Our Operations

The Section for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry targets children and adolescents up to the age of 18 and includes both outpatient and inpatient care. We are currently looking for a psychologist for the unit BUP Start. BUP Start is responsible for handling all referrals and conducting all new assessments, which involves diagnosing and creating treatment plans. In-depth investigations and basic group therapy are also part of BUP Start's mission.

The operations are characterized by high competence, good accessibility, flexibility, willingness to collaborate, and joy in work. The clinic strives to work evidence-based and according to standardized care processes. We would be pleased if you are interested in working with development issues. As a new employee, you will receive a mentor. The team members are open, positive, competent, and ambitious, making it easy to integrate as a new employee at the clinic.

Your Role

We are looking for a psychologist for BUP Start. Take the chance and come to a pleasant workplace with high ceilings, exciting tasks, and good collegial support. Today, approximately 30 psychologists and 4 PTP-psychologists work together with specialist doctors, resident doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, and care assistants at the clinic.

The work as a psychologist involves assessing and investigating children and adolescents together with the rest of the team. If there is interest, the work can be supplemented by leading some of our group therapies. Continuous collaboration with parents and neighboring care providers is a natural part of the job. The work also includes collaboration with other parts of BUP, schools, and social services.

Being a psychologist at Akademiska Sjukhuset is exciting work where you will meet people in many different situations. You will also become part of a skilled team that supports and helps each other, while you work independently. Here, you can expect varied work with challenging tasks.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed psychologist with experience in investigations. It is advantageous if you have training in ADOS-2 as well as ADI-R and are accustomed to using these, as well as if you have experience working with children and young people.

Your Competence

You always put the patient first and are structured, solution-oriented, and analytical in your work. You are not only a skilled psychologist but also a collaborative and positive colleague who contributes to a good work environment. If you combine this with curiosity and thoroughness, you may be the right person for us.

Before a decision on employment, a check of the suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all job applicants who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and adolescents, or compulsory care for addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts.
