Are you interested in working in a psychiatric specialist team and thereby gaining the opportunity for deepening knowledge and competence development within the diagnostic area?

Do you want to be part of developing a business and have the opportunity to influence and shape your tasks together with the team?

Then this might be a job for you!

Description

The Mental Health Care area within Hospitals in the West is responsible for psychiatric specialist care for children, young people, and adults in the municipalities of Kungälv, Kärra-Rödbo, Stenungsund, Tjörn, and Ale. The operations include adult psychiatric and child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinics, two inpatient wards for adults, an emergency clinic, mobile teams, and specialized units for LARO (Long-Acting Releasable Opioids), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and Eating Disorders.

The Unit

The Eating Disorder Unit is a specialist unit located at Kungälv Hospital, approximately a 20-minute bus ride from Gothenburg. The unit consists of a well-functioning team with doctors, nurses, care assistants, occupational therapists, dietitians, and physiotherapists. The current service offering mainly consists of day care for adults, with individual interventions for adults, children, and young people.

The unit is now receiving strengthened resources to offer day care for children, which creates a need for additional staff.

During the autumn, we will work on the design of our new family day care, where the team, doctors, and unit manager, together with other stakeholders, will review the treatment offerings, facilities, and working methods. We hope our new employees will soon be in place so that everyone can participate in this exciting development work and have the opportunity to influence future tasks.

Job Responsibilities

As a nurse at the Eating Disorder Unit, you will have very varied job responsibilities. An important part of the treatment is the somatic follow-up of patients, where you, together with the doctor and a nursing colleague, have the main responsibility. Examples of tasks beyond this include psychoeducation, support conversations, family conversations, collaboration, and meal support. The tasks are performed both independently and in collaboration with colleagues.

The development opportunities for you as a nurse in our operations are significant. We view competence development in the form of supervision and education within the area positively. We offer individualized introduction, where the setup is made in consultation with you.

Access to both team and professional supervision is available.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a registered nurse. Experience and interest in the target group are of great importance.

You will join a staff group with a good climate, high competence, and well-established basic structures to build upon. We work to a large extent in teams, so we place great emphasis on cooperation skills and personal suitability.

It is good to feel secure in your professional role, but at the same time be curious about others' perspectives. The ability to switch between independent work and interventions together with others is an asset in this work.

Other

We require extracts from the criminal record register for all offered positions within Mental Health Care operations.

Selection and interviews take place on an ongoing basis.

Welcome with your application!
