About the Workplace

The rehabilitation center in Falkenberg-Varberg is one of three departments in Halland that provides rehabilitative services to children, youth, and adults with various forms of disabilities. The department is divided into three teams, two of which work with children up to 18 years old and one with adults from 18 years old. The department has a wealth of collective experience and a desire for continuous development to meet the needs of the patients in the best way.

Currently, we are looking for an occupational therapist for the children's team in Falkenberg, but in the future, there may be needs in the team in Varberg. The placement location can be discussed as we are facing a change that will allow us to gather the entire staff group in Varberg.
