Vacant job

We are now looking for you who want to become our new colleague on Ward 21.

Here you will meet patients with varying needs, ranging from short-term acute interventions to more long-term medical and treatment interventions. Your responsibilities include medication management, psychiatric nursing and assessment, supportive conversations, telephone advice, and documentation.

Our operations are characterized by a strong patient focus, high quality and safety, as well as close collaboration between different professional groups. We have a close and good dialogue between outpatient and inpatient care with short decision-making paths.

We offer good opportunities for continuous development and learning in your work. In your position, you will also have the opportunity for:

• Special compensation during weekends
• Continuous supervision
• Educational employment where you get the opportunity to further educate yourself during paid working hours
• Flexible working hours
• Relocation allowance for those moving to Västervik
• Wellness allowance and the opportunity to rent a bicycle with gross salary deduction
• Extra vacation days when you turn 40 and 50

About you

You are a licensed nurse and enjoy working in a solution-focused manner.

A very good ability to collaborate and create trusting relationships is important in the role. Since you will be working with patients in vulnerable situations, you are required to have a respectful and professional approach and be able to provide patients with a low-arousal response.

As a nurse, you have a leadership role on the ward, which means you need to be good at communicating, be clear, and take initiative in your work. To thrive with us, you need to enjoy varied work, be flexible in your working methods, and have the ability to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.

With commitment and a positive attitude, you contribute together with your colleagues to a good work climate where we all collaborate and help each other.

Previous work experience from psychiatry, treatment homes, corrections, or similar operations is meritorious.

Your future workplace

Patients are also treated on a voluntary basis. You will meet patients with varying diagnoses, conditions, and needs, which makes the work varied and developmental.
