. We work two weekends out of five.
