About Us

Do you want to influence and develop the future of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (BUP) in Region Blekinge? Region Blekinge is now making a significant investment in the mental health of children and young people.

We have initiated a development project to change our working methods, leading us towards the implementation of stepwise care and clear care processes. We have started a joint contact center (one-way-in) together with primary care (the first line for children's and young people's mental health issues). The unit is organizationally part of primary care.

At BUP in Blekinge, about 90 employees work with great commitment and broad expertise in specialist psychiatry. The outpatient clinic and intermediate care have moved together into new, fresh premises in the city center. This will mean enhanced outpatient care that develops common working methods and strengthens teamwork.

The Job

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Blekinge is a multidisciplinary specialist service. Our mission is to assess, investigate, and treat psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents under 18 years old and provide support to their families. The service consists of outpatient clinics and intermediate care in both Karlshamn and Karlskrona, as well as a regional inpatient ward in Karlskrona.

At the clinic, there is a medical team with six senior physicians with high competence and long experience, as well as several ST and BT doctors.

As a physician at BUP in Blekinge, you will work in outpatient care with some daytime duties within the inpatient care in Karlskrona. We are looking for 1 specialist/senior physician for outpatient care who will work alternating periods with other specialists in inpatient care. As a physician in outpatient care, you will primarily work at the clinic, where you will be part of interdisciplinary teams regarding assessments/investigations and treatments. There are also outpatient nurses with whom you will collaborate on medication follow-ups. There is an intermediate care-enhanced outpatient service that can be activated when needed (with interventions such as day care for eating disorder patients, group treatments including DBT), and we have a close and good collaboration between outpatient care, intermediate care, and inpatient care.

As a physician in the inpatient ward in Karlskrona, you will work in a 24-hour care unit with 3 beds. Here, nurses and caregivers work, and there is close collaboration with intermediate care to shorten hospital stays and other outpatient clinics. During treatment conferences, the responsible physician from outpatient care also participates, so that we can collectively work towards achieving the shortest possible hospital stay with seamless transitions to outpatient care.

The medical group has regular meetings, both internally (BUP medical group) and together with adult psychiatry regarding collaboration issues and regular meetings with pediatric and habilitation physicians for clinical discussions about common children.

Occasional duties during on-call hours may occur. There is collaboration with the inpatient staff and with adult psychiatry, which means that we aim to conduct as many qualified child and adolescent psychiatric assessments as possible during daytime.

We are looking for someone who wants to work in a child and adolescent psychiatry with short decision-making paths and good opportunities to influence future development. We view education and supervision as prerequisites for providing specialized care of high quality and therefore have a generous attitude towards further education/research even for our specialists. Blekinge is a small region with about 160,000 inhabitants. We are now looking for a specialist/senior physician for outpatient care in Karlskrona. You will also participate in the clinic's operational and quality development and have access to internal and external training.

About You

You are a licensed physician with specialist competence in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. We are looking for someone with an interest in further developing modern psychiatry.
