Department 21 - Nurse in Psychosocial Care

Department 21 is a unit within Psychosocial Care Stockholm (PSV) and is centrally located in Kungsholmen, S:t Görans hospital area.

Description

We are a specialized unit caring for patients aged 18 to 35 who are experiencing their first episode of a psychotic disorder.

The focus is on comprehensive assessment, treatment, and planning in collaboration with patients and their relatives. We place great importance on the involvement of patients and their relatives (e.g., patient forums, relative education, and crisis intervention) and maintain close cooperation with care neighbors and especially outpatient care.

The unit has 12 + 1 care places, and we can offer a calm and comfortable environment in accordance with our care program. One care place is reserved for self-selected admission.

Half of the unit's staff are nurses, and the department is well-staffed. This allows for quality in nursing work, planning, and good collegial support. Many of your future colleagues have worked long at the department. We can offer a good introduction, support from experienced colleagues, and good opportunities for short-notice leave.
