Tough challenges but also fantastic events, strong community, and support from colleagues and fellow human beings.

Our Operations

Ward 4B consists of 14 places and is aimed at patients with alcohol, drug, and/or medication dependence who need detoxification treatment or break assistance and, to some extent, medication adjustment. Admissions occur either via the psychiatric emergency department or outpatient care, but can also be planned from the municipality's dependency units. All treatment is based on an individual care plan. The ward has doctors, nurses, caregivers, clinical pharmacists, and social workers. Based on the individual needs of the patients, we collaborate and consult other psychiatric specialists at Akademiska sjukhuset to ensure that patients receive good care.

The operation belongs to the section for dependency and neuropsychiatry, a cutting-edge section where research and development of care are prioritized. All staff have access to supervision, and we actively work to improve the work environment for our staff. We also work purposefully on improving patient care and are keen to involve and support relatives. The staff group at 4B is open, positive, secure, and competent, making it easy for new staff to join the ward.

Your Mission

As a nursing assistant or caregiver in psychiatric inpatient care, you play an important role in the team working on the patient's recovery. In collaboration with colleagues from various professions, you participate in assessing and planning the individual patient's needs for support, care, and treatment. You work closely with the patient and collaborate with psychiatric outpatient care, other healthcare providers/community agencies, and relatives. In your duties, in addition to the usual tasks of a nursing assistant and caregiver, i.e., care tasks including care planning for the patients for whom you are the contact person, you will also take samples, EKGs, blood pressure, and pulse. It is important that you have a genuine interest in working with people with psychiatric issues and that you want to help develop our operations.

Your Qualifications

It is a requirement that you have a degree as a nursing assistant or a caregiver from a nursing assistant/caregiver education that we consider relevant. You have a genuine interest in psychiatric care. As a person, we would like you to be positive, driven, engaged, flexible, and solution-oriented with the ability to prioritize among varying tasks in a changing environment, have an open view of humanity, and enjoy challenges. We also expect you to have a good service attitude towards both patients and colleagues as well as external actors. We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. Previous work experience in psychiatric inpatient care as well as experience in dependency care is not a requirement but is highly meritorious.
