School Psychologist for Borlänge Municipality's Child and Student Health

Borlänge Municipality's centrally organized child and student health is a wonderfully dynamic workplace characterized by quality, collaboration, flexibility, and development. Borlänge is the largest locality in Dalarna with convenient connections to neighboring towns such as Falun, Säter, and Gagnef. Through public transport, you can easily travel to and from cities like Hedemora, Ludvika, and Leksand.

The centrally organized child and student health has the mission to support the development of local child and student health and to strengthen the child and student health perspective. A large part of the work is preventive and health-promoting. The work as a whole is varied and takes place at the organizational, group, and individual levels, in collaboration with school staff, guardians, and other agencies, but of course also transprofessionally within the framework of our own operations. Collaboration with other agencies and actors is included as needed.

In the centrally organized child and student health, school nurses, school doctors, school psychologists, speech therapists (both for primary and preschool), special educators for preschool, as well as a medically responsible nurse and a medical secretary work. The organization is led by a unit manager who will be your closest supervisor.

Are you a licensed psychologist and have considered working as a school psychologist - or are you already working as a school psychologist - take the opportunity to apply and become part of our team! As a school psychologist with us, you will be centrally located with other school psychologists and several of the other categories in the Central Child and Student Health, and then work out towards the municipality's various primary schools and high schools.

Support and collaboration exist in relation to the other professional categories in the central child and student health, where collaboration, flexibility, and job satisfaction are guiding principles for the operation. The psychology group also has continuous external supervision as support in their work.

Of course, our values attract you!
