Your workplace
The forensic psychiatry unit works with individuals who have been sentenced to forensic psychiatric care. Here, we care for people who have committed crimes under the influence of severe mental disorders, who according to Swedish law cannot be sentenced to prison. We also care for correctional patients who require psychiatric inpatient care. Our focus is on rehabilitation, habilitation, and quality psychiatric care. The goal of our operations is to prepare patients for a life in society.
Your responsibilities
As a nursing assistant in forensic psychiatry, you will work closely with patients providing psychiatric care. Your work will include being a contact person as part of a team with other nursing assistants, nurses, and doctors. You will also collaborate closely with other interdisciplinary staff such as occupational therapists, social workers, and psychologists.
The care work may involve support conversations, social training, and assistance to patients in their daily lives. The work is planned based on the goals outlined in the patient's care plan. Your responsibilities will include psychiatric care planning, implementation, evaluation, and documentation in the Cosmic journal system. You will work with patients who are cared for under coercion according to the law on forensic psychiatric care.
Your qualifications and competencies
It is desirable that you have a degree from a nursing program with a focus on psychiatric care or another equivalent caregiving education, and preferably experience in psychiatric care. Alternatively, you may be currently studying in a field related to care, treatment, or social work.
Since the work can be unpredictable, it is important that you are attentive and can act flexibly and solution-oriented. You should also be resilient to stress and able to handle acute situations.
