About this role
We are now seeking a caregiver who wants to be part of our meaningful daily work!
Our Offering
In adult psychiatry, at the Psychiatric Clinic Motala Mjölby, we work with a cohesive care chain with treatment responsibility in both outpatient and inpatient care, as well as for patients connected to our mobile care team.
The Mobile Care Team is the psychiatric clinic's emergency service but also offers specialized psychiatric home care as an alternative to full-time care.
There are four catchment areas with reception services in Motala and Mjölby. There are also geriatric psychiatric teams and an addiction team in both locations.
The business idea is to provide early, individual, and needs-adapted interventions with an integrated family approach. Thanks to this, our inpatient ward has only thirteen care beds, which is experienced as sufficient despite a catchment area of approximately 90,000 inhabitants.
Job Description
With the patient in focus, we work integratively with reception, emergency psychiatry, psychiatric home care, and inpatient care. The work includes acute assessments and planned home care. Tasks consist of psychiatric assessments, suicide risk assessments, support and activation visits, counseling, telephone advice, collaboration, outpatient treatment options, documentation, and reporting. As a caregiver on the mobile care team, you are responsible for providing high-quality nursing care, recognizing patient needs, and ensuring safe psychiatric care. It is a flexible job with many variations.
Work Group
The mobile care team consists of caregivers and nurses who always work in pairs, and a doctor may accompany visits if needed. Other professionals can be involved in collaboration with outpatient clinics.
About You
You are a qualified caregiver/nursing assistant, and we prefer previous experience in psychiatry. The assignment involves daily communication with patients, their relatives, and colleagues, so it is important that you have excellent Swedish language skills in both speech and writing.
You are flexible and positive with a desire to help others. You are also good at collaborating with others both within and outside your team. You can work independently with a colleague and make well-founded decisions.
