Nurse, Forensic Psychiatric Clinic in Säter

Job Responsibilities

The mission of forensic psychiatry is:

• to increase the patient's health/quality of life and create the right conditions to prevent relapse into criminal behavior.
• to ensure that the patient accepts and voluntarily participates in care and treatment.
• to tailor care individually based on the patient's need for support to manage their daily life/illness, promoting the patient's recovery.

The department staff works in care teams where the nurse has a leading role. You will thus have primary responsibility for care planning and creating structure together with the contact persons in the department, as well as initiating various daily activities and care follow-ups.

The care team collaborates with the clinic's treatment team consisting of; social worker, responsible for ÖRV, physiotherapist, treatment assistant, rehab assistant, psychologist, occupational therapist, and addiction counselor. The team works towards common goals to provide patients with skills that promote a sustainable life outside the institution. Once a week, rounds are conducted together with the treatment team, and biannually, a care planning session is held for each patient aimed at achieving the goal of sustainable reintegration into society.
