About the Work
Your main responsibilities involve assessing and treating mental health and behavior-related issues based on primary care priorities. The focus is on preventive and early interventions, based on common reasons for seeking care at a health center. You will work with the registered population's needs in mind, using digital care meetings, internet-based and group treatment, as well as in-person individual visits.
We work using primary care-oriented methods, including high accessibility, stepwise/stratified care, and collaboration with other professionals and care partners. It is important that you have an interest in working with a primary care focus, which means prioritizing high accessibility for all residents with mental health and behavior-related issues. Interventions range from psychoeducation and self-care advice, to guided treatment using literature or internet-based treatment, to group treatment or individual treatment interventions. To meet the needs of the entire patient population, you must be able to vary methods and scope of treatment interventions.
Together with your colleagues and manager, you will be responsible for the health center's continuous improvement efforts. Supervision of psychology candidates or trainee psychologists may be relevant.
About You

We are looking for someone who is attentive and accommodating, with good communication skills and the ability to identify individuals' unique needs.

About the Recruitment Process
Selection takes place in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who invite relevant candidates to a telephone interview. After that, the recruiting manager makes a second selection of applicants and invites them to an interview at the health center.
We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe concrete situations as much as possible and try to avoid generalizing answers – this allows us to understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the result was.
