Do you have the courage to lead and create a Vallentuna where people and ideas grow? We are looking for a physiotherapist for our health and medical care unit based in LSS and social psychiatry.

Vallentuna Municipality has the courage to lead. Our ambition is to be at the forefront of innovative solutions, smart working methods, and an efficient organization. As an employee, you play an important role in the development work. The municipality as a workplace is characterized by a consensus between politics and operations, where the common interest and responsibility for the best of Vallentuna shines through.

Engagement, collaboration, and equal value for all should permeate our organization. You who are applying should of course share our common values.

About the operation:

The Health and Medical Care Unit (HSE) of Vallentuna Municipality is an independent operation for licensed personnel within LSS. We sit together in bright and pleasant premises at Väsbygården's elderly care home and have a close collaboration with the municipality's other licensed personnel in elderly care.

We are responsible for healthcare at the municipality's LSS homes and daily activities as well as the social psychiatry support housing. The area consists of 7 housing units, including one social psychiatry unit, 2 daily activities, and a children's and youth home. The HSE team consists of a unit manager, nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.

The Social Administration consists of about 500 employees with the task of working preventively and supportively within both social services and care.

The role also includes participating in team meetings with other professionals.

Your assignment includes actively working with function-maintaining rehabilitation within the health and medical care's areas of responsibility. Collaborating and communicating with both internal and external actors is essential. You will work with deviations and documentation, guide, delegate to, and teach staff in health and medical care interventions, as well as identify and prevent risks in care and map the patient's needs for health and medical care interventions with an emphasis on person-centered care.
