Psychologist for Outpatient Care for Children and Adolescents

The Child and Adolescent Section at the Stockholm Center for Eating Disorders is growing, and the outpatient unit for children and adolescents needs to expand its staff.

We are now looking for a psychologist who is interested in working with eating disorder treatment for children and adolescents and their families!

The Stockholm Center for Eating Disorders (SCÄ) is one of the largest specialist clinics in the world for patients with eating disorders and accepts patients of all ages. We have a well-developed operation with outpatient care, day care, and inpatient care for both adults, children, and adolescents. Today, we have over 280 employees. At the beginning of 2026, we will open another outpatient clinic for children and adolescents with eating disorders in Södermalm, Stockholm.

The outpatient clinic for children and adolescents provides specialized eating disorder care for patients under 18 years old. Currently, there is a unit for children and adolescents with about 15 employees, and another outpatient unit for children and adolescents will be established in the spring.

We have nurses, psychologists, psychotherapists, dietitians, physiotherapists, and doctors working with us. Our primary treatment focus is family-based therapy (FBT). We have supervision from James Lock, who developed the method.

The expanded mandate that SCÄ has received means that the child and adolescent section is growing, and the outpatient unit for children and adolescents needs to expand its staff. We are looking forward to welcoming additional colleagues to our wonderful team.
