Vacant job

BUP (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) in Halmstad is now seeking a licensed nurse with an interest in working with children and adolescents, and who is curious about or has experience in child psychiatry. The nursing team consists of 6 nurses, and we offer you a varied and developing work environment.

Job Responsibilities

At the BUP clinic in Halmstad, you will primarily work with medication follow-ups, information, and counseling, both via 1177, telephone, and in person. The work is varied and based on psychiatric nursing. You will work both independently and as part of a nursing team where everyone values supporting each other. You will also collaborate closely with our doctors and other staff. We hold regular team conferences where you can discuss cases and access the expertise of other professional categories. It is important to us that you feel secure in your work, and we continuously work on our introduction program where you will have a dedicated mentor to support you. Eventually, you will be expected to plan telephone and medication follow-ups independently, but this will be done in consultation with your mentor and department manager.

Other tasks may include leading parent education programs or other training for our patients and their relatives, depending on the needs of the unit. Collaboration with schools, social services, and other authorities is also a key part of the job. Active participation in the clinic's continuous development work is seen as a natural part of every employee's role.

Our goal is always to maintain close and effective collaboration with schools, social services, and other healthcare units to meet the needs of children and adolescents for a functioning network, thereby creating a holistic approach.

As an employee, you have access to broad psychiatric expertise across our different professions. We are constantly working to develop our operations. We place great emphasis on personal professional development and competence enhancement for our employees so that we can collectively meet the diverse needs of children and adolescents.
