Nurse at the Psychiatric Clinic at Norrland University Hospital

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for research and innovation to yield results.

The Psychiatric Clinic at Norrland University Hospital in Umeå is the largest psychiatric clinic in Norrland with over 400 employees. We have three general psychiatric wards, forensic psychiatric services, and several specialized outpatient and treatment units.

The Psychiatric Clinic works for equitable care for all and care based on research and clinical experience.

We are looking for a nurse with an interest in psychiatric care for ward 2, which is a general psychiatric ward with acute admissions for patients with psychotic disorders, affective diagnoses, and patients over 60 years old.

The ward has 16 beds and cares for both HSL and LPT patients. On ward 2, we work with person-centered care, focusing on the development and improvement of the care environment, nursing, and inpatient treatment interventions for the patient groups we meet.

On the ward, doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants work together. We work in teams around the patient and have close collaboration within the clinic and with neighboring care providers. Common partners include relatives, outpatient care, social psychiatry, and administrative law.

As a nurse at the psychiatric clinic, there are opportunities for specialist training, internal and external education, or to work on cross-clinic assignments.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a nurse with us, you contribute to taking good care of others and helping people feel better.

The work as a nurse with us involves, among other things, collaborating with your team colleagues to map and identify specific nursing needs for individual patients and based on that, plan the nursing team's acute interventions and measures as well as evaluate these.

You will also be involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating specific nursing strategies and, in dialogue with doctors, developing tailored treatment plans, working motivationally with various pedagogical strategies, and compiling and evaluating these interventions.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. If you have previously worked in psychiatric care and/or 24-hour care, we consider that an advantage.

You have a genuine interest in meeting people with psychiatric diagnoses in their treatment, care, and daily life. You are a present and warm person who, with knowledge and care, contributes to a holistic view that makes the care process better and safer.
