About the job

Your main tasks involve assessing and treating mental and behavioral health issues within the framework of primary care. The focus is on preventive and early interventions, based on common reasons for seeking care at a health centre. You work based on the needs of the registered population, utilizing digital care meetings, internet-based and group therapy, as well as physical individual visits.

We work according to primary care-oriented methods, which include high accessibility, stepped/stratified care, and collaboration with other professions and care partners. It is important that you have an interest in working in primary care, which means prioritizing high accessibility for all residents with mental and behavioral health issues. Interventions range from psychoeducation and advice on self-care, to guided treatment with literature or internet therapy, to group therapy or individual treatment measures. To meet the needs of the entire patient population, the ability to vary the method and scope of treatment interventions is required.

You and your colleagues, together with the manager, are responsible for the development of the health centre in a continuous improvement process. Supervision of psychology candidates or PTP-psychologists may be relevant.

• Work as a psychologist at the primary care level
• Stepped/stratified care
• Internet-based psychological treatment
• Group therapy

We are looking for someone who is attentive and accommodating, with good communication skills and the ability to identify individuals' unique needs. Through initiative and active engagement, you want to participate in the development of the operations and contribute as a consultative resource in the daily interdisciplinary collaboration at the health centre.

A professional working method and a good attitude towards customers, patients, and colleagues are a matter of course for you. We also expect you to live up to Närhälsan's core values: Reliable, Caring, and Innovative.

About the recruitment process

Selection takes place in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department, who invite relevant candidates to a telephone interview. The recruiting manager then makes a second selection of the applicants and invites them to an interview at the health centre.

We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe concrete situations as much as possible and try to avoid generalized answers – this is so that we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the result was.
