For EPA clients with personality issues, Mentrum has established the AMBIT team. This concerns clients who have often already traveled a long road within mental healthcare and have experienced a great deal. Trust in healthcare providers is therefore not a given. Especially within this target group, a strong therapeutic relationship and a methodical, collaborative approach are of great importance.

Do you enjoy working together with clients, their network, and your treatment team as a clinical psychologist toward recovery and more autonomy? And do you get energy from complex personality issues and working with a target group that sometimes asks a lot of you? Then we would love to meet you!

What are you going to do?
Together with the treatment team, you will act as the lead clinician treating clients with complex psychiatric and psychosocial problems, where personality issues are at the forefront. You will work within the AMBIT framework, in which methodical collaboration with the client, the team, the system, and the network is central.

The AMBIT framework utilizes MBT theory and methodology and combines this with other appropriate treatment interventions. Both individual and group treatment are offered, and much attention is paid to the therapeutic relationship.

All team members—including the psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, nurses and social workers, IPS coach, and trainees (AIOS and GIOS)—contribute to the treatment and the treatment policy. We have a long-term perspective for the treatment trajectories. There is a strong commitment to collaboration, crisis management, and building trust. Together with the client, you work on gaining more control over problems and complaints and on increasing autonomy and self-reliance. With this, we align with the FACT principles of recovery-oriented work.

As a clinical psychologist, you will also provide work guidance and supervision and make an active contribution to innovation and the application of scientific insights.

Within the AMBIT team, we have a long-term perspective. We invest in collaboration, building trust, and searching for what actually works. In doing so, we find it important that you, as a professional, also take space to reflect, ask for feedback, and learn together.
