Nurse at the Psychiatric Clinic at Norrlands University Hospital

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for an equitable welfare system and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.

The Psychiatric Clinic at Norrlands University Hospital in Umeå is the largest psychiatric clinic in Norrland with over 400 employees. We have three general psychiatric wards, forensic psychiatric services, and several specialized outpatient and treatment units.

The Psychiatric Clinic works for equitable care for all and nursing based on research and clinical experience.

We are looking for a nurse with an interest in psychiatric nursing for ward 2, which is a general psychiatric ward with acute intake for patients with psychotic disorders, affective diagnoses, and patients over 60 years old.

The ward has 16 beds and cares for both HSL and LPT patients. On ward 2, we work with person-centered care, focusing on the development and improvement of the care environment, nursing, and inpatient treatment efforts for the patient groups we encounter.

On the ward, doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants work together. We work in teams around the patient and have close collaboration within the clinic, as well as with neighboring care providers. Common partners include relatives, outpatient care, social psychiatry, and administrative law.

As a nurse at the psychiatric clinic, there are opportunities to pursue specialist training, internal and external education, or to work on cross-clinic assignments.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a nurse with us, you contribute to taking good care of others and helping people feel better.

The work as a nurse with us includes, among other things, collaborating with your team colleagues to map and identify specific nursing needs for individual patients and, based on that, plan the nursing team's acute interventions and measures as well as their evaluation.

You will also be involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating specific nursing strategies and, in dialogue with doctors, creating tailored treatment plans, motivating with various types of pedagogical strategies, and conducting summaries and evaluations of these efforts.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. If you have previously worked in psychiatric care and/or 24-hour care, we consider this an advantage.

You have a genuine interest in meeting people with psychiatric diagnoses in their treatment, care, and daily lives. You are a present and warm person who, with knowledge and care, contributes to a holistic view that makes the care process better and safer. You think it is important to provide a good response and can communicate clearly with both colleagues and patients and adapt to different situations.
