Job Responsibilities

As a psychologist in Child and Parent Health, the role involves individual- and family-oriented interventions, covering both primary preventive and indicated treatment interventions. The tasks consist of independent, qualified treatment, assessment, and investigation work for children aged zero to six, parents, and expectant parents.

The psychologists' assignments are characterized by high accessibility and high psychological competence regarding parenthood and the development of young children in interaction with their surroundings. The psychologists' efforts aim in various ways to strengthen the interaction between the child and the parent, as well as to promote health and prevent, detect, and treat mental illness that affects parenting. Consultation for parents experiencing problems in parenting is part of the psychologist's role, as are developmental assessments when there is concern about significantly delayed general development.

We primarily work through consultations at the clinic, but visits to various facilities for, for example, consultations or group parent education may also be included. We also work remotely with telephone counseling and video calls. The clinical work is based on a salutogenic approach.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed psychologist with eligibility to practice within Swedish healthcare. Proficiency in Swedish corresponding to at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe's scale is a requirement. Knowledge and/or experience of maternity, child, and family psychology work, as well as psychotherapeutic treatment methods focused on children, parents, and families, are considered meritorious. Similarly, experience of consultation, supervision, psychological treatment with a relational focus, and/or other experience of working with children and parents.

As a psychologist in Child and Parent Health, the ability to work independently and good teamwork skills are required, as the work includes independent assessment and treatment work, team-based assessments in collaboration with other relevant health care personnel, as well as supervision and consultation. For the position, it is important that you have the ability to meet parents and children in a listening and respectful manner. Furthermore, we value that you contribute to our good work climate through your positive attitude and that you have the ability to adapt when conditions change.
