Description

Eating disorder care is a prioritized area in the Region of Västra Götaland and is currently growing in several places. The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Eating Disorder Clinic in Uddevalla is no exception, and last year we expanded both our premises and staff. As these changes begin to take shape, we see both a need and room to further expand the team!

The Eating Disorder Clinic for Children and Young People is a specialist service within child and adolescent psychiatry at NU Hospital. Our primary mission is to treat children and teenagers with serious eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, as well as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

We work in teams consisting of nurses, counselors, doctors, dietitians, physiotherapists, and unit managers. The work group is independent and proactive, with a burning commitment to the young people and their families, and great care for their colleagues. The work climate is open and communicative, with a balance of seriousness and laughter.

Treatment at the clinic takes place individually and/or in groups, as well as through family therapy and meal support. We have also recently started a family day care service to better meet the needs of our patients and to reduce the need for inpatient care.

We provide consultations to other units of the CAMHS clinic and other healthcare providers. The work also involves collaborating with schools, social services, and other organizations regarding children with eating disorders.

We are now looking for another dedicated nurse to join our team!

Job Description

The Eating Disorder Clinic is located in spacious premises with plenty of room to meet with families individually and together, depending on the patients' needs. We share premises with the adult psychiatry eating disorder clinic, which provides a valuable opportunity for exchange and collaboration.

You will work with family and individual treatment, based on your competence and experience. As a nurse, you have special responsibility for somatic checks and follow-up of medication treatment.

Work in the family day care service may become relevant, where meal support is combined with environmental therapeutic elements. Regardless of the intervention, the focus is on strengthening the family's ability to master the illness themselves while providing support when needed.

The work also involves collaborating with schools, social services, and other organizations regarding children with eating disorders.

Collaboration within the team occurs continuously in daily life and at a treatment conference once a week. There are good opportunities for further education within the area, and we work systematically with induction, mentoring, and joint competence development. Staff have regular external supervision. Since the clinic is in a development phase, you may be involved in environmental scanning, knowledge gathering, collaboration with similar services, and method development.

Welcome to be part of developing the future of eating disorder care at NU Hospital!
