Your Workplace
Laromottagningen is one of the outpatient psychiatric care clinics. Here, dedicated nurses, doctors, social workers, care and support coordinators, healthcare administrators, and unit managers work together as a team to provide excellent care and a good work environment.
The medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence (LARO) has the mission to assess and treat people in Värmland County who have more than one year of documented opioid dependence and also provides consultative services. The clinics are located in appropriate facilities in the Psychiatric Building at Central Hospital in Karlstad.
Laromottagningen is a well-functioning unit with competent staff who are passionate about the mission.
We are in an interesting position within Region Värmland regarding addiction care, particularly based on the proposal suggested by the comorbidity investigation. National efforts are in an expansion phase and LARO treatment is included in the comorbidity investigation's interim report as a prioritized treatment approach.
Your Responsibilities
As a psychiatric nurse at Laromottagningen, you are responsible for your patients and plan your own day based on patient and operational needs. We work in a team and help each other when needed. Work tasks include medication distribution, medication monitoring, blood sampling, and therapeutic conversations with patients.
The role also includes contact with healthcare partners and social services. Collaboration with other actors is a central part of working with our patients and includes cooperation with open psychiatric clinics in the county, infectious disease clinics, and addiction centers.
You will be involved in the entire care process for patients, starting with blood sampling and initiation of substitution medication. Patients should initially come daily to receive their medication. Subsequently, an individual assessment is made regarding how often patients should visit the clinic.
Our work follows the National Board of Health and Welfare's guidelines and is based on the nationally developed care and intervention program for harmful use and dependence.
Your Knowledge and Competencies
You must be trained as a psychiatric nurse or have nurse training. Experience in psychiatry and/or addiction issues is a merit. We would appreciate if you can work with Cosmic and Pascal systems.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability and seek someone who enjoys collaborating with others and has a talent for building good relationships through your empathetic abilities. You are skilled at organizing your work efficiently, are self-driven, and adapt easily to different situations. Your flexibility and ability to switch between tasks make you a valuable employee.
