Job Description

As a nurse on Ward S102, you work with what is most important – our children and young people. You will have a central role in the nursing care and become a key person in the team.

The tasks are varied and include among other things:

• Leadership and collaboration with several professions
• Medication management, sampling, and educational meals
• Conversations and psychoeducation with patients and parents
• Collaboration with housing facilities, authorities, and neighboring care units

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. Experience from psychiatric care or healthcare for children and young people is meritorious but not a requirement. As a nurse, you need to feel confident with conversation as a tool and thrive in a varied work pace.

To thrive and fit in with us, your personal qualities are important. For this position, we are looking for a colleague who is self-assured, has the ability to look up, take in others' perspectives, and dares to lead others towards a common goal. The applicant must also enjoy working with relationship-building, as we on the ward use ourselves as our primary tool.
