Occupational Therapist 50% for the Early Intervention Day Clinic (FIT)

Are you motivated to contribute your experience and benefit from the university environment?

The University Psychiatric Clinics (UPK) Basel are one of the leading university psychiatric clinics in Switzerland. Our goal is the continuous improvement of the treatment of our patients to achieve their best possible quality of life.

The innovative transdiagnostic concept of the Early Intervention Day Clinic FIT is aimed at young people aged 15 to 25 years who suffer, for example, from affective or early psychotic disorders, difficulties in emotion regulation, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or diagnostically unclear problems. The aim of the treatment is to provide young people in this critical developmental phase with comprehensive support in individual and group therapies in a milieu therapeutic setting. An important focus is on supporting social participation and everyday accompaniment of the young people. The department is jointly managed by the clinics for adults and for children and adolescents of the UPK.
