Are you a psychologist, and would you like to be part of our OPUS house at the Copenhagen Psychiatric Center?

One of our skilled psychologists is moving on in their career, which is why we at OPUS NV are now seeking a psychologist for our capable, socially inclusive and engaged OPUS team.

There is now an opportunity to become part of the dynamic and professionally developing community in the attractive premises at Lersø Parkallé, which offers a good learning environment for both newer and more experienced staff. Psychiatric Center Copenhagen is brought together in one building with 4 independent teams.

What is OPUS?

OPUS is a 2-year interdisciplinary, outpatient treatment program for young adults with a debut psychosis. The treatment is cognitive-behavioral therapy-based.

The current interdisciplinary OPUS NV team consists of specialists in psychiatry, a psychologist, nurses, occupational therapists and a social worker. It is a team characterized by high professionalism, a good and engaged environment and exceptionally good collaboration.

What will you do?

As with other professional groups in OPUS, the primary task for the psychologist in an OPUS team is to work as the primary therapist (contact person). Much of the primary therapist work is conversation-based and relationship-oriented, but the primary therapist function also has a coordinating role in relation to the management and planning of the 2-year treatment course, including collaboration with both internal treatment offers, inpatient wards at the Psychiatric Center Copenhagen and external partners (e.g. Job Center, Social Administration and social psychiatry services).

We work assertively with responsibility for contact-maintenance and contact with patients can also take place as home visits. Great emphasis is placed on involving relatives, who are invited to conversations, education and participation in multi-family groups.

In addition to the primary therapist function, psychologists in the OPUS house participate in teaching and group offerings for patients and relatives, as well as carry out preliminary assessments of newly referred patients, tests and diagnostic tasks. In addition to their own primary therapist pathways, there is, as a psychologist, the opportunity for individually delimited psychotherapeutic pathways with patients in the team.

As a psychologist at the Psychiatric Center Copenhagen you will become part of a large psychological professional community across departments and functions, with the opportunity to participate in/receive test supervision, mono-disciplinary supervision, supervise tasks, etc.

What are our expectations of you?

• Qualified psychologist
• Psychiatric experience and interest in working with severe mental disorders
• Preferably experience from outpatient psychiatry
• Preferably experience with psychological testing and diagnostic work
• Social engagement and professional enthusiasm for therapeutic conversation.
• Participate in the OPUS group activities (including psychoeducation and social skills training)
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy education or interest
• Willingness and ability to work both independently and flexibly and to participate in close interdisciplinary collaboration with other professions

What do we offer you?

• An open and developing professional and collegial community
• Thorough introduction to the work and the OPUS concept
• A varied workday with great opportunity for independent planning of your own workday
• Opportunity to undertake a wide range of both cross-disciplinary and mono-disciplinary tasks
• Regular supervision in the team
• Opportunity for training and supervision in psychological testing
• Monthly in-house psychologist meetings with the house’s senior psychologist and participation of the chief psychologist at PCK
• Opportunity for a 1-year training in CAT-psychosis for interdisciplinary contact persons
• A OPUS house focused on education, competence development, research involvement and a generally high professional standard
• Easy access to and sparring with OPUS management and colleagues in the house
• Specialists in all teams
• Opportunity for supervision tasks across PCK

Requalification in connection with integrated dual-diagnosis treatment

In Psychiatry in the Capital Region of Denmark, a new integrated treatment offer for patients with dual diagnoses (mental illness and concurrent substance use issues) is currently being implemented. This is also a task in OPUS, and provides a special opportunity to further develop and challenge yourself professionally. The tasks in the new treatment offer will be carried out in collaboration, and there will be an upskilling of all staff as you can look forward to.
