Job Description As a nurse with us, you have a central role in acute care. You work with patient assessment, medication management, participation in rounds, supportive conversations, and other nursing-specific tasks. The work is varied and the pace changes – from rapid interventions to close follow-up. Your time is divided between acute assessment situations, patient-centered care, and team collaboration. You work closely with doctors and carers in a multidisciplinary team, but also in close contact with ambulance, police, social services, and other social actors. Together, we create security and structure for patients in very vulnerable situations – both on site and in the field via the mobile team. We Offer You • Assignment at emergency reception, PIVA, or a combination of both. • A strong team with high competence and supportive colleagues. • Individualized introduction and continuous mentoring. • Opportunity for further education and development within psychiatric care. • Meaningful work where you really make a difference. About You You are a licensed nurse – and the most important thing is that you have a genuine interest in psychiatric care. If you have specialist training in psychiatry or previous experience from psychiatric services, that is a merit, but absolutely no requirement. Regardless of background, we offer you a solid introduction program, tailored to your previous experience. You will get a safe start with mentoring, comprehensive knowledge transfer, and the opportunity to gradually grow into the role. Since you work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. For you to feel at home and fit in with us, your personal qualities are important. To thrive in this role, we believe you are a stable and secure person who can stand firm even when things are stormy around you. You are relationship-building and build trust through professional conduct, with both patients, colleagues, and collaboration partners. You communicate in a clear and empathetic way, even in stressful or emotionally charged situations. Your linguistic and analytical ability allows you to quickly absorb information, express yourself clearly in both conversation and documentation, and make well-founded decisions based on the patient's needs. Application and Employment We work with continuous selection, so please submit your application as soon as possible. Interviews will also take place on an ongoing basis. Welcome to become part of a team that works with heart, precision, and commitment – when it is needed most.
