Do you want to work in psychiatry in a safe, structured environment with daytime working hours – Monday to Friday? With us, you can combine independent work with close team collaboration in a reception where competence, work environment, and patient safety are the focus.

The Role of the Nurse

At the emergency reception, the nurse's main tasks include advisory conversations with patients, relatives, and partners via phone or referral. Acute patient cases are also handled here via referral, phone calls, or visits. Here, you will collaborate closely with doctors and other staff within the emergency services.

Examples of other tasks the nurse has include medication follow-up with planned follow-up via phone or visits to the reception, administrative assignments, and collaboration with other units within the clinic.

The reception also has an addiction reception, lithium reception, and sampling unit where nurses, caregivers, and social workers work closely together with the emergency reception to provide the best care for our patients. We have a strong sense of community and togetherness, and we highly value the work environment and safety at the reception.
