Assistant Psychologist II or Specialist Psychologist

Consultation for Refugee Minors, Ambulatory Clinic Bern

Would you like to make a decisive contribution to psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care in the Canton of Bern? Our team at the Ambulatory Clinic Bern is passionately committed to young people and their families who are going through difficult phases of life. We address a wide range of issues that burden children and adolescents as well as their families. In addition to basic care including triage, diagnostics, and treatment, we work closely with facilities for unaccompanied minor refugees. In this consultation, we care for young people who have just arrived in Switzerland or already have a residence perspective. Many of them exhibit pronounced psychiatric symptoms. We treat these young people in acute crisis and afterwards. The focus is on a trauma-therapeutic approach, which we consistently pursue and implement. In close exchange with the teams on site at the centres, we thus make an important contribution to the care of this vulnerable group. Are you interested in working with a patient group that faces many adversities, burdens, and discrimination and want to ensure they still have access to psychiatric care? Then please apply to us.
