Your responsibilities

As a doctor in forensic psychiatry, you will have the opportunity to follow your patients over a longer period and work with both treatment as well as habilitation and rehabilitation.

On-call duty is included in the position. The operation has its own back-on-call line within the region, meaning that on-call duties are shared between doctors on weekdays and weekends.

In the role of Chief Physician:

• You have good medical knowledge and competence for the task of being the medically and legally responsible person in the operation.
• You participate in the management group's work.

We are looking for you who have a genuine commitment to forensic psychiatry and who want to actively contribute to the continued development of the operation within Region Värmland. You have a Swedish medical license and are a specialist in psychiatry, or alternatively, you are in the final phase of your specialist training.
