Psychiatry Ambulance

The Psychiatry Ambulance is expanding its prehospital mission and is looking for specialist nurses interested in prehospital emergency care, psychiatric emergency care, and development.

Our Operations

The Psychiatry Ambulance PAM is dispatched via 112 and operates from SvLc and the ambulance station with the entire Region Uppsala as its catchment area.

Patients arrive at the emergency department for adult psychiatry via self-referral/visit or with police, ambulance, correctional services, and other healthcare providers.

PAVA is an acute care department with 12 beds where patients are cared for in the acute phase with an average stay of 1 - 3 days.

Your Mission

As a specialist nurse, you, together with other specialist nurses, are responsible for leading and developing psychiatric care both at the patient level and at the unit level. With us, you rotate between three different units: PAM, emergency department, and inpatient care unit, which means varied and developing tasks.

The leading specialist nurse in the Psychiatry Ambulance PAM is medically responsible, performing acute psychiatric assessments that require immediate action where the patient is located. Tasks may occur at an accident site, an event, at the patient's home, or out in the city. You work in a team with an experienced caregiver, and together you contribute to creating safety for the patient and relatives while providing professional and qualified care in various environments. Many of the assignments involve close cooperation with other healthcare providers as well as police, ambulance, and rescue services to ensure that the patient's needs are met.

The leading specialist nurse in the emergency department has overall responsibility for the emergency department and the emergency room. Together with nursing staff and doctors, you provide good and safe emergency care. You monitor patient flow, perform an acute initial assessment and triage of patients, and carry out immediate nursing actions.

The leading specialist nurse at PAVA has overall responsibility for providing good and safe care. The care for patients is person-centered and evidence-based and is carried out in collaboration with other professional groups. We work in teams, and you are responsible for about 6 patients together with caregivers and collaborate with the other team on the ward in a shared overall responsibility for the patients.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse with specialist training in psychiatric care, have personal maturity, and want to work with people in vulnerable situations. You have the ability to understand people, instill safety and calm in critical situations. You build trust with patients and relatives and establish a professional relationship. You possess the ability to shift pace, make accurate acute assessments, prioritize, and feel secure in your professional role. You should be able to work both independently and in a team, be able to lead work, and have clear communication with colleagues and other professionals.

To ensure the quality of care, we actively work to develop a good and attractive work environment for nurses. This means that we value and protect the nurse's autonomous professional practice and have high nursing competence. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. A B driver's license is a requirement.
