Summer Substitute for Nacka's Social Psychiatry

Do you want an important and meaningful summer job? Are you studying to become a social worker/psychologist or a similar field and want to make a difference for our clients? Then apply for the position of summer substitute at Nacka's social psychiatry!

Your Mission

The social psychiatry in Nacka municipality consists of several different services, and as a summer substitute, you may work in all of them.

Your work will include working with implementation plans, daily documentation, and, when working in group homes, taking medical delegation. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, weekends, and on-call shifts.

Group Homes

Måsen and Helenebergsvägen are Nacka municipality's two group homes. Clients live in their own apartments with access to shared spaces for social interaction.

As a substitute, you will support and encourage clients in their daily lives. The support is tailored to the individual's needs with the goal of enhancing independence, well-being, and the ability to handle everyday situations.

Housing Support

Housing support provides individual assistance to clients in their own homes. You help the client develop skills that facilitate daily life, for example, by creating functioning routines or breaking social isolation.

The interventions are based on decisions from authorities and are individually designed. The work is independent and largely takes place in the field.

Social Pedagogical Interventions and Meeting Places

Social psychiatry operates two meeting places: Café Lyktan and Träffpunkten. The services target individuals with long-term mental health issues and are open on weekdays.

Here, visitors are offered community, opportunities for social interaction, and participation in activities often designed together with the clients.

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have excellent knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• Have studied or are studying the care and nursing program with a focus on psychiatry, or social work/psychology or behavioral sciences at a university or college

It is an advantage if you have previous experience working with the target group, have some form of educational experience, or have worked with substance abuse issues and eviction prevention.

Is This You?

We are looking for someone who wants to make a difference in everyday life. The work is mobile and varied, which requires you to be flexible, structured, and comfortable in a changing environment where no day is the same as the other.

You have high social competence, are interested in other people, and are eager to make contact. At the same time, you are attentive, stable, and secure in your professional role.
