Vacant job

Welcome to apply for a completely new position as a Licensed Health and Social Care Counselor in the newly established SKOPS team at the DBT clinic!

The DBT clinic is part of Specialist Psychiatry and has a county-wide mandate with a flexible age limit starting from 16 years. Referrals come from other clinics within psychiatry.

We receive patients who have serious life-threatening or quality-of-life-impairing behaviors, emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD), and who have tried other adequate interventions without sufficient effect. We also have the mandate to receive patients who have serious life-threatening or quality-of-life-impairing behaviors and concomitant autism issues. Regarding this target group, the patient is referred to SKOPS (Collaboration Complex Problem Self-harm Behavior), a team working to create a stable base for the patient, such as supervision for residential staff, education, coordination, and skills training. The mandate for SKOPS is threefold: one part involves education, supervision, and consultation for professionals meeting individuals with life-threatening self-harm and cognitive impairment. Another part involves coordinating interventions to create conditions for treatment and continuity around individuals (e.g., applying for LSS, employment, support via SOL, contact with habilitation services). A third part of the mandate involves individual psychological treatment (skills training according to the adapted skills system). A patient in SKOPS can also be referred for full-scale DBT treatment when deemed appropriate. The SKOPS team is a small team consisting of three employees and organizationally belonging to the DBT clinic. SKOPS will consist of a psychologist, a counselor, and an occupational therapist, collaborating with DBT which consists of psychologists, counselors, and nurses working with DBT treatment. We also regularly participate in research regarding both methodology and target group. At DBT, we value a good working climate and show respect for everyone we meet in our work.

The clinical work in this position as a counselor in SKOPS will mean that you are part of the SKOPS team, which also includes a psychologist and an occupational therapist. The team will work in close collaboration with the DBT team with patients who are currently being treated or are to be referred there. The team will also collaborate with residential staff, habilitation services, and other actors to contribute to good care for the patient, including general psychiatry, inpatient care, the municipality, the Public Employment Service, and the Social Insurance Agency. As a counselor, you contribute knowledge regarding social work and coordination and participate in educational and coordinating efforts. You also have the opportunity to participate in follow-up and development work at the clinic as well as research. The work is carried out individually, together with the team, and in collaborations both within and outside the Region. You will have the opportunity to work in a creative team with the development of new interventions for the target group.

Licensed Health and Social Care Counselor with an interest in the target group of autism issues with serious life-threatening or quality-of-life-impairing behaviors. Experience with DBT, skills training, or patient work with this target group is meritorious. We will place great emphasis on personal qualities. In the work with us, you need to collaborate in the staff group, but also be able to be proactive, work independently, and continue to seek solutions when things do not go as planned.
