Do you want to make a difference for children and adolescents?

At the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinic at the University Hospital, you have the chance to influence the future – every day.

We offer a workplace where professional competence meets care, and where you as a nurse have the space to grow.

We are about 160 employees who together shape the future of child psychiatry. The core activities consist of outpatient, intermediate, and inpatient care as well as several subspecialized units. Ward S102 is the only child psychiatric inpatient unit in Östergötland. We have six beds and work with both acute interventions and planned assessments.

Our Offer

Ward S102 offers you a secure introduction based on your experiences and needs. We apply mentorship with continuous follow-ups. The workgroup has group supervision with a licensed psychotherapist and “mirroring” where you can receive collegial support in your work. Furthermore, we view the willingness to develop positively and there are good opportunities for further studies. In our work, the conversation and meeting between you and the patient are what matters. When you work at Ward S102, you get time for the patient and the opportunity to make a difference.

Job Description

As a nurse at Ward S102, you work with the most important thing there is – our children and adolescents. You will have a central role in the nursing work and become a key person in the team.

The tasks are varied and include, among other things:

• Leadership and collaboration with several professions.
• Medication management, sampling, and educational meals.
• Conversations with patients and parents.
• Collaboration with residences, authorities, and care neighbors.

At night, the nurse, together with a caregiver, is responsible for the on-call operations in the county as well as the patients in the ward. This may involve assessments both via phone and on-site.

We are a positive and ambitious group consisting of doctors, nurses, caregivers, occupational therapists, social workers, dietitians, and psychologists. Together, we are responsible for ensuring that care maintains high quality and is based on the individual patient's needs.

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse.

Experience from psychiatric care or health care for children and adolescents is meritorious but not a requirement. You as a nurse need to feel secure with conversation as a tool and enjoy varying work pace.

As you work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

To thrive and fit in with us, your personal qualities are important. For this position, we are looking for a colleague who is secure in themselves, has the ability to broaden their perspective, take in others' viewpoints, and who dares to lead others towards a common goal. The applicant should also enjoy working with relationship-building as we use ourselves as the primary tool in the ward.

There is an opportunity to work full-time nights if desired.
