Nurses for Psychiatry Central Admissions – use your psychiatric experience in a new way

Are you an experienced psychiatric nurse who is not afraid to be professionally challenged and who is looking for a flexible day-to-day life? Then read on.

The position is 37 hours per week and is available for occupation as of 1 January 2027.

Who are we?

We handle all elective referrals for children, youths, adults, and the elderly that are sent to Psychiatry in the Central Denmark Region. The task is very diverse and includes, among other things, assessing and triaging incoming referrals, deciding on the further course of action, and conducting daily conferences with medical specialists.

We handle referrals for assessment and treatment for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Adult Psychiatry, the Rehabilitation Places, and Shared Referral for Dementia. We have also started a new referral unit with referrals to psychological treatment for youths aged 18-25.

Traditionally, we do not have direct patient contact and we function primarily as an administrative unit. However, we conduct triage conversations, which are virtual conversations. The focus is to qualify referrals with the information the patient can contribute.

We are committed to developing triage practices and we are often active contributors in the development of joint solutions in hospital psychiatry both at regional and national levels.

We are organizationally placed under Psychiatry, Central Hospital Unit Midt. Our staff group consists of triage nurses, medical secretaries, a chief physician, an assistant head nurse, and a professional coordinator.

We are looking for you who

• are engaged and have a desire to learn within the specialty, where you can contribute to the development of triage practices with your experience from outpatient hospital psychiatry
• can reflect on your own practice and have an eye for detail
• can work independently, but also in a team community
• take responsibility for task solving, both your own and the team’s
• can contribute to a dynamic and strong professional community as well as a good working environment
• have good communication skills, including written communication
• familiar with EHR at user level
• preferably have experience with psychiatric assessment

We do not have new graduates in our team, as it is a requirement that you have

• A high professional level, where you can work from and have experience with ICD-10
• Broad psychiatric knowledge and experience from an outpatient setting

What can we offer?

• An workplace with professional focus and room for professional discussions
• A good collegial community across professional groups.
• Continual mono- and cross-disciplinary collaboration with high professional standards.
• A thorough onboarding program tailored to your needs, mentoring, and weekly evaluations. Basic onboarding is expected to take about 3 months.
• A team that values openness, honesty and security highly and never shies away from a good laugh
• Good opportunities for professional development with professionally engaged colleagues
• Focus on work-life balance, including flexible working hours and high flexibility. We only work on weekdays during daytime hours. There are no evening, night, or weekend shifts, and we observe holidays.
• Opportunity for a weekly day of remote work

“It is a place with a high degree of freedom to organize one’s own work. There is a focus on good collaboration both internally and externally and a good working environment. It is a self-driving workplace with a strong focus on balancing work and private life.”
