Welcome to a workplace with varied and stimulating tasks that are undergoing reorganization and change. The adult psychiatry in Dalarna is a consolidated specialist operation and belongs to the psychiatry division within healthcare. The psychiatric clinic in Avesta will offer psychiatric specialist care to the adult population in Avesta and Hedemora municipalities.

Our mission is to investigate, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate patients with severe psychiatric conditions. We strive to see the person from a holistic perspective and to help patients find their own resources to enhance well-being and improve their quality of life. The clinic has a broad specialist psychiatric competence with various professional groups working transprofessionally. We collaborate with psychiatric inpatient care, municipalities, other healthcare providers, and other community actors.

The clinic is located on the hospital grounds at Avesta Hospital in premises that provide a pleasant and calm environment. You will come to a workplace with a good atmosphere, open climate, and strong collegial cooperation. The clinic consists of about 30 employees, including nurses, caregivers, social workers, licensed psychotherapists, psychologists, doctors, occupational therapists, medical secretaries, and managers.

Region Dalarna applies a wellness grant of 2000 SEK/year. We actively work with wellness and work environment. There is access to a gym, and there are walking areas next to the hospital.

Your main responsibilities will be the investigation and assessment of functional and activity ability as well as therapeutic measures. You will perform occupational therapy treatment both individually and in groups, as well as assess the need for and prescribe cognitive aids. In Region Dalarna, the Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model, OTIPM (Fisher, 2009), is used. Current assessment instruments may include the ADL taxonomy and GAP in daily activities. In addition to close collaboration with others at the clinic, you will work with other actors such as the Social Insurance Agency, the Employment Agency, municipalities, and employers.

As a newcomer, you will receive an introduction where you will learn about our entire operation. We offer group supervision and continuously work on improvement efforts. We work daytime, Monday to Friday, with the possibility of flexible hours if the work allows.
