Psychiatry Department

We are Akademiska Sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough challenges and fantastic moments, within a strong community of colleagues. We welcome your application!

Our Operations and Your Role

Working as a nurse in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) is an exciting role where you will meet people in many different situations. You will also become part of a skilled team that supports and helps each other, while you work independently. Here, you can expect a varied job with challenging tasks.

The position involves working with children, adolescents, and their families together with the rest of the team. You will see children and adolescents in individual visits, but also together with their family/network. The work is varied, and as a nurse, you may also work with telephone advice and clinic visits for follow-up and care. The role also includes collaboration with other CAP units, partner care providers, adult psychiatry, and social services.

There is close collaboration with the team's doctors regarding medication follow-up, and regular ward rounds are scheduled for medication-related matters. You will be assigned a mentor and receive regular supervision. Additionally, nurses at the clinics meet regularly for method development.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed nurse, preferably with specialist training in psychiatry and experience working with children and adolescents.

Your Competencies

You always put the patient first and are responsible and motivated in your work. You are not only a skilled nurse but also an engaged and positive colleague who contributes to a good work environment. If you combine this with curiosity and attention to detail, you may be the right person for us.

What We Offer

The position is a permanent employment starting from August 31st. We are located at Kungsgatan 38, right in the city center, and working hours are during the day, Monday to Friday. You will receive an introduction and a mentor during your first year with us.

With us, you will receive benefits that make a difference; read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/formaner/ (https://regionuppsala.se/formaner/)).
