Vacant job

Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Region of Västra Götaland and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Primary Care Hospital, Högsbo Primary Care Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3,000 employees work with us every day to provide good, safe, and high-quality specialist healthcare.

Are you interested in working in a psychiatric specialist team and thereby gaining the opportunity for in-depth knowledge and competence development within the diagnostic field? Then this might be for you!

The Region of Västra Götaland has decided to strengthen eating disorder care in the region. The decision includes an investment in day-care places for children under 18 years of age.

The Operations

The Psychiatry Operations area within Hospitals in the West is responsible for psychiatric specialist care for children, young people, and adults in the municipalities of Kungälv, Kärra-Rödbo, Stenungsund, Tjörn, and Ale. The operations include adult psychiatric and child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinics, two wards for adults, an emergency clinic, mobile teams, and specialized units for LARO, DBT, and Eating Disorders.

The Unit

The Eating Disorder Unit is a specialist clinic located at Kungälv Hospital, approximately a 20-minute bus ride from Gothenburg. The clinic consists of a well-functioning team of doctors, nurses, care assistants, occupational therapists, dietitians, and physiotherapists.

The unit's mission is to provide specialized eating disorder care for both children and adults. The treatment offerings include, among other things, day care, family therapy, and individual outpatient interventions. The unit is now receiving enhanced resources to offer day care for children.

Job Responsibilities

You will primarily work with patients under 18 years of age, both in family day care, in groups, and through individual interventions. The work requires flexibility as the tasks are varied and require collaboration across professional boundaries.

We offer individualized introductions, where the setup is made in consultation with you.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a social worker, social pedagogue, nurse, or care assistant with basic training in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) or FBT (Family-Based Therapy). We preferably see that you have experience in psychiatric specialist care/specialized eating disorder care.

We work extensively in teams; therefore, we place great emphasis on teamwork skills and personal suitability. We are looking for someone who is confident in their professional role but also curious about others' perspectives. The ability to switch between independent work and collaborative interventions is an important trait.

You will be part of a staff group with a good climate, high competence, and well-established basic structures to build upon.

Other

We require extracts from the suspicion and criminal record registers for all offered positions within the Psychiatry Operations.
