About Us

At Borås Assessment Team, we conduct investigations on behalf of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, known as Activity Ability Assessments (AFU).

We also assess functional and activity ability on referral from both primary care and specialist care in the Västra Götaland region. The purpose is to support the treating physician. The patients who come to us are either sick-listed or at risk of becoming so. Many have complex issues that require multiple perspectives. Each profession in our team – occupational therapists, physiotherapists, doctors, and psychologists – contributes their expertise. Great emphasis is placed on teamwork where everyone's competence is important.

About the Job

As a doctor with us, you will work with assessments in a cross-professional team. The working method itself fosters good cohesion in the workplace, and there is a strong team spirit. You will also be part of the medical group consisting of several colleagues with expertise and experience from various fields. There will be ample opportunities to learn from each other. The doctor's assignment is clearly defined, and the role of the doctor here is well-defined. If you are used to treatment work, you will find that you are less likely to take work home.

Every day you meet new patients, and you leave with a completed assignment. This also makes the work varied. We create investigations and referral responses together in dialogue.

Documentation is done in the AsynjaVisph journal system. Your working hours are daytime, Monday to Friday, with flexible hours.

About You

You should be a licensed physician with a specialization in general medicine or psychiatry. We prefer that you have experience or a strong interest in multimodal working methods. You need to have completed the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's advanced training in insurance medicine to be eligible to issue AFU statements. If you have not completed this, we offer you the opportunity to participate in the training, which is provided continuously and funded by the employer.

We value flexibility, good collaboration skills, and seeing the individual as a multifaceted whole. You enjoy working in a team, as a large part of the assignment involves making joint assessments with other professionals. You should have a strong interest in patients with complex issues related to pain, discomfort, and mental health. You are expected to actively participate in the development work of the organization. We place great importance on personal suitability.
