Your Workplace

Are you a newly graduated psychologist looking to work in schools with health-promoting and preventive measures at the individual, group, and organizational level? Do you want to work with competent and wonderful colleagues and have an approachable manager? Then you should apply to us! You and your colleagues here work together with educators and other student health professionals to ensure that all our students feel good, thrive in school, and complete their studies.

Here, you will have good opportunities to work with evidence-based methods and contribute to better health and learning for the municipality's students. You collaborate closely and cross-professionally with members of your student health teams as part of the overall student health at each school. With us, you will also be part of an ambitious and development-oriented unit, which, in addition to the Psychology Team, consists of two other teams: the Speech Therapy Team and the Attendance Team. The unit is centrally organized with shared office facilities to work from, and most of the work takes place at the schools in direct collaboration with teachers, student health teams, and principals. Here, you and your colleagues support the operations with specialized competencies in child and student health. The unit is characterized by high competence, systematic work, and a spirit of development with a focus on the needs of students and operations.

Your Assignment

As a PTP psychologist, you will be part of a central child and student health team and primarily work in health promotion and prevention to support students' development towards educational goals. Together with teachers, principals, and student health colleagues, you will identify needs and plan, implement, and evaluate interventions based on your psychological expertise.

• Contributing to the implementation of evidence-based and evidence-informed methods and approaches (for example, methods and interventions based on positive behavior support/TBA and teaching based on cognitive science).

As part of your individual-focused psychological work during your PTP, you will also conduct individual interventions with students, for example, in cases of problematic school absence or school-related mental health issues. You document your individual interventions according to health and medical care legislation in the journal system Prorenata. The principals lead the student health work at the schools, and you will collaborate closely with the school's staff and other student health professionals.

The psychology team meets weekly for joint work on operational, development, and patient safety issues.
