As a nursing assistant here, you work close to the patient with tasks including basic care, observations, and documentation. You are part of a team where different professional categories are represented, such as doctors, nurses, social workers, and psychologists.

You will collaborate with several actors, including the municipality's psychiatry services and our psychiatric outpatient clinics.
