About the operation
In our clinic, you will be offered an exciting and challenging role.
You will be part of our team of 13 people. The team consists of doctors, medical secretaries, nurses, psychologists, an occupational therapist, and a social worker. We have a close collaboration with two additional psychiatric clinics located in the same building.
Our ambition is to offer and create conditions for stimulating and developmental work at our Clinic, with well-established colleagues and a good working community with various specializations under one roof. The psychiatric outpatient clinic is seen as the foundation of the specialist psychiatric services, where the aim is to investigate, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate as much as possible in the patient’s local environment.
The target group primarily consists of individuals who require investigation and treatment for neuropsychiatric diagnoses within the scope of specialist psychiatry, as well as individuals receiving treatment for opioid dependence through LARO (medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence).
Job responsibilities
As a nurse with us, your responsibilities will include care and treatment work in the form of medication follow-up, assessment interviews, telephone counseling, collaboration with other care providers, SIP (individual care plan), care documentation, and other related tasks at the clinic. The position will primarily focus on the LARO team at the clinic.
Qualifications
Licensed nurse with experience. Specialized training and experience in psychiatric care are advantageous.
The work requires personal maturity, the ability to work independently, and to make quick decisions. You should be resilient to stress and able to handle a fast-paced work environment. We expect you to be structured, clear, organized, and flexible, as well as having a willingness and interest in working within a team.
We place great importance on personal suitability and value characteristics such as flexibility and strong social skills, where humor, initiative, and positive thinking are distinct merits.
Additional information
The position refers to a permanent employment. Interviews will be conducted continuously throughout the application period.
When filling a position within psychiatry, we always require an extract from the suspected offenses and criminal record. This request will be handled by the employer.
