Job Description

Here you meet individuals who have fallen ill or worsened in their mental health, but especially individuals within the autism spectrum. We work in multidisciplinary teams together with the patient, where our goal is to meet the patient's needs and plan continued care needs together with the patient. We work from a holistic perspective, which means that family engagement and support for relatives may be part of the tasks. The breadth of the work makes the days with us varied and eventful.

As a curator, you work with psychosocial assessment and treatment work with individuals, families, networks, and groups. You are the team's consultant regarding legislation and patients' rights to support in society.

We Offer You:

• An introduction tailored to your background and experience.
• Training programs for new employees held by various professionals within the clinic.
• An exciting and varied job where you have the opportunity to develop in your professional role.
• Collegial supervision.

Common to all new employees is a mentor who guides you into the team and helps you get into routines, as well as follow-up conversations with your immediate supervisor.

About You

We welcome you who are a trained social worker. Experience working within specialist psychiatry is advantageous, as is experience with individuals on the autism spectrum, and if you are a licensed health and medical care curator. The work requires the ability to work both independently and collaboratively with different professions. We expect you to be interested in method development and clinical application based on current research.

You are often described as a team player with good collaboration skills. We want you, like us, to have a good approach, a positive attitude, and focus on the patient's best interests. You have a creative and problem-solving ability, are flexible, take initiative, plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively.
