Make a difference. Every day.

Are you passionate about psychiatry and want to help develop our area of expertise?

The addiction care within Adult Psychiatry Helsingborg is undergoing change, and through this temporary position as a nursing assistant, you have the opportunity to be part of the transformation process by working at the Adult Psychiatry Clinic for Addiction following the care and support model Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT). Welcome to us!

The Adult Psychiatry Clinic for Addiction is one of the subspecialized clinics within the Helsingborg area. The clinic offers psychiatric health and medical care services in outpatient settings for individuals with substance use disorders, and simultaneously psychiatric comorbidity, of such significance that specialist investigation and specialist care are required. The clinic's mission includes diagnosis/investigation, care, and treatment of addiction conditions related to alcohol, medication, and narcotics.

The FACT care and support model is proven, but new to the clinic since spring 2024, and means that all assessments, investigations, and treatments of specialist psychiatric issues are based on a recovery-oriented, person-centered approach and standardized care processes in psychiatry. The clinic constitutes an internal team, to which we have connected an external team with representatives from the municipalities in our catchment area. By having the municipality and psychiatry work together with the patient and their network, there is a greater opportunity to provide the patient with the right support at the right level and at the right time. The work varies between pre-planned visits with patients, either at the clinic or home visits, as well as acute support interventions for patients who need more intensive support.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The job responsibilities include performing planned and unplanned home visits, support via phone, and various administrative tasks, including documentation. Treatment can occur both individually and in groups. In your work at the clinic, you will continuously conduct independent assessments of patients' mental well-being and identify if they need further interventions. These potential interventions will then be carried out both by you individually and together with other team members. You will be part of an acute team that makes urgent visits to our patients. Through daily digital meetings with the external team, a structure for collaboration has been created, which increases the chances that participants receive the support they need. Patient visits occur where it benefits the patient best, which means a combination of visits to the clinic, home visits, or visits to another location.

The position also includes co-leading an activity group with a colleague and conducting sample collections, primarily urine sampling, under the delegation of a nurse. We have a strong focus on ensuring that individuals feel heard and involved in their care and strive to be as flexible as we can, based on the individual's needs and within the frameworks we have.

At the addiction clinic, work is conducted during the day.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is a trained nursing assistant or specialist nursing assistant in psychiatry. This means you have an approved upper secondary education in health and care (2500 credits), an approved health and care education via adult education (minimum 1350 credits), or another equivalent nursing assistant education. Since the work largely involves communication and documentation, good language skills in Swedish, both spoken and written, are a requirement. You also master basic medical technical aspects at the nursing assistant level. Applicants who currently hold a permanent position with the job title caregiver can apply and will retain their job title upon potential employment (but no longer than until 2033 when the title caregiver will cease within our operations). We prefer that you have experience working as a caregiver and/or nursing assistant. It is advantageous if you have experience working in psychiatry or with patients with mental health issues. Additionally, good computer skills and basic knowledge of our journal system Melior are beneficial. Since regular travel is required in the position, a valid B driver's license is also a requirement.

You have a genuine interest in psychiatric care and place the patient at the center. You have good prioritization skills, contribute to a positive work environment, and can remain calm in stressful situations. You are secure, stable, have a high sense of service and responsibility, and possess good collaboration skills. You approach patients and relatives with humility and enjoy mentoring students. We highly value personal suitability.

Please attach your nursing assistant certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare if you have received it or your diploma to your application. If you have not yet received the certificate, you will be given the title of care assistant in the meantime. If you were permanently employed as a nursing assistant on July 1, 2023, or if you wish to retain the job title caregiver and were employed as such before November 1, 2023, please submit a certificate that verifies this.

A background check will be conducted before any potential employment.

In this recruitment process, we apply ongoing selection. We warmly welcome your application today; we look forward to getting to know you!

OTHER

As of July 1, 2023, the title nursing assistant became a protected professional title. This means that you will need a certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare to use the title nursing assistant within health and care. If you currently have a permanent position as a nursing assistant and are offered a new position, you can retain your title as a nursing assistant until June 30, 2033. At any interview/employment, you need to be able to present proof of the protected professional title from the National Board of Health and Welfare or a certificate that you were permanently employed as a nursing assistant on July 1, 2023. If you do not currently have a professional certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare or are covered by transitional provisions, this means that the title in your employment contract will be care assistant and not nursing assistant.
