Nurse for Forensic Psychiatry – Develop in a varied and meaningful role

Do you want to work in an environment where care, development, and collaboration are at the center? Our forensic psychiatric clinic is now seeking licensed nurses who want to help shape the future of care in a unit undergoing an exciting development phase!

The Forensic Psychiatric Clinic in Säter is responsible for highly specialized care at the county, regional, and national levels. We primarily treat patients referred for care under the Act on Forensic Psychiatric Care. Currently, we have 78 care beds distributed across 7 wards. Working within forensic psychiatry is both developing and interesting. If you are interested but unsure about what the job entails, there is an opportunity to observe (shadow) at the clinic.

We have recently launched our own nursing unit with the aim of strengthening collaboration, quality, and security in nursing care. As a nurse in the unit, you will become part of a close-knit and cohesive collegial group where knowledge, experience, and clinical assessments are shared. There is always an opportunity to discuss questions, reflect on working methods, and support each other in daily work.

For those new to the profession or new to forensic psychiatry, this means you will never stand alone; you will have natural support from colleagues and a clear structure for induction and supervision. For those with more experience or specialist competence, there is an opportunity to contribute your knowledge, support colleagues, and help develop nursing care at the clinic.

As a nurse with us, you play a central role in daily care work. The work is consultative, meaning you are responsible for several wards during your shift and use your competence where it is needed most. This includes leading and supervising nursing staff, as well as being responsible for clinical assessments, care planning, and ward rounds. The nursing care is varied, relationship-based, and person-centered, with a strong focus on good treatment, participation, and meeting each patient based on individual needs and conditions.

The work takes place in close collaboration with the clinic's multidisciplinary treatment team, where different professional competencies work together towards common goals. Our mission is to promote health and recovery and create conditions for a sustainable life without relapse into criminality.

Our expectations of you

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse, have good collaboration skills, and thrive in teams where the patient is seen as an active partner in care. You have an interest in care and treatment interventions and want to contribute to care characterized by commitment, quality, and participation.

Personal suitability is highly valued, and the extent of employment can be adapted to individual preferences.

At Region Dalarna, you are offered meaningful work with good development opportunities, whether you are at the beginning of your career or want to take the next step in your professional development.
