Tierp Health Center

Our 1800 employees work with close care and health in Uppsala County. We have a wide range of services within primary care. Our patients meet us at Region Uppsala's own health centers or within habilitation, and we provide advice over the phone via 1177. Education, research, and development are important to us, as we adapt our offerings based on the needs of the residents. We already offer mobile teams, video visits, and smart e-services.

Are you our new colleague?

Tierp Health Center is one of the largest health centers in the country with a large and broad operation. We are currently offering a full-time temporary position for 6 months with start date by agreement, with the possibility of extension. With us, you will have a varied, stimulating, and developing job.

Your assignment

Your tasks will consist of assessment, treatment, follow-up, and training of both youth and adults with symptoms, diseases, and injuries in the musculoskeletal system, central and peripheral nervous system, as well as psychosomatics.

As a physiotherapist, you will have independent responsibility for assessment and treatment at both individual and group levels, where the choice of measures should be based on available evidence and existing guidelines.

As a person, you are clear in your communication and structured in your work approach. You enjoy thinking innovatively that can also be implemented in practice. You have good pedagogical skills and can easily establish contact with both patients and colleagues. Personal suitability is of great importance.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that gender balance and diversity bring to the operation. We therefore welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff based on the needs of total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be made regarding all individuals that the employer intends to employ or contract for patient-related work based on the possibility that they may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas covered by optional record extracts. This applies to all who will work closely with patients even if the tasks are not currently intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely by Region Uppsala. We therefore ask for no phone calls from recruitment companies and advertisement sellers.
