The position provides the opportunity to work with a broad spectrum of psychiatric diagnoses, including affective disorders, psychoses, anxiety disorders, dementia assessment, and cognitive impairments.

• Specialized nurses in elderly psychiatry
• The Memory Clinic and other relevant collaborators

This organization provides a rare opportunity to work at the crossroads of neurology, somatics, and psychiatry, where cognitive symptoms are assessed in close connection with both psychiatric and medical issues. As a neuropsychologist/specialist psychologist you will therefore play a central role in interdisciplinary diagnostics and treatment planning.

Your tasks

• Psychological and diagnostic assessment of patients in elderly psychiatry
• Contribute to clarification of complex psychiatric problems
• Neuropsychological examination and testing when relevant
• Participation in multidisciplinary conferences and treatment planning
• Collaboration with patients, relatives and external partners

• Has experience with or an interest in psychological and diagnostic assessment
• Thrives in multidisciplinary collaboration
• Has good collaboration and communication skills
• Wishes to contribute to the development of a specialized field

You will become part of a highly specialized elderly psychiatry team with close daily sparring between the disciplines. Neuropsychological examinations, psychiatric assessment, somatic assessment and nursing observations are continuously integrated into a holistic assessment of the patient. This provides a strong professional foundation for the assessment of, among other things, dementia, affective disorders, psychoses and other conditions with cognitive symptoms.

The position is therefore particularly attractive for those who wish to work with complex diagnostic problems in an environment where the different professions actively complement each other, and where decisions are made jointly around the patient.
