habilitation center in Jönköping

The habilitation center in Region Jönköping County is looking for a psychologist for one of two adult teams in Jönköping.

Are you a psychologist who wants to make a difference for our target groups? Are you attracted to a cross-professional approach and enjoy working in a team? Become part of a competent and pleasant work group, warmly welcome your application!

The role of the psychologist

As a psychologist within adult habilitation, you work both independently and together with a cross-professional habilitation team of about 8 people.

You will work with a variety of tasks in the form of:

• Treatment conversations
• Support conversations
• Investigation
• Assessment and diagnosis
• Supervision/consultation for residential staff, personal assistants, and relatives.
• The work also includes group activities and educational initiatives.

The work is mainly performed at your own reception, but variation is also offered through visits to other relevant locations for the patient and the case.

Adult habilitation meets people with intellectual disabilities, mobility impairments, progressive muscle diseases, autism, certain rare diagnoses, and severe brain injuries. Our psychologists have a general knowledge of the psychological and social consequences of disabilities, and specific knowledge of how different disabilities can affect the individual’s mental well-being, development/cognition, and daily life.

Your future workplace

At the habilitation center, we want to create conditions for as independent a life as possible for people with disabilities, and we hope that you now want to be a part of this.

The foundation of our work is the meeting with children, adolescents, and adults who come into contact with us based on their individual needs for habilitation. Our starting point is the equal value of all people. This means that we meet everyone based on the individual's unique life situation and conditions. We build our operations through meaningful meetings. Co-creation, meaningfulness, and quality are our core values, which are important and guiding for us. Everything culminates in our vision; A good life in an attractive region for all.

Your profile

We are looking for you who are a licensed psychologist with an interest in the habilitation center's target groups. To thrive with us in adult habilitation, you should find it easy to meet and work with people in different situations. The individuals who come to our operations are all at different stages of life, and it is important to be able to start from their different conditions and prioritize the person's best interests.

A driver's license is desirable.

Our offer to you

We offer you a job where you can contribute your psychological expertise in a cross-professional team. Teamwork creates good conditions for learning and personal development. This is achieved through discussions and shared patient work with colleagues who carry different professional perspectives than your own. Through the broadened perspective, the opportunities to portray and meet the whole person in their complexity increase, which presents stimulating challenges as well as a meaningful feeling in the work.

You will have the opportunity for individual and/or group supervision as well as regular professional meetings. You are always close to your team and your psychologist colleagues. Several psychologists work within child, youth, and adult habilitation in Jönköping, and all are located in the same building. At the habilitation center, we strive for our employees to further their education within their profession.

We apply annual working hours, which means that you can influence your working hours and planning a lot yourself.

50% of the position includes IF investigations for adult individuals where there is a question of intellectual disability and 50% includes team-based psychological work.
