About this role
Psychiatric Reception Strängnäs
Are you a caregiver with solid experience in psychiatry? Do you enjoy collaborating with others and prioritize patient focus? Then you might be our new colleague! We offer you a secure employment and an exciting and meaningful job that makes a difference.
About us
The Psychiatric Reception in Strängnäs is a specialist outpatient psychiatric clinic that is organizationally part of the Psychiatric Clinic at Mälarsjukhuset (MSE). The clinic is located about 10 minutes from Strängnäs travel center.
At the clinic, we have doctors, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, caregivers, social workers, and secretaries, totaling approximately 26 people. The clinic serves a diverse patient group; we treat affective disorders and anxiety disorders, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis, ADHD, trauma, substance abuse, and eating disorders. The clinic is characterized by broad expertise, a good working environment, flexibility, close teamwork, and high accessibility. Currently, there are 4 caregivers working at the clinic, one of whom is concluding their service. Here, you have the opportunity to work independently, collaborate closely with other professional categories, and actively participate in development work.
Your responsibilities
The caregiver's work requires a flexible approach and an independently active stance in consultation with doctors and other professionals in the unit. The tasks of the caregiver at the clinic are qualified and varied. Caregivers receive new patients for initial interviews, conduct independent structured supportive conversations with patients with varying care needs, where the most severely ill patients are highly represented. Support for relatives and assistance to children in stressed families is also part of the role. Planned home visits and participation in urgent home visits conducted together with doctors for, for example, care certificate assessments are part of the job. Caregivers follow up on patients' well-being, work on suicide prevention, and provide urgent interventions in ongoing patient cases. Caregivers perform tests such as pulse and blood pressure, as well as urine tests for driving license matters and other frequently occurring urine tests in areas such as addiction. One of the tasks for caregivers is to plan and prepare and act as group leaders for group treatments and training for patients and relatives. Prior to all ADHD assessments, caregivers conduct an ADHD information interview with patients. Regular collaboration occurs with, for example, social psychiatry/municipality and other healthcare neighbors.
We offer a varied workday in a pleasant workplace where we always strive to provide the best possible care and treatment for our patients.
Your qualifications
We are looking for someone who is trained as a mental health caregiver/nursing assistant and has experience working with patients with psychiatric issues, preferably with a particular interest in psychotic disorders. The clinical picture of patients can often be complex, which requires that you have experience in psychiatric care in general and desirable experience in outpatient psychiatric care. You are flexible, have good collaboration skills, and possess the ability to work independently, purposefully, and take initiative while also appreciating teamwork. You are curious and have the ability to meet people in very varying states of mind.
Qualifications
You take personal responsibility, are structured, and can plan your work. You can work independently but also enjoy collaborating in a team around patients, which requires flexibility. We would like you to have an interest in development and improvement work. You need to feel confident conducting difficult conversations, including suicide risk assessments. A valid driver's license is desirable.
We offer you good opportunities to develop in your professional role together with us at the clinic. We place great emphasis on personal qualities.
