Our vision and goals aim toward care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide health and medical care locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients throughout the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and they contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify daily operations at the hospital and provide modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality. Description Neuropsychiatry Clinic East is one of two neuropsychiatric clinics within the Neuropsychiatry operational area. At the neuropsychiatric clinics, we evaluate and treat ADHD and psychiatric comorbidity, particularly anxiety and depression disorders, and we also have responsibility for autism assessments. At Neuropsychiatry Clinic East, we currently have approximately 4,200 active patients. The clinic has a total of twelve psychologist positions distributed across four teams. As a psychologist with us, you work with assessments of neuropsychiatric functional impairments, as well as with group and individual treatments directed toward both neuropsychiatric issues and more severe affective comorbidity. The psychology team has much collaborative work and a couple of ongoing research projects. In total, we are just over 60 employees. Our workplace is characterized by high professionalism and an open climate. We always strive for quality improvements and maintain connections to the university and research. We are located in airy and modern facilities at Krokslätts Fabriker in Mölndal. We offer you stimulating, varied, and developmental work with good opportunities for learning. This position is a temporary contract at 100 percent for one year, with start date November 23, 2026, and employment through November 23, 2027, or by agreement. Responsibilities Work as a psychologist in one of our NP teams requires the ability to meet individual patients with sensitivity and an interest in considering differential diagnostic questions. In assessment work, we primarily work with joint assessments – that is, conducting evaluations together with a physician or another psychologist. This requires strong collaboration skills. Group treatments are also conducted together with either another psychologist, an occupational therapist, or a nurse. Therefore, it is beneficial if you enjoy working with groups (PEGASUS, DBT-inspired skills training, UP groups). It is advantageous if you have previous experience with psychological work with our patient population, as well as experience with CBT treatment and neuropsychiatric assessments. Within the psychology team at the clinic, we have developed two main areas of focus: one focused on individual treatment interventions and one focused on neuropsychiatric assessments. Experience in both areas is an advantage. About You We are looking for someone who is a licensed psychologist. You are thorough, organized, have good administrative abilities, and are used to juggling many tasks. You can work independently, but also have strong collaboration skills. You place the patient at the center and are attentive. You have previous experience working with our patient population. We would appreciate it if you are solution-focused and interested in developing and improving care. Great consideration is given to personal suitability. We warmly welcome your application.
