We offer an stimulating work environment with good opportunities to influence, develop, and create safe, evidence-based care with the child's and family's needs at the center.

BUP Danderyd 2 provides modern, specialized outpatient child and adolescent psychiatric care. We are responsible for the assessment and treatment of psychiatric conditions in children and young people up to 18 years of age, with our primary catchment area in Täby and Österåker.

Work is conducted according to a stepped-care model, where interventions are adapted to the individual's needs in accordance with BUP Stockholm's guidelines.

Many have extensive experience working in child and adolescent psychiatry. We work in a cross-professional manner within structured frameworks that enable collaboration, collegial support, and joint care planning. Through continuous development work, we strive to strengthen the quality of care and safeguard employees' competence, participation, and working environment.
