Healthcare Assistants for Forensic Psychiatric Inpatient Care

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.

Within the health and medical care administration, primary care, dental care, and hospital care are gathered into a common administration and organized into regional and local healthcare areas. In the local healthcare area of Skellefteå, the Emergency Department, Medical and Geriatric Clinic, Rehabilitation Center, Psychiatric Clinic, 1177, and primary care in Skellefteå and Norsjö are included. Together, these aim to provide good and close care.

The Psychiatric Clinic, consisting of about 240 employees, provides both outpatient and inpatient care. The outpatient care includes an Emergency and Assessment Unit, which includes eating disorder services, two adult clinics targeting individuals aged 26 and older, a Young Adults clinic targeting individuals aged 18-25, as well as a medical unit, MBT team, elderly team, and specialist psychiatric nursing team (SPOT). The inpatient care consists of two acute psychiatric wards and a dependency ward with an associated detoxification unit. Within the dependency care, there is also an outpatient clinic, LARO clinic, and a dual diagnosis team.

We are now expanding our operations with two brand new forensic psychiatric inpatient places. The patients we care for are sentenced to forensic psychiatric care but are close to discharge, as it is important to have the opportunity to return to a meaningful context in society.

We are therefore looking for healthcare assistants who want to work in inpatient care with varying tasks within your area of competence. It will also include working with community rehabilitation efforts. Your commitment is important and will make a difference. You will have the opportunity to shape new routines and working methods so that we can meet the patient group in the best way. We see this change as an exciting development of care in Skellefteå.

The forensic psychiatric places will be integrated into our regular inpatient wards. Therefore, those who start with us will work both with our other patient groups and with the forensic psychiatric interventions.
