habilitation & Health offers specialized care and support to individuals with permanent disabilities; such as reduced ability to communicate, see, hear, or move. The goal is to maintain and develop functional ability, create conditions for good health, and enable active participation in society. Do you want to make a difference for people with disabilities? Welcome to habilitation & Health, part of the Västra Götaland Region. Together we have the power to change.

Habilitation is specialized health care for adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, movement disabilities, or acquired brain injuries. We provide health-promoting and therapeutic interventions based on each individual's unique needs and circumstances, and we have specialist knowledge of how disabilities can affect daily life, health, and development.

Description

In your role as a psychologist at Habilitation Borås, you will provide specialized interventions to individuals over 18 years old with congenital or early-acquired permanent disabilities that cause significant difficulties in daily life.

The specialization includes both breadth and in-depth knowledge in several areas. At Habilitation, we work in interdisciplinary teams with medical and psychosocial expertise. The catchment area for Habilitation Borås includes municipalities in Södra Älvsborg, where the placement will be based in Borås. The position will also include work at our clinic in Alingsås.

We are now looking for a licensed psychologist. The position is a permanent employment at 100%.

Responsibilities

The tasks are varied and involve assessing and treating with the aim of providing patients with the conditions for a better everyday life. We perform interventions that provide the patient and their surroundings with increased knowledge about the disability and its consequences, as well as teaching strategies to manage difficulties. The interventions are primarily given to the patient but may also include consultative interventions to important people in the patient's immediate environment. You work based on scientifically proven methods and clinical experience, and the interventions are provided individually or in groups during defined treatment periods. The work primarily takes place in the organization's premises but can also be provided in the patient's immediate environment if necessary.

• A varied job in an interdisciplinary team.
• Regular supervision with supervisors and colleagues.
• Comprehensive and structured introduction period.
• Opportunities to participate in development work.
• Common benefits for all employees within the Västra Götaland Region.
• A pleasant working environment with engaged colleagues.

You have a good ability to reflect on your work in dialogue with colleagues and management, as well as confidence in making your own professional assessments.
