Licensed Psychologist Wanted in Kungsbacka Municipality

Are you a licensed psychologist who wants to make a difference for our children and youth in Kungsbacka Municipality? We look forward to your application!

The Role of School Psychologist with Us

In this role, you contribute to a culture of sharing where we collectively take responsibility, inspire, collaborate, and support each other.

Conversations are the psychologist's most important tool in all supportive work, including assessments. The license entails independent professional responsibility regarding, for example, the choice of interventions, methods, and work instruments.

You will work with preventive and promotional student health efforts together with the school's student health teams. The teams include school leaders, counselors, school nurses, special educators, and psychologists. Working in these teams ensures that the need for early interventions can be recognized, and the school psychologist can be involved at an early stage to:

• offer consultation and advice to staff and management
• provide advice and support conversations for children, adolescents, and guardians
• use psychological assessment methodology as a basis for adapting and designing appropriate support measures
• conduct psychological assessments
• facilitate learning by, when necessary, participating in placements in other school forms and engaging in networking with other activities outside of school to create the best possible conditions for the school's students
• participate in planning interventions during crises

In this role, you will work across three schools: Åsaskolan, Åsa Gårdsskola, and Frillesåsskolan. The assignment at Åsa schools comprises 60%, and the assignment at Frillesåsskolan comprises 20%. Tasks in each assignment will be shaped in consultation between the principal, school psychologist, and EHT teams based on the current needs of the schools.

Your Profile

You are interested in developmental, neuro-, group, and organizational psychology. As a person, you are accommodating in your approach and attentive to your surroundings. In dialogue with guardians, you are both empathetic and clear. You create new contacts while maintaining your current work relationships. You take responsibility and drive your work forward, delivering results and prioritizing your work effectively. You see opportunities in changes, take initiatives, and bring new approaches to work-related issues. Personal suitability will be given great importance.

We are looking for someone who:

• is a licensed psychologist
• has a B driver's license

It is meritorious if you have experience in:

• working as a psychologist in schools, preschools, child health care, child psychiatry, or pediatric habilitation
• previous work experience in schools, preschools, and other types of child activities

Our Offer and Additional Information

We offer a permanent position at 80% employment, where you will work at our three schools. The appointment will be made by agreement.

With us, you will develop in your profession alongside colleagues and will work based on our workplace culture, characterized by welcoming, collaborating, delivering, and innovating!

You will also need to provide an extract from the criminal record in connection with employment.
