Chief Physician or Specialist in Psychiatry for the F-ACT Team – Local Psychiatry Fredericia

Are you passionate about multidisciplinary collaboration, flexible treatment pathways and outreach psychiatry close to the patient’s everyday life? Lokalpsykiatri Fredericia is seeking an engaged chief physician or specialist in psychiatry for our F-ACT team. If so, we would be pleased to hear from you.

About the position

As chief physician/specialist in the F-ACT team, you will be a central professional driving force in the treatment of adults with severe mental illness, often with complex issues and a need for intensive, flexible intervention.

Your main tasks will be

• Responsible for assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients attached to the F-ACT team
• Participation in and leadership of multidisciplinary conferences, including evaluation of treatment plans
• Psychopharmacological treatment, follow-up and adjustment
• Co-responsibility for development and quality assurance of the F-ACT effort, including implementation of guidelines and workflows
• Supervision and sparring for doctors in training and the multidisciplinary team

The position is in principle full-time (37 hours per week) with daytime duties. Any attachment to a on-call rotation will be agreed more closely.

About the F-ACT team and Lokalpsykiatri Fredericia

We work with assessment and treatment of adults with relatively severe psychiatric disorders. The F-ACT team is a broadly based team that works with most psychiatric diagnostic groups. A portion of our patients also have concurrent substance use issues, which can be included in the treatment we offer.

The F-ACT Team currently consists of a head nurse, a chief physician, a social worker, four psychologists (including two clinical psychologists), 11 nurses, a peer worker, an incoming specialist and attached secretaries.

We strive for a strong collegial work environment where we support each other and place high value on good collaboration. Well-being is a focus, and we work systematically with it – partly to prevent emotional strain in the job. We offer sparring and regular supervision.

We focus on the core task, prioritize professional standards highly and offer further education, courses, supervision and internal teaching.

Your profile

We expect that you

• Are a specialist in psychiatry
• Have an interest in outreach psychiatry, F-ACT, OPUS, dual diagnosis or the like
• Thrive in multidisciplinary collaboration and can create a common direction in complex patient pathways
• Are professionally ambitious while pragmatic and flexible in daily work
• Have good communication skills and a desire to contribute to a positive working environment
• Are prepared to actively participate in the development of offers within Lokalpsykiatrien
