Nurse for the Psychiatric Emergency Unit, Jönköping

The Role of the Nurse

At the emergency clinic, you will work together with colleagues on telephone advice, assessment, and prioritization of emergency patients. The psychiatric care on-call service works with high accessibility in the patient's daily life, and the tasks currently consist of assessments via telephone or home visits. The team has a large network of contacts, both within the clinic and at the hospital, but also externally with, for example, ambulances, police, and social services. An important part of the work is to maintain a good service level for patients and partners. We offer you a permanent full-time position with shifts during the day, evening, and night according to a schedule. Start date by agreement.
