Vacant job

The General Psychiatry in Piteå is a specialist psychiatric outpatient clinic operating within the catchment area of Piteå Älvdal, which includes the municipalities of Piteå, Älvsbyn, Arvidsjaur, and Arjeplog. We are about 70 employees at the clinic where we provide psychiatric outpatient care with various treatment and assessment efforts for citizens aged 18 and over, striving to offer good, evidence-based, and person-centered care to our patients.

Various professions work within our clinic, such as psychologists, caregivers, nurses, behavioral scientists, specialist doctors, social workers, physiotherapists, rehabilitation coordinators, medical secretaries, and administrators. The psychiatry division has begun a transition to Close Care, where we move care into the home close to the patient.

Currently, an exciting project is underway at the clinic through work with the Specialist Psychiatric Care Team, SPOT, which works preventively to prevent the need for hospitalization in inpatient care, reduce the time in round-the-clock care, and offer higher participation in the patient's care and early interventions at the right time. The project started in October 2024 and will be evaluated at the end of spring 2025.
