Vacant job

Department 5 is a child and adolescent psychiatric ward with 6 beds and the entire County of Örebro as its catchment area. We admit children and adolescents with severe psychiatric conditions for acute inpatient care. At our facility, patients are treated together with their guardian(s), and the primary goal of the inpatient stay is to stabilize acute distress so that the patient can return home and continue their care in outpatient services. On Department 5, we work in a cohesive multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, social workers, care assistants, doctors, teachers, and the unit manager. We actively engage in development work to address our mission in a safe and professional manner.

The responsibilities include psychiatric nursing, including relationship-building, supportive conversations, and motivational work. Medication management is one of the tasks, along with contact with relatives and collaboration with our outpatient care and other healthcare partners. As a nurse, you lead and distribute the work, and together with the rest of the team, you are responsible for ensuring that patients receive good care and a good recovery.

We are primarily seeking specialist nurses with a focus on psychiatry, but licensed nurses without a specialist degree are also welcome to apply.

As a new employee, you will be offered a mentor for support in your work. You need to be confident in your professional role, have good verbal and written communication skills, maintain high-quality documentation, be responsible, have good collaboration skills, sound judgment, and the ability to make independent decisions.

We value an open and positive attitude, with the patient at the center. It is important that you are unpretentious, curious to learn new things, and see constructive feedback as a natural part of daily work for your own and others' development. Contributing to the development and quality work of the operations is seen as a natural part of your job. Personal suitability will be given great weight.

The application should include a CV and a cover letter. Certificates, grades, diplomas, etc., should be provided at a potential interview. Selection and interviews are conducted on a rolling basis.
