At Region Dalarna, you will have a meaningful job where you can make a difference. Together, we are working towards a sustainable Dalarna with developmental strength in all parts of the region.
We are seeking an additional Psychiatric Nurse/Nurse for our new initiative - A Path In. Region Dalarna is actively pursuing a renewed mission within mental health, set to launch in 2025 - A Path In, a reception unit where children and adolescents can seek advice and guidance concerning mental health issues. We aim to create a robust and sustainable team, and are therefore looking for an additional licensed nurse who wants to be part of the start of this exciting endeavor. Together, we will help build our new operation and thus contribute to more equitable and accessible care for the children and youth of Dalarna.
A Path In will serve as the entry point for children and young people aged 0 to 18 seeking advice and support regarding mental health challenges. Our goal is to create a service that can best meet the needs of different age groups and inquiries, using diverse competencies and experiences. When interventions from Health and Medical Services are needed, we will assess whether support should be offered through the first line (Conversation Reception for Children and Youth/Youth Clinic) or within specialized care for children and youth (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry). If support should be provided through specialized care, information on all relevant BUP units will be given according to the Act on Freedom of Choice Systems (LOV).

The team at A Path In will consist of psychologists, social workers, nurses, medical secretaries, and team leaders, all experienced in working with children, adolescents, and their families.
