Psychologist/Social Worker for En väg in and Första Linjen

REGION GOTLAND · Vollzeit

Neptungatan 6, Visby, Schweden

Psychiatry on Gotland is divided into adult and child and adolescent psychiatry (BUP). There is also a primary care unit, Första Linjen, which is organized together with BUP. Första Linjen serves children and young people ages 6-17 and their parents. Första Linjen is not located in the same facility as BUP, which makes the reception independent as a counseling clinic. Första Linjen and BUP work closely together, including regarding the distribution of cases and patients with moderate psychiatric conditions. Management is shared and we have a common intake function EVI, En väg in, which triages patients to the appropriate care unit. We are very committed to ensuring that the care we provide to children and young people is equitable, accessible, safe, and effective. To ensure evidence-based health and medical care, we continuously work to develop our operations by ensuring alignment with national guidelines and the best available knowledge base. We are now seeking a therapist for our experienced and friendly team. Your Tasks The position consists partly of working with assessment at En väg in, which is our intake function, and working with treatment and assessment at Första Linjen. Based on your profile, we will adapt how much of each assignment you take on. At Första Linjen we work based on a fundamental family perspective where each team member independently works with assessment and treatment of the children and young people, as well as their parents, who come to us. This is done with good support from experienced colleagues. All team members are also expected to lead, together with a colleague or independently, one of the group treatments in our offering. These primarily have psychoeducational components, with some containing cognitive and behavior-oriented strategies. In some treatments we also offer digital alternatives. Some group treatments are conducted jointly by Första Linjen and BUP. Collaboration with schools and student health services is an important part of the work. At En väg in much of the work is done through telephone reception where we conduct standardized assessments using interviews and rating forms. You will have the opportunity to work with experienced colleagues with high expertise in triage. You will be part of a team with psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and coordinators. Within En väg in you will be part of a team with nurses and social workers from BUP. We offer external group supervision. We have treatment conferences where you have the opportunity to receive support and consultation from colleagues regarding patient cases. Who Are You? We are looking for someone who is a licensed psychologist or social worker. You have basic CBT training, what was previously called level 1. You have good collaboration skills, an empathetic approach, and good ability to plan and structure your work. Previous work in psychiatry is a merit. Experience working with children and families, both individually and in groups is a merit, as is previous experience working at the primary care level and providing psychoeducation and leading group treatments. We place great importance on your personal suitability, particularly that you are a responsible and mature person with good ability to collaborate internally and externally. An extract from the suspicion and penalty register will be obtained before any potential employment. Why Choose Region Gotland?
