School Psychologist for Borlänge Municipality's Central Student Health

Borlänge Municipality's centrally organized student health is a wonderfully dynamic workplace characterized by quality, collaboration, flexibility, and development. Borlänge is the largest urban area in Dalarna with convenient connections to neighboring towns such as Falun, Säter, and Gagnef. You can also easily commute to cities like Hedemora, Ludvika, and Leksand via public transport.

The centrally organized student health is tasked with supporting the development of local child and student health and strengthening the child and student health perspective. A large part of the work is preventive and health-promoting. The work as a whole is varied and occurs at the organizational, group, and individual levels, in collaboration with school staff, guardians, and other agencies, but of course also transprofessionally within the framework of our own operations. Collaboration with other agencies and actors is included as needed.

In the centrally organized student health, school nurses, school doctors, school psychologists, speech therapists (both for primary and preschool), special educators for preschool, as well as a medically responsible nurse and a medical secretary work together. The organization is led by a unit manager who will be your closest supervisor.

As one of our school psychologists will be on parental leave for the entire next school year, we are now looking for a substitute for her. If you are a licensed psychologist and have considered working as a school psychologist, take the opportunity to apply and become part of our team! As a school psychologist with us, you will be centrally located alongside other school psychologists and several of the other categories in the Central Student Health, and then work out towards the municipality's various primary schools and high schools.

Support and collaboration exist in relation to the other professional categories in the central student health, where collaboration, flexibility, and job satisfaction are guiding principles for the operation. The psychology group also has continuous external supervision to support their work.
