Our Operations

The Team for Temporary Reinforced Interventions (TFI) is located within the reinforced outpatient care of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The team's mission is to carry out short, intensive outpatient interventions. The purpose of these interventions is to promptly stabilize child psychiatric patients. The interventions target the individual, the family, and the broader context surrounding the child/adolescent, based on where the need is assessed to be greatest. We work in pairs around each family. The interventions are mobile and primarily take place in the home, but can also occur at the clinic. Working hours are during standard office hours. Within the TFI role, there is an opportunity to conduct longer treatment interventions in some cases.

There are four full-time positions in the team, three of which are currently filled. Competence exists among other things in the family therapy method FFT, and the therapists in the team have experience/training in psychiatry and/or social work.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala assigns all permanent staff for wartime service based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime, but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of the suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric healthcare, habilitation, care of children and adolescents, or involuntary care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
