Health and Social Care Coordinator at UPH – Sjöstaden Health Center

Prima Vård Sverige AB · Full-time

Drottninggatan 1, Mariestad, Sweden

Family is not a side track in treatment. It is part of it. We are looking for a licensed social worker and health and social care coordinator for UPH – Young People's Mental Health – at Sjöstaden Health Center in Mariestad. This is a permanent full-time position in an established team working with children and young people experiencing mental health challenges at the primary care level. ABOUT THE ROLE As a coordinator in UPH, your primary responsibility is psychosocial support and family work. You work with parents and families as an integrated part of the child's treatment – not as a parallel process, but as a prerequisite for interventions to be effective. In our base treatment model, assessment always precedes intervention. Your interventions are directly linked to what the assessment shows – ABC programs, parent support, and shared problem-solving are decided in team meetings based on identified needs, not as standard measures. You work directly with families without referral, receive children and young people aged 6–17, and work both individually and in groups. Work takes place at the clinic, digitally when needed, and sometimes in the patient's immediate environment – for example, at school. YOUR TASKS IN PRACTICE — Psychosocial support for children, young people, and their loved ones — Parent support and family work – ABC programs — Shared problem-solving for conflicts and emotional regulation in the family — Social skills training individually and in groups — Participation in team meetings and joint treatment planning — Psychoeducational group interventions for children, young people, and guardians — Collaboration with school health services, social services, and other stakeholders — Concern reports and contact with social services when needed HOW WE WORK The UPH team has been established since 2024 and consists of psychologists with CBT specialization, psychotherapist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and CBT therapist. Treatment is based on the LEON principle and structured assessment of sleep, nutrition, activity, relationships, and school. We work in parallel based on assessment – not sequentially. As a coordinator, you have a clear mandate in the family and parent component of treatment, not a support function on the periphery.
