Do you want to be part of an organization that makes a difference for children and young people while having a developing and varied job? Then apply to us at Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Care (BUP) in Örebro.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Care (BUP) is tasked with providing specialized care to children and young people up to 18 years old with psychiatric conditions. Care is always provided in close collaboration with the child's network to create the best possible conditions for treatment and support. We work based on evidence-based methods to ensure safe and effective specialist psychiatric care. The operation is extensive and is carried out by a competent team with various professional roles: social workers, psychologists, doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, special educators, care assistants, and medical care administrators. We are located in modern and pleasant premises in central Örebro. Here, there is a good work climate with a high ceiling, where collaboration and engagement are in focus. BUP is currently in an exciting development phase that includes the development of, among other things, care processes. With us, you get a secure start with an introduction and a mentor as support. You become part of an operation with high competence and colleagues with varying experience, which gives good opportunities for development in your role. We invest in competence development that aligns with the operation's needs.

Job Responsibilities

The social worker's task is to add specific psychosocial competence to the operation based on the social worker's area of knowledge. This means contributing a holistic perspective on the child's or young person's situation, where the interaction between the individual, family, and surrounding factors is considered. With their education, the social worker has special knowledge of social and psychosocial processes, family dynamics, living conditions, as well as risk and protective factors, which complements the perspectives of other professions. The task includes using this competence in assessment, mapping, and follow-up, as well as designing and implementing interventions directed primarily towards guardians. The social worker also contributes knowledge about social legal issues, society's support measures, and collaboration with other actors, and ensures that the psychosocial perspective is integrated into the care. The work is characterized by a professional, ethical, and scientific approach with the child's best interests in focus. Your tasks include, among other things:

  • Parenting support - individual and group
  • Psychoeducational interventions
  • Mapping, anamnesis, and assessments
  • Suicide preventive work
  • Care and collaboration coordination with internal and external actors
  • Depending on competence and experience, other tasks within the professional role and the operation's mission may also be added.

You will meet patients both on-site at the clinic and digitally. You will work both independently and in interdisciplinary teams, and participate in joint conferences and professional meetings. We collaborate extensively with childcare, schools, social services, and other operations within healthcare. The operation actively works on adapting and developing. We are looking for colleagues who want to be involved in developing and contributing to our operation.

Qualifications

You are a secure and stable person who inspires trust in all situations. You work in a structured way and create order and clarity even when situations are complex. You have the ability to work independently within the framework of your professional role and are proactive and continue to seek solutions when things do not go as you planned. With your good collaboration skills, you actively contribute to a positive work climate and see the value in working together to achieve common goals. You are adaptable and easily adjust to changes, while maintaining focus on quality and results. Your empathetic and sensitive side allows you to understand and address different needs and perspectives - both among colleagues and patients and their networks. We will place great emphasis on personal qualities.

A degree in Social Work is required, as well as experience within Child and Adolescent Psychiatry or another operation targeting children and young people. It is meritorious to have a license as a healthcare social worker, as well as education and experience in individual and group interventions for the target group based on evidence-based methods.

The application should include a CV and a cover letter. Certificates, grades, diplomas, etc., should be provided at a possible interview.
