About Us

Ward 365 is a general psychiatric inpatient unit with 15 beds, located at Östra Sjukhuset. We treat individuals with conditions such as depression, crisis reactions, and personality disorders. We work in teams where doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, and social workers collaborate to provide good care for the patient. We strive for a person-centered approach where the patient is involved in their care and treatment. We also value our work environment and create a place where everyone enjoys working.

About the Job

Working as a healthcare assistant means you are a vital part of the team working to ensure all patients receive good and safe care. As a healthcare assistant, you will have a varied role focused on patient-facing care, performing daily nursing care together with the care team. A key part of the job is to co-create care plans with the patient based on identified needs and continuously evaluate and follow up on the care we provide. As a healthcare assistant here, you will have a varied role involving supportive conversations, checks such as blood pressure monitoring and blood sampling, as well as basic nursing care. A central part of the job is to provide psychiatric nursing care. This includes supporting patients during difficult times, having psycho-pedagogical conversations, and creating conditions for the patient to feel safety, predictability, and stability.

About You

You will work closely with patients and possess a good manner, understanding, and interest in people. You find it easy to listen and communicate with both patients and their relatives, always working from a patient-focused approach.

Since you work in a team and have contact with various partners, you need to have good collaboration skills.

You are secure and stable in yourself and can adapt to situations and prioritize accordingly. To thrive in this role, you need to be flexible, used to taking initiative, and able to organize and plan your work independently.

You have the ability to meet the patient's needs and coordinate tasks for the team based on the different competencies of the staff. We would appreciate if you have previous experience in psychiatric care, but this is not a requirement. Personal suitability is highly valued during recruitment.

We look forward to receiving your application!
