About the workplace – this is us!

In Sweden, a transition towards Close Care is underway.

Close Care is a health and medical care system with primary care as its foundation, where the region and municipalities interact and clearly focus on individual needs. This means that care and support within Fagersta Municipality is now developing its mission within the health and medical care group. The municipality's rehabilitation team works in various areas such as special housing, short-term units, safe discharge, home healthcare, LSS, psychiatry, and home visits in regular housing.

Your mission

Do you want to be part of Fagersta Municipality's journey towards Close Care?

The work involves creating a meaningful everyday life for our residents based on individual needs by working preventively and long-term. The mission means that you work in teams with various professional roles and in close collaboration with healthcare staff and colleagues in the health and medical care group.

You will closely collaborate with your colleagues in the rehabilitation team, which consists of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation assistants. The work also requires flexibility and collaboration with colleagues in the workgroup, covering for each other as needed.

The mission also involves being part of the planning for safe discharge, collaborating with the municipality's coordinator, the region's care coordinators, and discharge coordinators.

The work as a physiotherapist within the municipality is varied, challenging, and very free as you allocate your work based on the needs that arise. Tasks included in the mission are, among others:

• Assessing needs and weighing appropriate treatments/compensatory measures based on a function-preserving approach.
• Testing, prescribing, and following up on assistive devices.
• Educating healthcare staff in transfer knowledge and other profession-specific areas.

You continuously guide, educate, and delegate tasks to rehabilitation representatives and healthcare staff to provide good care to our residents. The work is scheduled during daytime hours. Upon starting your employment, we have developed an introduction program that you will participate in.
