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 and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

About Us

Specialist Centre for Children and Young People is part of Angered Primary Care Hospital. We consist of two equivalent clinics, one in Angered and one in Gamlestaden. Here, motivated and development-oriented employees work.

Together, we provide specialist healthcare based on the medical and psychological needs of children and young people; we see children aged 0–18 years. Our patients often have issues involving medical, social, and psychological aspects. The activity also has a public health responsibility and works in close collaboration with municipal activities.

We are approximately 90 employees at our clinics working together. The team consists of psychologists, specialist doctors in child and adolescent medicine, child psychiatry, and neurology, pediatric nurses, social workers, speech therapists, dietitians, special educators, as well as medical secretaries and receptionists.

The activity has been assigned an additional, temporary assignment to offer psychological treatment to children aged 0–5 years with mild mental health issues. The assignment runs from June 2026 to December 2027. The assignment involves providing psychological treatment for problems/symptoms that do not require specialist psychiatric interventions, as well as being able to assess the need for other care or support.

The person we are looking for will work both within our specialist assignment and in the temporary treatment assignment.

Our clinics are open Monday to Friday during daytime hours, and we have mostly scheduled appointments.

We offer you professional supervision together with your psychologist colleagues.

About You

You want to work part of your position with psychological treatment for small children and part of your time with neuropsychiatric assessments, investigations, and interventions within our other specialist assignments. You are happy to participate in one of our multi-professional teams regarding children with medical diagnoses.

We are looking for you who have experience and feel confident in independently performing assessments and investigations regarding developmental neurological functional impairments as well as mental health issues in children aged 0-5 years.

• Training in AIDOS-2, WPPSI-IV, Griffiths III, VIPP-SD, WWW, CPP, DC: 0–5, CBT, or other short-term and/or behavior-oriented treatment methods for younger children.

Since the work involves collaborating with parents, different professional groups, and other healthcare providers, good collaboration skills are required.

You work in a structured manner, are clear and organized, while also being flexible in your working method. To thrive with us, you need to enjoy working in multi-professional teams but also be able to work independently. You must master the Swedish language in speech and writing.
