We are now expanding our operations with additional pool services and are looking for someone who wants a varied and educational job in psychiatry.

As a caregiver in the pool, you belong to a home department but work in several departments within adult psychiatry and forensic psychiatry. The patients you meet have varying diagnoses, conditions, and needs, which provides an opportunity to learn and develop in your work. Your tasks include basic care, observations, and documentation.

You will have a rolling 6-week schedule with 2 weeks of night shifts and 4 weeks of day/evening shifts, as well as working every other weekend.

In your position with us, we offer:

• Relocation assistance
• Special compensation during weekends according to an initiative within Region Kalmar County
• Continuous supervision
• Flexible working hours
• Wellness allowance and the opportunity to rent a bicycle with gross salary deductions
• Extra vacation days when you turn 40 and 50 years old
• Assignments within your current position, such as supervisor and CPR instructor

We conduct interviews on an ongoing basis during the application period, so please send your application as soon as possible.

About you

You are a trained caregiver or nursing assistant or have an education that the employer deems equivalent. Previous work experience in psychiatry, treatment homes, or similar operations is an advantage.

The role requires that you have good collaboration skills, that you can be clear in your communication, and provide patients with a low-arousal approach.

You enjoy a varied job, are flexible in your working style, and can easily adapt to changing circumstances.
