Description

Join us on our journey to create better conditions for psychiatric care in Skaraborg!

We are now looking for a nurse for our Addiction Department, which is an acute care unit belonging to SkaS Adult Psychiatry. The department is an acute care unit with 16 beds intended for patients needing inpatient psychiatric care and for patients with addiction issues. Patients are treated either on a voluntary basis or under the Mental Health Act (LPT). In psychiatry, we look at the whole person, and the goal is for every patient to have a smooth journey through the healthcare system. We have a person-centered approach where care is planned and carried out in consultation with the patient, relatives, outpatient care, the municipality, and other partners.

The inpatient care in Adult Psychiatry is a modern workplace in completely new premises that are specially adapted and designed for psychiatry, providing security and comfort for both patients and staff.

Here, as a nurse, you will have the opportunity to get to know patients in a completely different way and experience situations that are both engaging and emotional. These are moments of joy, empathy, and care that, together with treatment, make a difference for our patients. A workplace where we make a difference together.

Responsibilities

At the Addiction Department, your responsibilities as a nurse typically include medication management, as well as the assessment, planning, and nursing care for individual patients in collaboration with your colleagues. We work closely together in teams with several different professional disciplines, with the patient's care as the focus.

We help you get started with an introduction, and you will receive guidance from committed and competent colleagues. The clinic offers internal training opportunities where all professions within inpatient care contribute to further specialization in psychiatry.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a registered nurse, where experience of psychiatric care and specialist training in psychiatry is meritorious. As a nurse here, it is important that you are committed, structured, solution-focused, and have a good ability to see the big picture. You also need to have good communication and collaboration skills; an interest in developing and being developed, as well as a focus on the patient's needs.

Great importance is attached to personal suitability.

Other

In appointments within psychiatry, we request extracts from the suspicion and criminal records register. This request is handled by the employer.

If you are a newly graduated nurse, you will participate in the Clinical Foundation Year, which is our introduction program. The Clinical Foundation Year is mandatory and lasts during the first year of your employment with us. It includes introduction days, supervision and training days, as well as observation days. The purpose of the Clinical Foundation Year is to create good conditions for newly graduated nurses to strengthen their theoretical knowledge and practice skills, as well as grow into their new profession.

In the event of recruiting nurses with foreign qualifications/specialist certificates, the current position will be preceded by a process to meet the requirements for Swedish qualification/specialist certificate.

The position is currently organized with a schedule where work shifts are mainly scheduled at night. You are employed around the clock, and the scheduling of working hours may be adjusted.

We will have ongoing interviews during the advertising period, so do not hesitate to submit your application today.
