Your role

As a specialist doctor in psychiatry, you will be responsible for the assessment, investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients, working closely with other professionals in the team. Collaboration with other healthcare providers and external stakeholders, such as public authorities and social services, is also an important part of the role. Our patients primarily include individuals with severe mental illness, but we also see a wide range of cases to assess, confirm, or exclude the need for specialist psychiatric care.

Your qualifications

You are a specialist in psychiatry. Experience in psychiatric outpatient care, addiction services, or insurance medicine is an advantage. A category B driving licence is required, as some travel may be part of the role. Good communication skills in English are needed, and Swedish language training will be supported if required.

You are confident and self-aware in your professional role, with a collaborative mindset and clear communication style. You contribute positively to the work environment and are motivated by continuous learning and improvement. You have a solid foundation in psychiatric expertise and stay up to date in your field. You are able to see the bigger picture – both in the patient’s overall situation and in the development of the service – and make decisions that balance individual and organisational needs.

What we offer

We provide a welcoming and supportive work environment with opportunities for professional development and further education. Flexible working arrangements and a focus on work–life balance are central to our culture. You will also have the chance to contribute to the development of digital and innovative care solutions. Assistance with relocation and Swedish language training is available if applicable.
