The forensic psychiatry in Örebro consists of four departments with a total of 34 inpatient care places. The patients who are with us have been transferred to care instead of prison and are treated according to the Act on Forensic Psychiatric Care (LRV). The care periods are relatively long as the patients have complex issues, and the work is systematic, varied, and stimulating. On Ward 7, located in Mellringe, there are seven care places, and here the patients are in psychiatric rehabilitation. Each patient has a cross-professional team around them that, together with the patient, works on the individual's issues. We work with a focus on the individual and collaborate with other care providers as well as relatives. Part of the rehabilitation takes place outside the ward, where permissions, activities, and cooperation with other actors in the care chain constitute a significant part. When you start working with us, you will receive an adequate introduction, and during your employment, you will be offered ongoing opportunities for professional development. We are now looking for two committed caregivers who, with drive and interest, want to work with patients sentenced to forensic psychiatric care. With us, you will be welcomed to an exciting workplace with a good atmosphere and challenging tasks.

The operation consists of several care departments and an outpatient team. Together, we are around 90 employees working with common processes and goals. We work in multiprofessional teams based on a holistic view of the individual and tailor the care interventions to the patient's needs and conditions. We strive to promote the involvement of relatives in the care.

The psychiatry in Region Örebro County is a specialist operation divided into five areas of activity, all with a strong focus on ethics, collaboration, and development, as well as a well-functioning educational and research environment. Together, we are approximately 900 employees.
