Vacant job

Do you want to work in a stable and well-functioning outpatient clinic where collaboration, quality, and patient focus are at the center?

The Psychiatric Clinic in Kristinehamn is now looking for a Specialist Physician to join our dedicated team. Here, you will have a varied general psychiatric assignment in a secure work environment with high competence, good development opportunities, and a supportive collegial climate.

Your Workplace

The clinic is organized within the Adult Psychiatry area of Region Värmland. In addition to the clinic in Kristinehamn, psychiatric outpatient care is available in Hagfors, Torsby, Arvika, Säffle, and Karlstad. The psychiatric clinic in Kristinehamn is centrally located, with a short commute to both Karlstad and Karlskoga.

We operate our unit in close cross-professional collaboration with permanent specialist physicians. We are a stable and well-functioning clinic with low staff turnover across all professional categories, and we will be fully staffed upon the appointment of this position. You will work in a clinic with a good and supportive work climate, with clear and established routines. Here, you will work in a team with high competence that prioritizes the patient's best interests.

At the Kristinehamn clinic, in addition to three other specialist physicians, we have psychologists, PTP psychologists, counselors, specialist nurses, basic trained nurses, training physicians, care administrators, and occupational therapists. We operate in some of the finest facilities in Region Värmland and are investing in developing collaboration within the area of psychiatric outpatient care and with care partners.

We continuously work to offer care and treatment in accordance with current guidelines. There are good opportunities for development and training within the scope of this assignment. Our operations are dynamic and based on patient needs; we value and strive for high accessibility and quality care for our patients. We are happy to discuss the conditions for either a Specialist Physician position or a Senior Consultant Physician position.

Your Responsibilities

We face the need to staff our stable and competent medical group and are therefore looking for a colleague with an interest in the broad and varied general psychiatric assignment. The work involves both investigative and treatment work in close cooperation with other physicians and cross-professionally with the rest of the colleagues at the clinic.

The assignment involves independent clinical treatment work, as well as assessments and participation in neuropsychiatric, psychotic, and personality-related investigations. In your role, you are expected to contribute to supervision. At the clinic, we run a "forked clinic" model, a work and supervision model aimed at improving the educational climate for physicians in training (AT, BT, or ST physicians) while increasing patient safety. The model involves several training physicians working in parallel and receiving patients in their own rooms, while a specialist physician acts as a supervisor without their own booked patients.

As a Specialist Physician, you are expected to work in a structured, flexible, and evidence-based manner, with good knowledge of psychiatry, the psychiatric assignment related to patient groups, methods of work, care levels, legislation, and interventions. We operate across three municipalities with clinics in Kristinehamn and Filipstad. The primary work is centered in Kristinehamn, but some travel may occur, such as home visits or LPT assessments. You will be offered a good introduction and continuous dialogue and support in how the work is conducted and structured. Our work group is consistently stable and well-functioning with high psychiatric competence.

Your Knowledge and Competencies

We are looking for you who are a licensed physician with specialist competence in psychiatry. We can offer different setups based on experience and wishes; there is an opportunity to discuss both a Specialist Physician position and a Senior Consultant Physician position.

To thrive in the role, you need personal maturity, a secure approach, and a good ability to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate with patients, relatives, colleagues, and care partners. You need very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, and be well-versed in documentation in accordance with Swedish healthcare legislation.

We place great emphasis on your personal qualities, the ability to apply current legislation, national care processes, and established methods of work within psychiatric care. In addition to having a strong patient focus, we seek a collaborative, flexible, and solution-focused colleague who appreciates being part of a team.
