Do you want to help create the vital difference for vulnerable people? Then the job as a psychologist at SiS is a meaningful challenge.

Other individual-focused work includes individual treatment interventions, assessment interviews, and suicide risk assessments. The psychologist's role at SiS is consultative and educational through work with trauma-informed care (TIC), CBT, and suicide prevention, which also includes supervising staff. The tasks are varied with a great opportunity to structure and prioritize your work independently. The psychological work is interdisciplinary with the unit's various expert functions such as teachers, special educators, nurses, and other treatment staff.
