Vacant job

We are now looking for a physiotherapist for the neuro and brain injury team at Adult Rehabilitation.

The neuro and brain injury team at Adult Rehabilitation in Örebro County provides rehabilitation to individuals with brain injuries, neurological diseases, and/or mobility impairments. The goal of our efforts is to ensure that individuals with disabilities achieve increased participation and satisfaction in their daily lives. We are organized in a cross-professional team and carry out our interventions with a long-term perspective, focusing on everyday life. We involve relatives and staff/personal assistants in our work. We collaborate with the network and other stakeholders responsible for interventions for our target group. Adult Rehabilitation also has county-wide services for other target groups, such as the autism team, the team for intellectual disabilities, the sensory-based treatment team - experience/music experience, and the Aphasia House.

Region Örebro County is one of the largest employers in the region and an important growth engine. We work for people's health, safety, and well-being, as well as for the development of the county. We offer exciting and important jobs in areas such as healthcare, dental care, public transport, culture, and business development. Together, we create a better life.

As a physiotherapist in the neuro and brain injury team, you will have a broad and varied field of work and become part of a team consisting of occupational therapists, psychologists, social workers, and speech therapists. The team has access to a neurologist for consultation on medical issues when needed. You will work directly with patients and their relatives, as well as indirectly with the network through consultative work. Your responsibilities will also include active participation in team work and general rehabilitation tasks such as initial visits, individual rehabilitation plans, and network meetings.

Our patients often have spasticity issues, deformities, and motor difficulties. As a complement to other care, you will assess needs and provide interventions related to positioning, mobilization, and pain relief. You will make assessments, initiate treatments, prescribe standing, walking, and exercise aids, design home training programs, offer training periods (including in a pool), and instruct/train networks and staff groups. You will meet patients at our clinics, during home visits, and at their workplaces. You will closely collaborate with occupational therapists regarding complex seating interventions. When necessary, you will refer to Orthopedic Technology or other specialist units and may accompany the patient there.

You may have advisory discussions about healthy lifestyle habits and also provide advice and support to find ways to increase the patient's activity level. You will independently plan your work in close collaboration with your entire team, based at Karlahuset in Örebro, covering our county areas. You will carry out interventions alone or together with other professionals from the team.

You will be offered a mentor and participate in physiotherapists' professional meetings every month.
