Here we gather care for patients over 18 years old with psychotic illness into one organizational unit. We offer assessment, investigation, and treatment according to national guidelines and regional care programs. Within Psychiatric Care Stockholm, we conduct development work, education, and research regarding psychotic illness. We work in multidisciplinary teams to provide the best possible care and treatment around the patient.

Description

We are now looking for a nurse who wants to help shape the future of psychiatric care.

The Psychosis Unit in Södertälje strives for high flexibility, accessibility, and individualized interventions. We offer clinic visits and home visits when needed.

Here, nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and medical secretaries work together to offer support and care to patients with psychotic illnesses during their rehabilitation. The unit has two psychosis teams offering treatment to patients with chronic psychotic illness, as well as a team specifically focused on receiving patients with first-episode psychosis.

We are a well-functioning and fully staffed unit with very strong team cohesion. The unit has a well-established and engaged group of six permanent nurses. As one of them will be studying to become a specialist nurse full-time for one year, we are now looking for a substitute.
