We are now looking for a physiotherapist for Avesta, Borlänge, or Falun.

Many patients you will follow for a long time, allowing you to get to know them and plan and follow up on interventions together with them in the long term.

Quote from one of our employees:

"I think we have exciting and complex cases and assignments. There is room for creativity in my assignments, more with adults than children. I feel that I personally have greater responsibility for my interventions and care planning, which I appreciate. I am trusted by both my professional group and managers to do my job properly."
