Vacant job

Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Region of Västra Götaland and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Primary Care Hospital, Högsbo Primary Care Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3,000 employees work for us every day to provide good, safe, and high-quality specialist healthcare.

We are now looking for a nurse for our mobile team at Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (BUP)!

Description

BUP Affective Clinic Kungälv belongs to the Psychiatry Department at Kungälv Hospital and is located at Rollsbovägen 58 in Kungälv. There are good connections to Gothenburg. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Kungälv Hospital has a clinic in Stenungsund and two clinics in Kungälv. In addition to the affective clinic, there is a clinic for patients with neuropsychiatric conditions in Kungälv. We are currently looking for an employee for the mobile team, which is located at the affective clinic.

The clinic includes senior physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, secretaries, and a unit manager. Speech therapists and occupational therapists, who are employed by the neuropsychiatric unit, are also available. The operations are characterized by high competence and a high degree of collaboration, carried out from an interdisciplinary perspective. In addition to various types of conversations, we also conduct group activities. All professional groups receive continuous supervision based on their profession. BUP Affective Clinic has daytime emergency readiness.

We launched the mobile team in our unit as a project in autumn 2023, and the team was made permanent in 2025. The mobile team receives patients in our catchment area; Tjörn, Stenungsund, Kungälv, and Ale municipalities, who are already active at one of the three BUP clinics.

Responsibilities

Assessments and treatment interventions aimed at children and adolescents with psychiatric conditions who, for various reasons, have difficulty attending the clinic or school, or alternatively in cases where an intervention in the home would be significant. This may, for example, involve following up sub-acute patients or making interventions aimed at children and/or parents to help get the child to school or to the clinic for a booked appointment. The work is carried out on behalf of one of the BUP clinics and in consultation with the unit manager, but is conducted independently. The work involves collaboration with neighboring healthcare providers, schools, and social services.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone interested in working in our mobile team within Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. You are a person with drive and commitment who is used to working independently and is not afraid of new challenges. Experience of working in psychiatry and with children and young people is meritorious. Previous experience of mobile work is also meritorious. As most of the work will take place outside the clinic, you must have a Category B driver's license. A company car is provided.

As we consider it important that you thrive with us, we place great emphasis on teamwork skills and personal suitability.

Other

We require extracts from the criminal record register for all offered positions within the Psychiatry Department.

Selection and interviews take place continuously during the application period.

We warmly welcome your application!
