Your Role

As a psychologist, you work with mental ill-health and the psychological aspects of health complaints, contributing the psychological perspective that complements the medical and social perspectives at the healthcare centre. You work independently with adults aged 18 and over and collaborate with other professional categories at the healthcare centre and other actors.

Common problem areas that the psychologist encounters include depression, anxiety issues, sleep problems, pain, and stress. We work with triage, stepwise assessment, and treatment based on a region-wide care process for mental ill-health.

The work involves psychological assessment and diagnostics, counseling, treatment, and handling of referrals. Treatment is provided according to national knowledge-based guidelines, both in groups and individually, via video and in person. Our interventions include support for self-help, psychological counseling, as well as shorter and longer interventions based on patient needs. As a psychologist, you will be part of our psychosocial team consisting of 1 psychologist and 1 counselor. Supervision and training assignments for other staff may occur. Collaboration takes place with other healthcare centres in the municipality and neighboring municipalities.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed psychologist with a CBT focus and who want to make a difference in primary care.

You have good knowledge of diagnostics and evidence-based treatment methods, and preferably experience of working within primary care. Here, you will meet a broad patient group, which means you need to thrive in a job with a high patient flow where you vary between assessments, shorter, and longer treatment interventions.

You have good clinical judgment and feel secure in making well-considered prioritizations. You easily absorb and weigh together complex information and make decisions in a responsible and professional manner. For us, it is important that you have good pedagogical skills and that you easily create trusting relationships. You have a genuine interest in people and the ability to put yourself in the patient's perspective and situation.

We also believe that you:

• Collaborate well with others and are sensitive in meetings with both colleagues and patients
• Take responsibility for your work and drive your tasks forward in a structured way
• Plan and prioritize effectively within given frameworks
• Enjoy working both independently and in teams
• Have a quality-conscious work approach and see the whole picture in the operations

Here, you have the opportunity to contribute to both patient well-being and the development of the operations. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
