Are you a nurse interested in eating disorder care?

Stockholm Center for Eating Disorders (SCÄ) is one of the largest specialist clinics in the world for patients with eating disorders and receives 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. In early 2026, we will open another outpatient clinic for children and young people with eating disorders in Södermalm, Stockholm.

The expanded mission that SCÄ has received means that the child and adolescent section is growing, and the unit for Outpatient Care for Children and Young People needs to expand its staff. We are now looking forward to welcoming another colleague to our team.
