About Us

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Intensive Clinic (BIM) sees children aged 0–17 with severe psychiatric issues and often complex life situations. BIM Eskilstuna is responsible for the northern part of the county's child psychiatric emergency duties during office hours. We also offer planned treatment interventions to patients who need closer contact or faster intervention than what the regular BUP clinic can offer.

As a counselor at BIM, you will be part of a multi-professional team that tailors interventions based on the patient's needs and the team's various competencies. We strive to increase accessibility and provide equitable, efficient, and patient-focused care. We will become a team of eight employees in different professions and wish to further adapt and develop our treatment and collaboration efforts to meet the needs of patients and families. Currently, we have a great need to build up better eating disorder care, and we are looking for you who want to help create a new team that will become specialists in eating disorders.
