Health care professional sought for an exciting and development-oriented job at the Psychiatric Inpatient Ward S2.

Would you like a varied everyday life with professional quality in daily care – in collaboration with fantastic colleagues, then you are the one we are missing

We place high emphasis on professionalism and see collaboration between colleagues and with the patient as our most important tools. We are looking for a colleague who has experience from psychiatry, or who would like to gain insight into a new specialty.

Marianne has been a nurse on S2 since 2010 and tells about the work on S2

As care staff on S2 we support young adults with psychotic disorders in their work to achieve greater life competence, quality of life and stability. We can also be a supplementary hope for the young person who has had their future dreams crushed by mental health problems. We use environmental therapy, cognitive approaches and creative as well as practical activities in our work with the young. It can be highly satisfying to see a young person slowly regain belief in the future and zest for life.

As an employee there are good opportunities to go more in depth with the areas of nursing you are particularly interested in.”

We work to establish good collaboration with the patient’s relatives, as well as other relevant people around the patient.

We value interdisciplinary collaboration, where each professional group contributes with their specific knowledge to the overall patient journey.
