At Region Dalarna, you will find meaningful work where you can make a difference. Together, we work towards a sustainable Dalarna with development potential in all parts of the county.

Do you want to be part of building a new operation that makes a real difference for children and young people?

Region Dalarna's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (BUP) within the Division of Psychiatry and Rehabilitation is now seeking a Registered Nurse for the new county-wide operation Mini-Maria in Falun and Mora – accessible clinics for children and young people up to 21 years old with risky use, harmful use, or addiction, with or without psychiatric comorbidity. Here you are offered meaningful work with a clear focus on children and young people, where you have the opportunity to help build a new operation from the ground up. Mini-Maria is conducted within the framework of a county-wide collaboration between Region Dalarna and the municipalities of Dalarna, with Falu Municipality and Mora Municipality as host municipalities.

We are now looking for a nurse for the clinic in Mora with a satellite clinic in Älvdalen. The operation is planned to start in autumn 2026. In this role, you will have a unique opportunity to shape working methods, collaboration, and content together with engaged colleagues from both the municipality and the region. The work is characterized by interdisciplinary teamwork, trust, and collaboration, with good opportunities for continuous competence development as the operation grows and develops.

Mini-Maria is a low-threshold operation that offers counseling, support, and treatment to children and young people as well as their relatives. The work is based on the individual's needs and relies on evidence-based methods and national guidelines. The main clinics in Falun and Mora will have satellite clinics in Avesta and Älvdalen that are staffed regularly. The work takes place in interdisciplinary teams together with, among others, doctors, psychologists, midwives, and therapists from the municipality.

As a nurse at Mini-Maria, you will:

• Work with counseling, support, and treatment for children and young people up to 21 years old.
• Work with psychiatric nursing in individual contacts and teams.
• Conduct qualified telephone counseling and digital healthcare contacts.
• Handle medications and medical follow-ups.
• Work integrated and parallel with psychosocial issues and potential psychiatric comorbidity.
• Collaborate closely with other healthcare services in the region as well as home municipalities, schools, and other actors based on the individual's needs.
• Actively participate in the establishment of the operation, including the development of routines and working methods.
• Work both at the main clinic in Mora and at the satellite clinic in Älvdalen.
• Conduct conversations both physically and digitally.
• The work is primarily during daytime, Monday–Friday, with evening work approximately once per week.

• Registered Nurse.
• Good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
• Category B driver's license.

• Experience working in child and adolescent psychiatry.
• Experience working in risky use, harmful use, or addiction and/or psychiatry, preferably directed towards children and young people.
• Experience working with comorbidity – risky use, harmful use, or addiction in combination with other psychiatric issues.
• Further education in psychiatric care (VUB).
• CBT – Basic psychotherapy education (step 1).
• Education and/or experience in treatment methods such as MI, MET, ÅP, MOVE, A-CRA, CBT, or similar evidence-based methods.

To thrive and succeed in the role, you need to be flexible, solution-focused, and have a needs-driven approach where you can confidently adapt interventions based on the individual you meet. You are confident in meeting children and young people as well as their relatives and have an easy time building trusting relationships. You work independently with responsibility for your tasks, while also enjoying working in teams and seeing collaboration as a natural part of the work. Furthermore, you are structured, communicative, and have a reflective attitude that contributes to quality and development in the work.
