Psychiatric Emergency Unit, Jönköping

Do you want a fun and developing job and become part of an open and warm team? You are warmly welcome to apply for the position of nurse with us at the Psychiatric Emergency Unit!

The Role of the Nurse

At the clinic, you will work with colleagues on telephone advice, assessment, and prioritization of emergency patients. The psychiatric care team works with high availability in the patient's daily life, and the tasks currently consist of assessments via phone or home visits. The teams have a large network of contacts, both within the clinic and at the hospital, but also externally with, for example, the police, ambulance, and social services. An important part of the work is to maintain a good level of service for patients and partners.

The Organization You Will Work Within

The Psychiatric Clinic in Jönköping is one of the largest clinics in the region, offering both outpatient and inpatient care within specialist psychiatry. The facility has seven outpatient clinics, five wards, an administrative unit, and a psychiatric emergency department that offers emergency assessments around the clock. The clinic provides psychiatric specialist care for residents over 18 years old. Parts of the clinic are also a regional resource responsible for psychiatric intensive care, addiction care, forensic psychiatry, and emergency services where we handle urgent cases within both adult and child and adolescent psychiatric clinics.

Your Profile

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. If you have experience in psychiatric care and/or specialist training in psychiatry, it is seen as a positive but is not a requirement. If you are not a specialist nurse in psychiatry today, we would like you to be interested in further education.

As home visits are part of the job, a B driver's license is required.

A part of the competence development lies in the collaboration and exchange that continuously occurs among colleagues. We work together for the best of the patient, which makes our teamwork essential. It is also important that you, who work with us, are secure and stable with good self-awareness. You take responsibility for your task and organize and prioritize your work effectively, as well as easily adapt to changing circumstances. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.

Our Offer to You

We offer a permanent full-time position with shifts during the day, evening, weekend, and night according to the schedule. Start date by agreement.

With us, you will have the opportunity to rotate between tasks in our emergency department and our mobile team.

As a workgroup, we are innovative and curious and have an openness that contributes to a very good atmosphere at work. We learn from each other through interdisciplinary collaborations where we utilize the unit's collective competence. You will be involved in planning, development, and follow-up of the operations.

Are you a newly graduated nurse? We know that the transition from education to reality can feel significant. We want to give you as a newly graduated nurse a good start in working life where you can grow into your new professional role. Therefore, we offer you who have received your license in the last 12 months to participate in one of Sweden's best introduction and development programs for newly graduated nurses (RIU). The program includes 20 full days spread over eight months and starts every year in February and September. RIU gives you the opportunity to meet other newly graduated nurses where you can exchange experiences and provide each other with advice and support.
