Would you like to work in a specialist psychiatric operation where the patient is at the center and where collaboration, knowledge, and development are an integral part of everyday work? Then Unit 366 might be the right place for you.
About Us
Unit 366 is a specialist psychiatric inpatient care unit with the mission to care for patients experiencing bipolar disorder episodes. We also care for individuals with other affective conditions, such as depression and anxiety disorders. The unit has 15 beds.
At Unit 366, care is planned and organized based on a clear team structure where the patient's individual needs are in focus. In addition to acute treatment and relapse prevention medical interventions, care and nursing services are adapted to the patient's needs and their position in the recovery process. We have close collaboration with the bipolar outpatient clinic, which is the country's largest specialist clinic for bipolar disorder. This creates excellent opportunities for cooperation, knowledge exchange, and an integrated care pathway for our patients.
What Do We Offer?
With us, you will have the opportunity to develop both in your profession and together with the organization. Within the bipolar care pathway, there is strong commitment to teaching and research; as an employee, you have the opportunity to participate through lectures, seminars, and workshops.
We place great emphasis on ensuring you have a secure start with us. The introduction is therefore tailored to your needs, and as a new nurse, you will receive support from experienced colleagues both during the introduction and afterward. We know that good care is created together. Therefore, we actively work to create a supportive, secure, and learning work environment where we help each other, share knowledge, and develop together. Working hours are scheduled according to a five-week rotation, where as a nurse you work two out of five weekends.
About You
You are a licensed nurse who wants to make a difference for people in difficult life situations. If you have experience in psychiatry or other people-centered professions, that is a merit. Specialist training in psychiatric care is an advantage, but not a requirement.
For you to thrive with us, we believe you are a secure, calm, and patient person with a genuine interest in people. You have a knack for building good relationships and see the value of collaboration with patients, family members, colleagues, and other care professionals. You appreciate teamwork and work in a patient-centered manner. We will place great emphasis on personal suitability.
Job Responsibilities
As a patient-responsible nurse, you are an important part of the team around the patient. You work together with care assistants, physicians, nurse colleagues, and a social worker to identify and meet the patient's healthcare, nursing, and support needs.
In daily work, together with the patient's contacts, you have a close and central role in the patient's care. You lead and distribute nursing work, assess care needs, plan, implement, and follow up on nursing interventions, and are responsible for nursing documentation. You contribute to creating safe and good care throughout the care process, from acute phase to recovery and discharge.
We warmly welcome your application! Selection and interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis.
