The Role of the Psychologist

As a psychologist, you will work with treatment individually, in groups, and via digital healthcare meetings.

Your tasks include mapping the mental health of children and young people. You will make qualified assessments and work further with relevant treatment interventions. As a psychologist, you will also participate in the unit's ongoing and important development work.

Your work, together with our interdisciplinary team, includes collaborating with other child and youth services within the region and municipality. You will also have the opportunity to participate in cross-county process work.

Your Future Workplace

We also offer online CBT for youth.

Our team consists of psychologists, social workers, nurses, doctors, occupational therapists, and administrative staff. We work in a team-based manner and are committed to improving our services. We often collaborate with schools and social services. The Child and Adolescent Health in Huskvarna also works closely with corresponding clinics in Nässjö and Värnamo.
