Welcome to an exciting and developing job with us.

Your workplace

Hjälpmedelsservice is a specialist unit that works with aids for people with disabilities, primarily in the areas of mobility, cognition, and communication. The unit is part of the outpatient care area. At Hjälpmedelsservice, we are about 30 employees who enjoy working together and love our jobs. We work with everything from purchasing, inventory management to training, service, advice, and support around aids as well as prescriptions for electric wheelchairs.

Your tasks

Now there is an opportunity to be involved in the prescription of electric wheelchairs. We have an opening in our team for electric wheelchairs and need to strengthen our operations with a new prescriber. Therefore, we are looking for an assistive technology consultant focused on prescribing electric wheelchairs for adult users in Värmland. You will work alongside four other assistive technology consultants in the same area.

The prescription process includes assessing needs, testing, adapting, informing, instructing, training, following up, and evaluating the function and benefit of aids. In adaptations, you will work closely with assistive technology technicians.

In collaboration with other assistive technology consultants, you will be responsible for development work, prescription criteria, routines, and assortment work. Within the unit, we also work with seating assessments and custom-molded seats as well as procurement work, which may also be included in your position.

Your knowledge and competencies

We are looking for someone who is a licensed occupational therapist or physiotherapist. We expect you to have several years of professional experience and an interest in the assistive technology field. Knowledge in the area of seating problems is an advantage. You should have a technical interest as there is a lot of technical development in the assistive technology field. It is important to have a good ability to convey information about aids to both users and staff groups. Personal suitability is highly valued.

As a person, you are service-oriented, meticulous, and have a good ability to independently plan and perform tasks under your own responsibility. You enjoy working independently as well as together with others. You are communicative and have good initiative and collaboration skills. You have good computer skills.

A valid driver's license is required, as travel may occur in the position.
