Our Offer

The Psychiatric Clinic in Linköping is a university clinic with many different operations.

The clinic consists of outpatient and inpatient care, a detoxification unit, and an emergency unit. In addition, we have mobile services; the mobile outpatient team and pre-hospital psychiatric mobility (psychiatric ambulance).

Our nurses want to develop, and the clinic has therefore invested in strengthened nursing competence. In recent years, we have allowed our nurses to take responsibility and lead the development of nursing and work to make the latest research understandable and usable in our clinical everyday life. We have been working for some time now based on a recovery-oriented approach, and we see how care has shifted from a more traditional approach to being driven by an increasingly flexible and person-centered care where the patient's experience and needs are always our starting point. This, in turn, makes everyday work more meaningful and developing.

As a nurse with us, there are good opportunities to develop and build a career within the clinic. You will be offered both internal and external training, such as communication training. There is also the possibility of paid further education to become a specialist nurse in psychiatry – a step we are happy to support you in.

Here you can read about our career ladder for nurses and also about your benefits with us.

Job Description

We are now looking for a nurse for our inpatient department s-90 with a focus on psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and delusional disorder. Here, individuals are cared for in different phases of their illness – from newly ill to long-term conditions often with comorbidity with other conditions or diseases. As a nurse in psychosis care, you have a central role in both stabilizing and supporting the patient in their recovery process. You have a leading role in the nursing work, where the relationship with the patient is the foundation for meeting individual needs based on their unique life situation.

You work closely with the patient and build trusting relationships through conversation and presence – relationships that promote trust, participation, and recovery. The work is done in teams, and you are responsible for the daily nursing work, which includes medication management, participation in rounds, reporting, and collaboration with other care providers.

We work creatively and resource-focused, with the patient's skills at the center. We use techniques, methods, approaches, measures, and actions that are based on various areas of expertise. Here you will have the opportunity to develop, contribute, and be an important part of a context where every meeting counts.

We value a good work climate with a focus on respect, safety, and community. We continuously work to create a safe and permissive work environment where the focus is on communication, reflection, and mirroring.

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with a genuine interest in meeting people in vulnerable life situations. Experience in psychiatric care or a specialist nurse degree is an advantage but not decisive – we also welcome you who are new to the field. With curiosity, commitment, and the desire to do the best for the patient, you will develop together with us.

As a new nurse, you will be offered a personalized introduction and mentorship from an experienced nurse for as long as needed. We offer present leadership, and you will have support from your immediate supervisor who is easily accessible on the ward.

You have the ability to see both the patient's needs and resources. You are driven by a person-centered approach and value flexibility and creativity in nursing work. You thrive in an environment where you have the opportunity to use and develop your personal qualities and resources while contributing to the continuous development of our operations.
