We are looking for a psychiatric nurse

We are looking for a psychiatric nurse who wants to work in an organization with a holistic perspective on children and families.

With us, you will be part of a team with clear working methods and good development opportunities.

The Stockholm Center for Eating Disorders (SCÄ) is one of the largest specialist clinics in the world for patients with eating disorders and receives patients of all ages. We have a well-developed operation with digital care, outpatient care, intensive outpatient care, day care, inpatient care, and nationally specialized care for both adults, children, and adolescents. Today, we have nearly 280 employees. Our outpatient and day care services are located in Södermalm, and our inpatient care is at Danderyd Hospital.

Inpatient care for children and adolescents has space for 12 families. Family work is a central role in the treatment where parents are present with their children throughout the treatment period and are strengthened in their parental role while gaining increased knowledge about the eating disorder. Here, we work closely in teams with nurses, nursing assistants, psychiatrists, dietitians, and social workers. Together we use evidence-based methods, such as FBT (Family-Based Treatment), to provide each family with the tools they need for sustainable change.

Together with us, you will have the opportunity to grow, thrive, and continue to develop our eating disorder care.
