Vacant job

Helping people achieve better health is one of the most important missions one can have. At Södra Älvsborg Hospital (SÄS), we are 3,700 employees with 120 different professions who contribute to this every day. What role do you want to play?

Regardless of your role, we can offer you a meaningful, safe, and developing job where you make a difference for others. Our employees often say that SÄS is a "just right-sized hospital" – it's big enough to develop and build a career, yet small enough to foster a sense of community across departments. We have a forward-thinking spirit, and there are always exciting initiatives and research underway to improve care for our patients and meet the future challenges in healthcare.

Do you want to help shape the future of acute child and adolescent psychiatry? We are now looking for you, a nurse who wants to work in a dynamic and varied environment with highly specialized care in child and adolescent psychiatry (BUP).

With us, you will have the opportunity to rotate between our mobile team, the emergency department, and the acute care unit, providing a unique variation in work and a broad skill set. This means that one day you might be out meeting patients in their home environment, and the next day handling acute admissions on the unit. Do you want a job with pace, variation, and where you are never alone in difficult decisions? Then this could be the job for you!

About our open position

For our emergency unit for children and adolescents, we are looking for someone interested in working with children/youth and families from a child psychiatric perspective within our emergency unit. As a nurse with us, you will work on our acute ward, which has six care places, as well as on our emergency department where we make urgent assessments around the clock. The future plan is to start a transitional care team that will work with intensive treatment in a day care format, as well as a mobile team to provide adequate help and support at home. This team will be staffed by personnel from the emergency unit for children and adolescents. We will collaborate extensively within the unit to provide the best possible care for youth and their families. In the unit, you will work alongside the unit manager, senior physician, resident physician, social worker, mental health nurse, nursing assistants, social pedagogues, and secretaries.

We offer you

• Variation and development - with us, you will never be stuck in monotonous routines. You will gain both breadth and depth.
• A strong workgroup - we are a team that supports each other and has fun together.
• Acute psychiatry at its best - quick decisions, but always time for reflection and support from colleagues.
• Influence the future of care - we are in a development phase and are looking for someone who wants to help shape the way we work moving forward.

About us

The emergency unit is currently undergoing an inspiring and challenging development process, and since autumn 2020, we have been in completely new and adapted premises in the Psychiatry Quarter. We actively collaborate with other partners such as schools, social services, and pediatric medicine, and we recognize the importance of good cooperation for our patients and their families. The unit provides LPT care.
