Job Responsibilities

You will work at our physiotherapy reception alternating with work at EPOS. EPOS is the orthopedic elective surgery unit in Sala where hip and knee surgeries are performed, and we provide the physiotherapy resource.

As a physiotherapist at our reception, you will meet patients primarily in the orthopedic area, but there is also the opportunity to work in other functional areas as our assignment is broad. The work includes physiotherapeutic tasks such as assessment, treatment, training, and advice individually or in groups, as well as prescribing aids.

At EPOS, the tasks include early mobilization of newly operated patients - hip and knee arthroplasty, information, review of training programs, referral management, and providing preoperative information.

Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed physiotherapist, preferably with a few years of experience in healthcare, but you can also be new to the profession. We would like you to have experience or interest in orthopedic rehabilitation, but also knowledge in the internal medicine area, e.g., COPD - cardiac rehabilitation. We also value if you have an interest or experience in business development and digitization.

As a person, you are calm and stable and can focus on the right things. You have a positive attitude towards your work and the ability to plan, organize, and prioritize in your work. You adapt easily to new circumstances and can quickly change your perspective. You work well with others, listen, and communicate sensitively with both colleagues and patients.
