Consultant Psychiatrist/Specialist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

NU Health Care is part of the Västra Götaland Region and is one of Sweden's larger county hospitals. We are located at NÄL (Norra Älvsborg County Hospital) in Trollhättan and Uddevalla Hospital. The hospital's catchment area includes 280,000 inhabitants. Together, we are about 5,000 employees who work every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare. We are located on the west coast, and our area offers varied nature with both sea, mountains, forests, and lakes.

We are building the future of child and adolescent psychiatry at NU Health Care and are now seeking another consultant psychiatrist/specialist to join our emergency psychiatry and outpatient care!

About Us

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry department at NU Health Care is in an intensive development phase where we have been tasked with building a BUP for the future: A BUP with robust clinics and broad competence regarding both professional categories and diagnostic areas.

The role of the physician is central to the work in child psychiatry, and we place great emphasis on interdisciplinary teamwork. We have a very good collegial cohesion within the medical team.

Since February, our inpatient care has been temporarily closed, and our patients in need of inpatient care are treated at SÄS. However, we still have our emergency department where acute assessments are made during the day by ST doctors. Specialist doctors/consultants are available remotely for consultation as backup. The BUP emergency department is located on the NÄL hospital grounds.

Currently, the medical clinic is separate in what we call the Medical Clinic, which is a support clinic. We actively work towards outpatient and specialist clinics: BUP East located in Trollhättan, BUP 0-5 located in Uddevalla, as well as BUP West and the BUP Eating Disorder Unit located at the hospital in Uddevalla.

About the Position

We wish to strengthen our medical staffing with an additional consultant psychiatrist/specialist who will work in outpatient care and emergency psychiatry. The work consists of regular tasks within outpatient care. Currently, we do not have an on-call line, but it may become relevant in the future to join an on-call line as backup. Depending on future developments, inpatient work may also become relevant.

Within the organization, we train ST doctors, AT doctors, BT doctors, and students, and mentoring them is part of your assignment. To some extent, we apply a fork clinic model where you can receive mentoring physically or digitally.

You are offered a job where you have your own development and a network that supports you. We work in a structured way with scheduling and predictability for a good work environment.

About You

We are looking for you who are a child and adolescent psychiatrist, preferably with experience in clinical work in recent years. You are passionate about child psychiatry and want to make a difference. As an ST doctor in the final phase of your specialist training, you are welcome to apply for a position with the possibility of promotion after an onboarding period.

You enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team where the physician's role naturally interacts with all the professions needed for our most severe conditions. It is important that you have good social skills and the ability to collaborate. You have good knowledge of Swedish in both spoken and written form. Innovative thinking and interest in development work are important, and we place great emphasis on personal qualities.

We Offer You

• A position in a BUP organization that is in an exciting development phase
• To be part of a supportive and secure medical team
• Development in your medical role with clear planning for continuing education
• A predictable and structured workday where recovery is scheduled
