Vacant job

Description

You now have the chance to help establish a new psychosis department from the ground up together with an engaged manager and MLA.

The department will have 14 beds, one of which will be reserved for voluntary admission. As a nurse, you will receive training in voluntary admission and then be responsible for the admission and discharge of those patients. The department is located at S: Görans hospital area, centrally located, close to the city's pulse and good communication opportunities.

We are committed to conveying a humanistic value base and creating a dignified care environment for our patients. The department is multiprofessional and consists of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, occupational therapists, and social workers. By offering supportive conversations, we encourage our patients to engage in activities, exercise, and healthy eating habits.

The department will implement Safewards, which is a method to secure care for patients and strengthen their ability to influence which activities the department will offer. You, as a nurse, will be able to participate in planning which Safewards interventions will be applied in the department.

The work also involves close collaboration with outpatient clinics.

Psychiatry is continuously evolving, and Northern Stockholm Psychiatry is constantly striving for modern and innovative working methods; therefore, participation in the departments' quality and development work is a given for our employees.

There are also good development opportunities for you as a nurse, as specialist training in psychiatric care can be part of your development plan, as well as other local training.

Qualifications
