Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want to contribute with engagement, heart, and brain in an organization that makes a real difference in the everyday lives of children and young people?

The habilitation clinic for children and youth serves children and young people up to 17 years old with permanent disabilities and their families. The children and young people may have mobility impairments, intellectual disabilities, and/or autism. The operation is based on interdisciplinary family-centered teamwork where medical, psychological, educational, and social competencies collaborate. Our approach is family-centered, meaning that the family has full participation in the planning and evaluation of interventions.

- I enjoy working in habilitation because it is varied and diverse. I get to use my entire occupational therapy competence in the best way. Meeting patients and preparing them for adult life is meaningful and often a creative job. Moreover, I really enjoy working with my wonderful colleagues, says Eva, who works as an occupational therapist.

Are you curious about becoming a part of us? We offer you a meaningful and varied job where you have the opportunity to work with children and young people in important developmental stages, in an environment with strong team commitment and where a warm welcome permeates the entire operation! We work in newly renovated and functional premises, together with the adult habilitation clinic, which means close collaboration especially during the transition from childhood to adulthood. We have the advantage of having assistive devices in the same building and shortly also the Hearing and Deaf Services where we have good cooperation.
