Within the clinic, we work in multidisciplinary teams and collaborate closely with patients' families and other networks. In our assessment team, we meet children and young people with suspected neuropsychiatric conditions, as well as other difficulties such as psychotic symptoms, personality issues, or concurrent somatic conditions. The team continuously engages in development work to ensure that each child receives the right intervention and ongoing support as part of the implementation of standardized care processes. During spring and fall, we strengthened our assessment team with five positions for a targeted mission to address children and young people who have waited the longest for an initial appointment. The assignment includes meeting children who need further evaluation and assessment as part of standardized care processes. Due to a parental leave, we are now seeking a temporary replacement. Start date is as soon as possible, and the employment extends through May 31, 2027 at the latest. Possible extension is available.
