Vacant job

Dependency Center Stockholm is Sweden's largest dependency clinic. We offer support and assistance to people who have problems with alcohol, drugs, medication, or gambling. Our operations include acute and inpatient care, local outpatient care, and highly specialized care. We are also a clinic that provides university healthcare as well as research and education.

The Workplace

The Liljeholmen Dependency Clinic and the Tyresö Dependency Clinic belong to the Southern County's outpatient care and, together with other clinics in the county, have close cooperation. At our clinics, you get the best of both worlds. The clinic in Liljeholmen is one of the largest units, while the clinic in Tyresö is one of the smaller ones. Both clinics have low staff turnover with stable teams, a family-like work climate where we support and take care of each other, and access to good transportation. Both clinics receive adult individuals with harmful use and dependence on alcohol, drugs, and gambling. The work is carried out in collaboration with social services, primary care, and other psychiatric services.

The Role

As a psychologist, you work in close collaboration with the other professions at the clinic. At our clinic, psychologists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation coordinators, psychotherapists, nurses, doctors, and medical secretaries work together. The work includes psychiatric assessments, neuropsychiatric investigations, and psychological treatment, both individually and in groups.

We document in the journal system TakeCare.

Qualifications

• Licensed psychologist with experience in psychological treatment and neuropsychiatric investigations.
• Experience in psychiatry and dependency care is an advantage.
• Training in trauma-focused treatments is an advantage.

Personal Qualities

As a person:

• You are unpretentious, flexible, and solution-oriented, and find it easy to work in interdisciplinary teams for the patient's benefit.
• You have an open mind and the ability to meet people where they are without judging or moralizing.

The patient group often has complex needs and places high demands on flexibility and sensitivity. Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.

What We Offer

We offer exciting and meaningful work with a varied patient group with a high degree of psychiatric comorbidity. Dependency Center Stockholm works systematically with competence development and education, together with a continuous development of the care offering. Together, this creates good opportunities for you who want to develop in your position and are interested in shaping tomorrow's dependency care.

Dependency Center Stockholm offers various benefits such as flexible working hours, subsidized outpatient healthcare, a wellness allowance of 5,000 SEK, and one wellness hour per week when working full-time.
