Job Description

The BUP clinic consists of several cross-professional teams. One team is responsible for new visits and assessment, while the other four work with assessment and treatment for children, young people, and families in need of specialist psychiatric care. All teams have high competence in their respective fields and have a large exchange and support from each other in daily work. At the clinic, we work according to national guidelines and proven experience.

You will belong to one of the clinic's teams, and your tasks will consist of a range of duties such as psychological treatment, telephone counseling, collaboration, and being active in one of the many group interventions we offer our patients and their relatives.

The duties also include close cooperation with neighboring healthcare providers and other societal actors. We also see that you will be an engaged participant in the knowledge and method development work actively conducted at the clinic.

About You

You have a degree in Social Work or equivalent, which the employer deems suitable. You have completed a psychotherapeutic further education equivalent to at least step 1. Experience in treatment work with children, adolescents, and their families is meritorious. We place great emphasis on personal maturity and suitability.

Working at the BUP clinic requires personal maturity. You need to be able to work independently in the work with patients and guardians, which within specialist psychiatry implies a need for security in your professional role as well as the ability to be flexible. The work is varied and includes both planned and urgent interventions. Since we work in cross-professional teams, the work also requires good ability to collaborate and communicate. Planning and evaluation of ongoing interventions is a fundamental part of daily work, which requires the ability to be structured regarding, for example, documentation.

Application and Employment

Interviews are expected to take place during week 20 and week 21.

Before employment in a patient-oriented role within Region Östergötland, you will be asked to fill out a health declaration.
