Nurses Needed at the Psychiatric Clinic in Umeå

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for research and innovation to yield results.

The Psychiatric Clinic at Norrlands University Hospital in Umeå is the largest psychiatric clinic in Norrland with over 400 employees. We have three general psychiatric wards, forensic psychiatric services, and several specialized outpatient and treatment units. The Psychiatric Clinic works for equitable care for all and care based on research and clinical experience. The clinic operates in a newly built facility where the care environment reflects the importance of the care setting in promoting health.

Ward 1 is often the patient’s first contact with psychiatric care. The ward collaborates closely with various outpatient clinics and treatment units. Patients are usually cared for under HSL, but care under LPT is also part of the operations.

We are now looking for two nurses for Ward 1 at the Psychiatric Clinic who want to help develop psychiatric care for patients with eating disorders and/or neuropsychiatric disabilities and psychiatric comorbidity.

You will receive individual orientation based on your experience and competence, as well as a mentor.

The work as a nurse with us includes mapping and identifying specific care needs for individual patients together with your team colleagues, and based on that, planning the care team’s acute interventions and measures as well as evaluating these.

You will also be involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating specific care strategies and, in dialogue with doctors, developing tailored treatment plans, working motivationally with various types of educational strategies, and compiling and evaluating these interventions.
