Vacant job

We are now looking for you who want a varied and educational job within psychiatry, where you have the opportunity to work in both forensic psychiatry and adult psychiatry in a pool position.

As a caregiver in the pool, you have a home department to which you belong, but you work on several departments within adult psychiatry and forensic psychiatry. The patients you meet have varying diagnoses, conditions, and needs, which provides opportunities to learn and develop in your work. Your tasks include, among other things, basic care, observations, and documentation.

You will have a rolling 6-week schedule with 2 weeks of night shifts and 4 weeks of day/evening shifts, as well as working every other weekend.

In your position with us, we offer:

• Special compensation during weekends
• Continuous supervision
• Flexible working hours
• Relocation allowance for those moving to Västervik
• Wellness allowance and the opportunity to rent a bike with gross salary deduction
• Extra vacation days when you turn 40 and 50
• Assignments within the existing position, such as supervisor and CPR instructor

About you

You are trained as a caregiver or assistant nurse, or alternatively have an education that the employer deems equivalent. Previous work experience from psychiatry, treatment homes, or similar operations is meritorious.

The role requires that you have good cooperation skills, that you can be clear in your communication, and be able to provide patients with a low-affective approach.

You thrive in a varied work environment, are flexible in your working methods, and can easily adapt to changed circumstances.
