Our Operations

The forensic psychiatric unit cares for patients who have been convicted of crimes and have been transferred to forensic psychiatric care. This means that we receive patients with varying psychiatric conditions. In the unit, we work from a long-term perspective where, in addition to medication, care, educational efforts, and psychological treatment with a focus on preventing recidivism are important components.

The forensic psychiatric unit currently consists of two care departments with security class 2 and security class 3, as well as an outpatient clinic. In April 2024, we will move to newly built premises in Jälla outside Uppsala.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanently employed staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime, but it is solely a planning measure.

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be made regarding all persons whom the employer intends to employ or engage for patient-related work based on the fact that they may work in psychiatric healthcare, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are covered by optional record extracts. This applies to all who will work closely with patients even if the tasks are not primarily intended to include work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts. We therefore decline phone calls from recruitment companies and ad sellers.
