Are you an experienced nurse who stands firm in your shoes and enjoys working within acute psychiatry? Do you want to provide nursing care to clients in the midst of an acute psychiatric crisis and make a difference at that exact moment? In our ICU department, you will work in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same and where professional care, safety, and your development are central.

You are clinically sharp, can switch gears quickly, and remain calm when situations become complex or unpredictable. You combine nursing expertise with personal attention and know how to professionally offer proximity, structure, and safety. Together with your colleagues, you ensure a safe environment in which clients can stabilize and work towards recovery.

What will you do?
As a nurse in the ICU department, you are part of a close-knit and committed care team. You are never alone: you work together intensively, support one another, and collectively bear responsibility for the care and safety on the ward.

In the ICU department, you guide and care for clients with severe psychiatric problems, who are often in an acute crisis. Admissions are short but intensive. You provide appropriate nursing care and guidance, observe changes, and align your actions accordingly. Together with your colleagues, you do everything in your power to stabilize clients so they can transition to an appropriate follow-up location for further treatment.

Safety, structure, recovery, and good psychiatric care are central to this.

In your work:

• You guide clients during acute psychiatric crisis situations and provide appropriate nursing care;
• You provide structure, clarity, and predictability;
• You conduct supportive and motivating conversations that contribute to recovery;
• You observe behavior and symptoms and, if necessary, respond to changes in the clients' condition;
• You work closely with involved disciplines, such as psychiatrists, doctors, psychologists, and outpatient teams;
• You think along about treatment, policy, and further care surrounding the client;
• You support clients in daily following of the treatment and activity offerings on the ward and possibly beyond;
• You work in a de-escalating manner and continuously discuss with your colleagues which care and guidance is appropriate at that moment;
• You are consciously engaged in stimulating autonomy and recovery in clients;
• You report your observations and particulars every shift, so that the continuity of care remains guaranteed;
• You guide clients during care-coordination conversations.
