Make a difference. Every day.

The habilitation is here to make life more possible for people with permanent disabilities and their relatives. The disability can be due to mobility impairment, intellectual disability, and/or autism. The habilitation unit 1 is divided into two teams; one team focused on children (0-10 years) and one team focused on youth (10-17 years). This temporary position is aimed at the team for children. We work in interdisciplinary teams consisting of medical, psychosocial, and educational expertise. Together with children, parents, and networks, we create the child's plan and based on this, we provide interventions for the child and family. The unit has a special responsibility for patients with spina bifida.

We who work within the organization have an important and challenging mission, which is to strengthen the individual's power and freedom to shape their life. With great commitment and broad expertise, we work every day to get closer to our vision that individuals with disabilities should be able to live a good life based on their own choices.

Our workplace values participation for children and their families! We have drive and a high ambition to continue developing our working methods, processes, and employees. We have a salutogenic approach, which means that everything we do should be meaningful, understandable, and manageable.

We are a knowledge organization that provides tools to develop strengths and remove barriers, as well as promote communication. We create conditions for dialogue from the child's perspective. It is important to us that you share Region Skåne's values.

Within the unit, we have a good team spirit and support each other. We now welcome an occupational therapist colleague to become part of our team. Four occupational therapists work in our unit.

In your role as an occupational therapist, you will work to increase the individual's ability to participate based on their needs by analyzing and providing advice and support regarding daily activities. A large part of the work involves guiding children/youth and their networks to create change in the child's/youth's everyday life. You provide individual interventions as needed and according to the plan made in consultation with the family, the child/youth, and the other members of the habilitation team. Assessing the need for, prescribing, and testing technical aids, as well as participating in housing adaptations, also constitutes a large part of the work. The work is outward-facing and involves collaboration with other organizations such as preschools/schools, children's clinics, assistive technology services, orthopedic technology services, social services, and more. In addition to direct patient work, administrative tasks such as scheduling patients and managing records are included. Your tasks also include structuring and organizing the work independently and together with the rest of the team.

Your working hours are scheduled on weekdays during the day:
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays: 08.00-16.30.
Tuesdays: 08.00-18.30.
Fridays: 08.00-14.30.

Upon employment, you will receive an introduction and guidance from an experienced occupational therapist colleague who will support you during your initial time with us.
