Job Description

As a psychologist, your main task is to conduct neuropsychiatric assessments of children and adolescents in accordance with national guidelines. You will work closely with doctors, formulate referral responses and statements, and provide feedback to families and preschools/schools. In your profession, you will also contribute psychological expertise in case assessments and serve as support for colleagues in the team. The assignment initially involves some flexibility in tasks based on the section's needs and may initially focus on digital new patient visits before the operations fully transition to neuropsychiatric assessments. You will be part of a team where you have good opportunities to contribute to the development of the operations through active participation in ongoing improvement work. Your ideas and feedback are valuable and contribute to strengthening and further developing the operations. There is an opportunity for remote work with digital patient work corresponding to about one to two days per week, as the operations allow.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is a licensed psychologist. If you have relevant specialist training, experience in child and adolescent psychiatry, and/or experience working with neuropsychiatric assessments and treatment, this is an advantage. Since a portion of our patients are younger children, experience with assessments for young children is also an advantage. We also welcome applicants with language skills beyond Swedish.

Personal Qualities

We are looking for someone who is self-driven, structured, and meticulous, with the ability to work systematically throughout the assessment process. You are flexible in your interactions with patients and parents and can adapt your working methods to different needs and situations. You have excellent collaboration skills, good judgment, and a humble attitude. Working together with colleagues to develop and maintain a high-quality operation is a given for you. An interest in digitalization and the development of care processes is an advantage.

Great importance is placed on personal suitability.
