Vacant job

The General Psychiatry Clinic in Piteå is a specialist psychiatric outpatient clinic operating within the catchment area of Piteå Älvdal, which includes the municipalities of Piteå, Älvsbyn, Arvidsjaur, and Arjeplog. We have around 70 employees at the clinic where we provide psychiatric outpatient care with various treatment and assessment interventions for citizens aged 18 and over, striving to deliver good, evidence-based, and person-centered care to our patients.

Within our clinic, various professions work together, including psychologists, nursing assistants, nurses, behavioral scientists, specialist doctors, social workers, physiotherapists, rehabilitation coordinators, medical secretaries, and administrators. The Psychiatry Division has begun a transition to Close Care, where we move care into the home, close to the patient.

Currently, an exciting project is underway at the clinic through the work of the Specialist Psychiatric Care Team, SPOT, which works preventively to prevent the need for inpatient care, reduce time in round-the-clock care, and offer higher participation in the patient's care and early interventions at the right time. The clinic has conducted an exciting project from October 2024 to June 2025 through the work of the Specialist Psychiatric Care Team, SPOT, which works preventively to prevent the need for inpatient care, reduce time in round-the-clock care, and offer higher participation in the patient's care and early interventions at the right time. In June 2025, the project transitioned to permanent operations, and the work continues to further develop the service.
