Make a difference. Every day. Are you curious about psychiatric care and positive toward development and change initiatives? Do you thrive in a varied and developmental role where you'll collaborate in an interdisciplinary team? Then don't hesitate to apply to us! The Forensic Psychiatry operational area belongs to the Psychiatry, Habilitation and Assistive Devices department. Within the operational area there are nine forensic psychiatric inpatient units located in Trelleborg, Helsingborg, Hässleholm and Kristianstad. Our outpatient services are located in Malmö, Helsingborg and Hässleholm. We currently have approximately 400 employees. Forensic Psychiatry cares for individuals who have been placed under forensic psychiatric care by court order. Many have serious psychotic illness, multiple disabilities with functional impairments, brain injury, serious personality disorders or substance abuse issues. Secondary complications such as lack of formal education, criminality, social isolation and exclusion are common. The goal of forensic psychiatric care is to habilitate individuals suffering from serious mental health issues toward a daily life in society with reduced risk of relapse into crime. In Hässleholm we have an outpatient unit and three inpatient units; units 10, 11 and 12. Additionally, we have unit 9 with nine care places in Kristianstad. The inpatient units in Hässleholm together have 37 care places. They are primarily intended for patients who are placed under forensic psychiatric care. Patients may in some cases be with us for extended periods, which gives us unique opportunities to follow them throughout the treatment and habilitation process. We work to ensure that all patients in 24-hour care are our shared responsibility and it is self-evident that we help each other across units as needed. 1 position(s).
