City Health Center is looking for a new colleague

At City Health Center, we are looking for a new colleague and welcome you to apply to our workplace.

The health center has a forward-thinking attitude, values an open and unpretentious climate, and promotes collaboration within and between professional groups. We maintain high quality in what we do for our patients and have the mindset that everyone is equally valuable.

Our Offer

The Primary Care Center of Östergötland consists of 33 region-operated health centers, Finspång Health Center, the Child Health Care Unit, 1177 and emergency centers in the evening and weekend, and the General Medicine Training Center. We conduct a broad primary care operation where we offer care to everyone throughout life; newborns, children, adolescents, adults, the elderly, and patients at the end of life.

We are a forward-looking organization with a strong focus on a good working environment, development, and good health. We actively work to create conditions for sustainable working life while having a development-inspired working method to meet the future challenges in primary care. With us, there are good development opportunities for those who want to advance in their profession, become a manager, or move forward in other ways, such as through specialization or research.

City Health Center is centrally located in the old hospital area in Norrköping. The health center is operated by Region Östergötland, has about 14,300 registered residents in a mixed population, and nearly 60 permanent employees, which means we have a broad staffing in various professions.

The health center focuses on working behaviorally medically through the integration of psychological and somatic competence through the concept of Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH). We have been working on this for several years and also conduct research in the field. The goal is to collectively work throughout the health center to increase many patients' functional levels and quality of life and enhance patients' ability to manage their issues. We also work to increase preventive efforts and avoid medicalization.

We are an academic health center with a growing commitment to research in several professions.

Other focus areas include elderly health/our elderly care clinic, training of younger colleagues, e-health, and we are now also an HBTQI-certified health center. The basic structure of the health center is good, which facilitates daily work.

Job Description

You will have your own clinic, mentor colleagues, handle child health care, and other tasks typically included in the role of a general practitioner at a health center. In the basic assignments, there is often the opportunity to profile oneself somewhat according to interest and aptitude. There is also a so-called “own booking” in the schedule where you can make a judgment about whether you need the time for patient bookings or administration, thus gaining influence over your time. We have a monthly division, and listing in Master occurs as you have been in contact with the patients. The listing also takes care of care load. We will soon initiate a working method where the doctor collaborates with a nurse for mutual benefit and to secure our patients and achieve a higher degree of continuity.

Health-initiated video visits during the day may be relevant if you and the patient see a benefit in it. We work with flexible hours. On-call duties are included in the assignment. Cosmic is our working tool. If you are interested in research, this is a good workplace for you. You will, of course, receive an introduction to ensure you have the best conditions for your assignment.
