Senior Consultant Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist 80-100% - inpatient crisis intervention in a modern setting

Competently manage mental health crises and enjoy your evenings in Basel: As a senior consultant, you bear medical responsibility on a modern acute crisis intervention ward and work within a multiprofessional team.

Some patients arrive in the middle of the night, others after weeks when nothing else worked. Here they come to people like you, who are experienced in acute crises: in a dedicated crisis intervention unit, with its own chief consultant and in a facility built specifically for this purpose.

Those who arrive very ill are closely supported on the acute ward with integrated intensive care. As they improve, no one needs to change clinics. Treatment continues in the day clinic, outpatient setting, or at the patients’ homes, all within the same department. You therefore not only experience the most difficult moment but also keep sight of the path afterwards.

And after work? The job is in the Basel region. Those who prefer city living can reach Basel by train within 10 minutes. In summer, you can drift along the Rhine after work, and with the tram you are in Weil am Rhein in about ten minutes, already in Germany.
