Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference for children, young people, and their families? We are looking for an engaged and knowledgeable counselor for our clinic in Örebro. With us, you will get a secure start in a well-functioning operation, with dedicated and experienced colleagues by your side.

The clinic for mental health issues in children and young people has been in operation since March 1, 2022, and is an important part of Region Örebro County's initiative to strengthen early care. The target group for the clinic is ages 0–18. We have gone through a development phase where we initially faced certain challenges. Through purposeful work, we now have well-functioning operations in place at our clinics in Örebro, Karlskoga, Lindesberg, and Kumla. Dedicated and competent employees who are passionate about the mental health of children and young people work here today, and we are now expanding with one more counselor in Örebro.

As a new employee with us, you will receive a secure onboarding process together with experienced colleagues. We believe in close collaboration between our clinics to provide children, young people, and their families with early, professional, and coordinated support.

This position will focus on children, young people, and their parents. You will provide evidence-based, stepwise interventions in the form of assessment, psychoeducation, and psychological treatment for health-promoting, preventive, and therapeutic purposes. Interventions are provided both in person and digitally.

You will work in a multidisciplinary team at one of our clinics. You will collaborate with neighboring healthcare providers and municipal operations in individual cases to create and make health-promoting interventions accessible at a broader level for the county's children.

We are looking for a counselor with basic psychotherapy training in CBT (step 1) who wants to develop and make primary care interventions accessible to children and young people with mental health issues.
