Welcome to Sundsvall Municipality!

Sundsvall Municipality is one of Northern Sweden's largest employers with around 8,000 employees and over 300 professions. Together, we fulfill one of the most important missions in society – to create benefit and value for residents, businesses, and future generations. Regardless of the activity, we work towards the same goal: to be a great place to live, work, and thrive.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development. We are a pioneer in digital development and artificial intelligence, leading the work to create smart solutions for the future public sector.

Sundsvall plays a central role in the green transition in Northern Sweden. We are convinced that the right places for this transition are here. As a municipality, we are preparing to grow by preparing land, creating new educational opportunities, marketing the municipality, and welcoming new residents from all over the world.

Your new workplace:

We need more physiotherapists and are therefore looking for you who want to be part of our unit.

We are a stable organization with 25 physiotherapist colleagues, which provides good opportunities for collegial support. With us, you will receive an individually tailored introduction, and we apply mentorship to give you the best conditions to step into the role of physiotherapist.

Many of us have worked here for a long time, and we describe our work climate as open, supportive, and safe. As a new colleague, you are encouraged to ask questions. Our workplace is characterized by openness and that all individuals are treated equally and with respect. We value community and have fun together.

Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation assistants together form Sundsvall Municipality Rehab. We all work in our beautiful premises in Nacksta, which creates good conditions for close experience exchange and helps strengthen each other and our competencies. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists complement each other in geographical teams, where collaboration in interdisciplinary teams is a central part of the work.

Sundsvall Municipality also has a MAR and an assistive technology coordinator as operational support.

How you contribute in the role of physiotherapist:

As a physiotherapist with us, you work both in the patient's own home, in special accommodations, and in social psychiatric accommodations. The work is varied, and you prioritize and organize your workday independently and together with colleagues based on the cases you are responsible for.

We have close interdisciplinary collaboration with occupational therapists, nurses, rehabilitation assistants, care staff, and unit managers. You participate in regular team meetings where the needs of care and support recipients are at the center.

In your role, you conduct functional assessments and work to preserve, develop, and strengthen the physical functions of care and support recipients through specific training and everyday rehabilitation in the home environment. You also work with preservation and compensatory measures and assess the need for and prescribe personal assistive devices.

Guidance, advice, support, and instructions to care and support recipients, relatives, and care staff are a central part of the work.
