We are a force that connects, holds together, and develops the region. Within Region Västernorrland, we are all part of something bigger.

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry offers specialized psychiatric care for children and adolescents and their families. BUP provides treatments and support for all psychiatric conditions, and our staff makes life a little easier for many families every day. We use various treatment methods, both individually and in groups, based on systemic, behavioral analytical, and neuropsychiatric perspectives. BUP's vision is to deliver care of the highest quality in a cohesive and efficient care process, as it is crucial for children and adolescents to receive the help and support they need when struggling with mental health issues. This means that care should be provided in a professional and skilled manner, and that good collaboration, both within the clinic and with partners, is an important part of the work. Our employees have extensive knowledge and solid experience in meeting and helping children, adolescents, and their families.

The Eating Disorder Team in BUP's outpatient care is a multimodal team consisting of doctors, psychologists, and social workers. We have good access to dietitian and physiotherapy interventions. We are now looking for a psychologist to join the team! As a psychologist in the team, you will work with the assessment of eating disorders and any comorbidity, as well as treating eating disorder issues. We primarily work with family-based treatment (FBT) but also with CBT-E. Some work with neuropsychiatric assessments may occur. The Eating Disorder Team in outpatient care has a close collaboration with the intermediate care eating disorder team that offers day treatment for more severe conditions. When you start with us, we offer you an individually tailored introduction and a varied job with good development opportunities.

The position is a permanent full-time employment with a start date according to agreement.
