Rehabilitation Center located at Värnamo Hospital and/or Ryhov County Hospital, Jönköping

Are you interested in working in somatic specialist care with a focus on behavioral medicine? Do you want to work in an organization that allows you to grow and take your own initiatives? Then this is a position for you!

The Role of the Psychologist

Your main tasks will be assessing mental health issues and providing psychological treatment as well as neuropsychological evaluations. The patients you encounter have various somatic underlying diseases.

As a psychologist, you will be involved in care throughout all stages of the disease process; from the onset of illness and acute phase to later follow-ups. This often involves collaboration and cooperation with other professionals and services that affect patients' daily lives, treatment, and wellbeing. We see the psychologist resource as part of specialist competence, which may also include supervision and consultation to others.

Together with the clinics at Värnamo Hospital, there is a need to further develop collaboration and working methods, regardless of your workplace. In other parts of the county, the psychologist role is more established, and there are good opportunities to learn across the county and continue to develop together.

The leadership will be based in the location from which you primarily operate. As we are a regional clinic, there is a mandate for the entire county, which may involve working at a different hospital than where you are based.

We work with digital solutions and digital patient meetings, which we will continue to develop, so we would like to see that you have an interest in digital treatment methods.

Your Future Workplace

The Rehabilitation Center is a county-wide organization where different competencies and experiences support the development for the patient, profession, and rehabilitation from a holistic perspective. Regardless of where in the county one lives, the patient should have access to equal rehabilitation of good quality.

Approximately 300 employees work within the Rehabilitation Center across 11 areas with a cross-professional composition based on a person-centered approach.

Your Profile

To be considered for the position, you should be a licensed psychologist, preferably with a CBT focus and experience in neuropsychological evaluation.

As a person, we want you to be proactive and drive processes forward. You are flexible, have a high ability to collaborate, and are good at communicating. You are structured in your work and take responsibility for planning, organizing, and prioritizing your work effectively, also with high quality. You have a holistic view where the patient and their relatives are involved and in focus for your efforts. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

Our Offer to You

We offer you a permanent position in a secure organization with good leadership, competent colleagues, and varied tasks.

The role of psychologist in the Rehabilitation Center is both exciting and challenging. Therefore, we see it as important to have a sense of community with other psychologists within the Rehabilitation Center. The psychologist group provides collegial support where they also work with common development processes. There is close and confidential collaboration with the management team and the opportunity for influence.

The Rehabilitation Center is at the forefront of care. Further education and deepened knowledge are prioritized, which means opportunities for specialist training that can largely take place during working hours. Regular supervision is offered.
