Vacant job

At Region Dalarna, you will have a meaningful job where you can make a difference. Together, we work for a sustainable Dalarna with development power in all parts of the county.

The Forensic Psychiatric Clinic in Säter is responsible for highly specialized care at the county, regional, and national level. We primarily care for patients under the Forensic Psychiatric Care Act, but also for patients who become ill during ongoing criminal care or during detention. We have a total of 76 care places divided into seven departments staffed by experienced nurses and caregivers.

Nurses and caregivers work together in care teams and collaborate with the clinic's Treatment Team, which includes a social worker, psychologist, occupational therapist, addiction therapist, and doctor.

As a caregiver, conversations with patients, relatives, and care neighbors are an important task.

In the department, we work with a contact person system where you, as a caregiver/nurse, are responsible for your patients. You will participate in the daily care work in the department. We strive to offer patients skills that promote recovery.

At the forensic psychiatric clinic, there is an ongoing improvement process regarding the care process and the introduction of more care and treatment measures, of which you will be a part. Working in forensic psychiatry is both developing and interesting.

We are constantly working to develop and improve the work environment for our employees.
