Join us! Make a difference. Every day.

Are you looking for an exciting and varied job where you have the opportunity to develop within your profession and as a person? Then psychiatry is for you! By working with us during the summer, you will become an invaluable part of a team that works to make a difference.

Within adult psychiatry, there are different departments: addiction care, psychosis departments, general psychiatry, psychiatric intensive care unit, and emergency reception. We treat patients with psychiatric issues or psychiatric diagnoses such as affective disorders, depression, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, as well as substance abuse and dependency issues.

The area of child and adolescent psychiatry (Bup) in Skåne is a field that addresses children and adolescents with severe and moderate mental health issues. The work includes both family and network. Bup provides specialized care, outpatient care, inpatient care, and emergency care. Bup has a broad mandate and can therefore provide advice and support to prevent mental health issues, treat milder mental health issues, and treat more serious or acute mental illness.

The area of forensic psychiatry consists of full-day departments and outpatient units. Here, individuals who have been sentenced to forensic psychiatric care by the court are treated. Many have severe psychotic disorders, multiple disabilities with functional impairment, brain injuries, severe personality disorders, or substance abuse. The goal is to habilitate individuals suffering from severe mental health issues to a daily life in society with a reduced risk of reoffending.
