QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone who wants meaningful and developmental work and who has a genuine commitment to mental health issues in young people. You are independent and driven, with the ability to be a safe and present leader, both on-site and remotely.

You take initiative, drive change, and adapt when circumstances shift. You work in a structured and methodical manner and find it easy to plan, organize, and follow through on processes, whether it concerns annual planning, improvement work, or daily management. You may be a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry, but related specialties such as other psychiatric branches or general medicine can also work.
Furthermore, you are communicative and have good collaboration skills, and you create conditions for dialogue and participation both in operational work and in our joint forums.
