Work Tasks The patients in our care have been transferred to treatment instead of prison and are cared for according to the Act on Forensic Psychiatric Care (LRV). Care periods are relatively long because patients have complex issues, and the work is systematic, varied, and stimulating. At unit 9, patients are well advanced in the care process. This means they are in a discharge phase and much of the rehabilitation takes place outside the unit, and cooperation with other actors in the care chain is a significant part of our operation. Care is patient-centered with the patient in focus, and as a caregiver you are the member of the team who primarily works with psychiatric nursing care in the patient's care and treatment. You work together with nurses, doctors, psychologists, occupational therapists, and social workers. You also need to be able to work independently and be flexible, as well as have the ability to notice and articulate the specific needs within your area for each individual patient. The work tasks are varied, and as a caregiver you work both individually and in group activities with patients. You are also expected to contribute to the development of the operation and take responsibility for improving the aspects of care you are responsible for. Qualifications We welcome you if you are trained as a caregiver/nursing assistant, preferably with a psychiatric focus according to the previous program structure, or have completed training as a nursing assistant within the current program structure. You may also have completed caregiver training as a vocational education (YH).
