Occupational Therapist at Strängnäs Municipality

Are you driven by independent work and want to help create the best possible living situation for our patients? Do you thrive in a smaller work group that focuses on development and prioritizes the needs of the care recipients? Then you might be our new occupational therapist.

With us, you will find a workplace where the future of municipal healthcare is developing in a pleasant climate, with present leadership and active employee participation.

The municipal healthcare is responsible for medical care and rehabilitation for the residents of the municipality. Here, district nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists work together with the care recipient at the center. Our main tasks within municipal healthcare are to provide care and treatment to individuals who need support and cannot reach their healthcare center.

We offer you:

• involvement in the continuous improvement work of municipal healthcare for both our patients and you as an employee.
• a smaller staff group with good cohesion.
• opportunities for professional development.
• a wellness allowance of 3000 SEK/year.

We are now looking for two occupational therapists to join our team!

Delegation and guidance of nursing staff in activating and rehabilitative approaches are an important part of the work.
