Do you want to help develop child and adolescent psychiatry (BUP) in Kalmar County? We can offer you a stimulating and developing job as a care coordinator at BUP Kalmar!

As a care coordinator at BUP, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of doctors, psychologists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, special educators, caregivers, and secretaries who value strong and positive teamwork.

In your role, you will develop and streamline our administrative processes to give our therapists more space for direct patient work, including planning, coordinating, and booking care interventions. The role includes responsibility for coordinating waiting lists for treatment and assessment, in dialogue with the unit manager, as well as contacting patients and guardians as needed during the waiting period. We meet children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues, where you, together with us, contribute to a positive change.

In your role, you collaborate with patients, colleagues, and other stakeholders around the patient, such as schools, child habilitation, and social services.

You will be responsible for collecting and analyzing operational data and register maintenance. Administrative tasks related to treatment conferences are also included. Furthermore, you actively contribute to a positive work environment.
