Adult Psychiatric Mobile Team

NU Health Care is part of the Västra Götaland Region and is one of Sweden's larger county hospitals. We are located at NÄL (Norra Älvsborg County Hospital) in Trollhättan and Uddevalla Hospital. The hospital's catchment area includes 280,000 residents. Together, we are about 5,000 employees who work every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare. We are located on the west coast, and our area offers varied nature with both sea, mountains, forests, and lakes.

We need to recruit a new employee. Our ambition is to offer and create conditions for a stimulating, exciting, and interesting job with good development opportunities.

The Adult Psychiatry Reception is seen as the base of the specialist psychiatric operations where the goal is to investigate, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate in the patient's local environment as much as possible. The target group primarily consists of individuals who need psychiatric specialist care for conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, comorbidity, i.e., mental disorders/diseases with concurrent substance abuse/dependency, as well as investigation and treatment of ADHD. We continuously develop care with new methods and have received funding to offer patients the right interventions.

You will join a workplace with well-established colleagues and a good work community. We are divided into teams consisting of doctors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, and secretaries.
