Welcome to a workplace that is facing an exciting time of development!

About the workplace

Primary Care East operates in both Sala and Västerås. At the clinic, primary care is provided to meet the residents' needs for basic internal medicine specialist care, specialized palliative care, advanced home care via AH teams, and qualified rehabilitation efforts as well as mobile care teams in collaboration with the municipalities' home care services.

In Sala, there is a primary care department - ward 1, an AH team, and a care team, a medical reception, and a rehabilitation unit - the rehabilitation unit. In Västerås, the clinic is tasked with running a primary care department in Västerås (NÄVA). There is a specialized palliative ward, a palliative advisory team, an AH team, and a care team.

At the Rehabilitation Unit, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, speech therapists, and rehabilitation assistants work. We provide rehabilitation resources to all our units in Sala, but we also have a physiotherapy-social worker-speech therapy reception and team-based outpatient care. We work from a person-centered approach.

We offer you:

• to create good care for our patients together with colleagues.
• a workplace with a good working environment with opportunities for participation, influence, and professional development.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to be involved in this development. The work includes occupational therapy tasks such as assessment, treatment, training individually or in groups, planning for discharge, and prescribing aids.

Supervision of students occurs. We also collaborate with the municipality's rehab team, which we are now co-located with in our new premises.

We also value if you have an interest or experience in business development and digitization. Furthermore, we see that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language in speech and writing.
