Description

The Municipal Rehab is organized within the Social Administration of Rättvik municipality.

Within the unit, there is also a service that supports recently discharged patients from the hospital according to the SUS law. Here, there is also housing coordination, a dietitian, and a short-term department. The main mission of the unit is to contribute to the municipality's goal of making residents as independent and active as possible by motivating and supporting patients to maintain and develop their active abilities. The target group includes young adults, adults, and the elderly in regular housing, special housing for the elderly (SÄBO), and group housing under LSS.

The work is characterized by commitment, innovation, development, and customer focus.

Currently, the rehab team consists of 4 occupational therapists and 5 physiotherapists. Since one of our licensed physiotherapists has chosen to further their education to meet the increasing age curve, we are now looking for a replacement to start as agreed.

Rättvik municipality as an employer invests in secure employment with a good working environment and benefits such as vacation exchange, travel cards, benefit bicycles, and more.
