Make a Difference. Every Day.

Are you curious about psychiatric care and open to development and change work? Then you should not hesitate to apply to us! We are now welcoming a psychologist to our team at the forensic psychiatric outpatient clinic in Malmö.

The forensic psychiatry area is part of the Psychiatry, habilitation and aids management and consists of forensic psychiatric units in Malmö, Trelleborg, Helsingborg, Hässleholm, and Kristianstad. We currently have about 300 employees and care for individuals who have been sentenced to forensic psychiatric care by the courts. Many of our patients have psychotic disorders, multiple disabilities, and substance abuse issues. Secondary complications such as lack of formal education, social isolation, and ostracism are common. The goal of forensic psychiatric care is to habilitate and rehabilitate patients to a daily life in society with increased psychosocial function and reduced risk of reoffending.

The outpatient care in Malmö is responsible for the rehabilitation and habilitation of patients sentenced to forensic psychiatric care when inpatient care is no longer deemed necessary. Here we work in teams consisting of nurses and caregivers, with doctors, psychologists, occupational therapists, and social workers attached to the team. In our work, we strive for close collaboration with social services and other psychiatric services in the network work surrounding our patients. We also conduct outreach with home visits to follow up on our patients. Here we work with person-centered care and implement our new working method that follows the treatment model Flexible Assertive Community (F-ACT).
