Your assignment

In this role, you will provide support to survivors of completed suicide, where you are an important support and, if necessary, help them move on to the right agency. This is a completely new role, which means you will have the opportunity to help shape working methods, structures, and collaboration from the ground up.

You will work independently with great responsibility and have a broad mandate to plan and implement your interventions based on current needs. You will contact relatives after a completed suicide, with the aim of providing support and, if necessary, guiding them to other interventions. Contact can occur via phone, digital meetings, home visits, clinic visits, or another agreed-upon location. The bereavement support should be designed so that survivors have the opportunity for conversation. The work is characterized by flexibility and individual adaptation, and an important part of the assignment is collaboration with various units within psychiatry, other parts of the region, municipalities, and external care providers in the region. The position is daytime, Monday to Friday.

You have experience working with people in difficult life situations and are comfortable working independently. You have a relevant education, such as a nurse, social worker, behavioral scientist, or health and medical care curator, or another equivalent education that we consider suitable.
