Your Future Workplace

The Psychiatric Clinic in Jönköping is one of the largest clinics in the region with both outpatient and inpatient care within specialist psychiatry. The facility has seven outpatient clinics and six inpatient wards, as well as 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 also serve as a regional resource responsible for psychiatric intensive care, addiction care, forensic psychiatry, and on-call services where we handle urgent cases within both adult psychiatric clinics and child and adolescent psychiatric clinics.

Within outpatient care, we work with specialist interventions in neuropsychiatry, addiction care, psychosis care, general psychiatry, and psychiatric rehabilitation. We work in teams with assessment, investigation, treatment, and rehabilitation interventions.
