Psychiatric Clinic Inpatient Care, Högland Hospital Eksjö

The psychiatric clinic currently consists of merged wards, but the goal is to reopen two separate units. We are now looking for nurses who want to help develop future psychiatric care. Join us on this exciting journey!

The Role of the Nurse

As a nurse, your responsibilities include:

• Leading all steps of the nursing process together with the ward team, in collaboration with the patient and their relatives
• Coordinating care plans in collaboration with doctors and the rest of the team
• Actively working on improvement projects to develop care

The positions are permanent with a 100% scope offered, but there is flexibility for other preferences. Start date is by agreement. Work schedules include days, evenings, and two out of five weekends. Preferred schedules are applied.

Your Future Workplace

At the psychiatric clinic in Höglandet, we are approximately 190 employees working in referral and assessment units, emergency care, inpatient care with two care wards, and outpatient clinics in Eksjö, Nässjö, Tranås, and Vetlanda.

For us, it is important to always keep the patient in focus. Our vision is "We care for a good life." We create trust and good conditions for efficient, high-quality specialist psychiatric care through a holistic approach and continuity in the care chain. Involvement and information for patients, relatives, and staff are prerequisites for success, as is collaboration with neighboring care providers.

The clinic's resources are distributed so that we take into account both the clinic perspective and county-wide psychiatric care processes. We participate in the development and implementation of joint care programs and psychiatric care processes in the region.

Your Profile

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. Experience in the profession and psychiatry is seen as meritorious but not a requirement.

Here, we value teamwork and place importance on the role of all professions in the whole and in creating meaningful 24/7 care. Therefore, it is important that you are unpretentious and enjoy collaborating.

Our Offer to You

As an employee here, we see how we can together create and build up the wards and offer meaningful 24/7 care with the patient in focus. We invite you to share ideas and have the opportunity to influence your and our work environment.

We are proud of our operations and each other, which is why we gladly invite you to see our facilities and meet future colleagues before you decide if the role is for you.

Introduction is adapted to your experience, and at the beginning of your employment, you will be assigned a mentor who works to give you good support in your introduction and to the operations.
