Clinical psychologist for a specialized treatment program for people with dual diagnosis

Are you a clinical psychologist and would you like to help continue developing a specialized treatment offer for people with a dual diagnosis? Then we are looking for you for a full-time position as of December 1, 2026.

About us

Regional Psychiatry Midt established in 2024 a new integrated treatment offer for people over 18 years with moderate to severe mental illness and concurrent substance use disorder.

We are still implementing and developing the treatment offer and have already brought together a dedicated, multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, a clinical psychologist, social worker, physiotherapist, secretary, and a senior physician in psychiatry.

The team covers the municipalities of Viborg, Skive and Silkeborg under the Psychiatric Department at the Hospitalsenhed Midt and offers an integrated treatment offer tailored to the individual patient.

Assessment and treatment of mental disorders are conducted in parallel with treatment of substance use issues. We also have a focus on somatic complications and actively work with harm reduction.

What makes our team unique is that the patient group often requires thinking about psychiatry, substance use issues, trauma, somatics, motivation and social functioning together. This is reflected in our way of working, which is thus multidisciplinary and holistic with a focus on both health and social care interventions.

The treatment includes, among other things

• Pharmacological treatment (withdrawal, craving suppression and substitution treatment)
• Psychotherapeutic approaches (MI, CAT and DAT)
• Physiotherapy offers
• In the long term social skills training

We meet the patients where they are, and the work can therefore take place at several sites.

We strive to have close collaboration with the department's other clinics and inpatient wards and be available for sparring and guidance regarding dual diagnosis issues.

Your role in the team

As a clinical psychologist with us, you will have a central role in the professional development of the psychological treatment in an integrated dual-diagnosis offer.

This includes, among other things, the following tasks

• psychiatric assessment and differential diagnostics
• psychological assessment of complex patients
• treatment planning
• psychotherapeutic treatment
• sparring with the team
• development of psychology professional interventions for the target group
• possibly teaching/supervision internally

We offer

• A working environment characterized by high professionalism, mutual trust and openness, helpfulness and a good dose of humor.
• We prioritize daily sparring, shared lunches and ongoing training.
• You will become a central part of the ongoing development of the psychological content in the treatment offer
• Opportunity to shape the development of a new treatment offer and work with a target group where your efforts make a clear difference.
• We prioritize thorough introduction, a mentorship program and ongoing competence development through both e-learning and courses, tailored to your experience and needs.
• There are regular psychological professional group meetings across the department, and there is an opportunity for group test supervision.
• Occasionally some colleagues meet for informal social gatherings for psychologists and doctors together.

We imagine that you

• Are a clinical psychologist
• Have interest in or experience with dual diagnoses and can work with complex psychiatric issues
• Have experience working with substance use issues
• Can work with trauma-informed treatment
• Are educated in MI/KAT/DAT
• Can work independently and take responsibility for patient pathways
• Thrive in multidisciplinary collaboration

A driver's license and own car are required.

In Regional Psychiatry Midt in the Central Denmark Region, we prioritize that our employees feel secure in their onboarding and continuously develop their competencies. Therefore, we have tailored our own educational universe – the Psychiatry Academy.
