You have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing. We would also like you to have knowledge of Cosmic. We place great emphasis on personal qualities. To thrive in this role, you have a good overall perspective and the ability to understand someone else's perspective or situation without taking over the person's feelings.

You see the advantage of collaborating with others and are outgoing and can create contacts and maintain relationships.

This is what you will work with

The acute psychiatric inpatient care is conducted in the newly built Psychiatry House in Sunderbyn. Here there is PIVA (psychiatric intensive care unit), psychiatric emergency care units, and the Addiction Center with a total of 32 care places and about 100 employees. In the Psychiatry House, there is also an ECT reception and an emergency reception that is open around the clock. Adjacent to the Addiction Center, there is a LARO reception. In our inpatient departments, patients are cared for under the Health and Medical Services Act, as well as the Psychiatric Coercion Act. We care for patients with all types of psychiatric illnesses, which contributes to a great variety in work as well as significant collegial support. Psychiatric care is the focus, which may also include somatic care and care of patients with addiction problems where person-centered care is in focus. Family and network work has a central function in our daily work; the participation and safety of the patient and relatives are important. You will have an important role in being involved in planning together with the patient and your care team. Documentation is an obvious part of the work, as well as being involved in the development of nursing work on the ward.
