Licensed Psychologist at Psychiatry Sydväst

The University Clinic Psychiatry Sydväst is driven by the vision of providing the best psychiatric care in Sweden. We are part of SLSO psychiatry and have extensive collaboration with Karolinska Institute. The clinic is characterized by research, innovation, and continuous development. Psychiatry Sydväst is located in Flemingsberg at Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge.

One of our psychologists is going on parental leave, and we are therefore looking for someone interested in a temporary position for 10 months with a possible extension.

We are looking for a licensed psychologist who preferably has experience in psychiatric care and a strong interest in neuropsychiatric conditions.

The Neuropsychiatric Program is responsible for care and interventions for adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and other neuropsychiatric disabilities with significant functional impairments and psychiatric comorbidity. The operation is characterized by continuous method development and coordinated interventions based on the individual needs of the patient. A systematic work environment effort is a central part of the mission, aiming to create a sustainable and pleasant workplace.

Your work as a psychologist

As a psychologist, you will be responsible for psychological treatment, both individually and in groups, as well as for assessments and supplementary neuropsychiatric investigations. You will conduct patient and relative education according to PRISMA and contribute your expertise in the team's treatment conferences and planning meetings.

The work is carried out in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team consisting of doctors, nurses, case managers, social workers, and psychologists. Treatment is based on evidence-based methods and in accordance with care programs and process maps for the target group.

We offer

You are stable and secure in your professional role. You have the ability to meet people in very varying moods and have a genuine interest in the target group.
