Are you interested in and curious about forensic psychiatric care? Do you want to work with an important and challenging societal mission in a highly specialized operation? Do you want to work at a workplace characterized by openness and good atmosphere? If so, come and work with us!
Job Responsibilities
We work in teams where nurses and care attendants work in patient-focused care in care teams. Together with doctors and treatment personnel (psychologist, occupational therapist, social worker, family therapist, addiction therapist, physiotherapist, and nurse in outpatient care), you form a team with the patient at the center, a so-called patient team. Professional treatment and a humanistic value base form the foundation of the care process that is based on each patient's individual circumstances.
On the ward, you work with direct patient care and with the tasks that are common on a care ward. You participate in ongoing care work as well as in the ward's routines. You observe and document activities performed with the patient and make bookings in digital systems. We always work with a focus on good safety and work environment.
