Description

Do you want a job that truly matters? We are currently looking for an occupational therapist to join our team in ordinary housing.

Here you will have the opportunity to work with early rehabilitation, person-centered care, and contribute to a safe and secure discharge from inpatient care.

You will be part of an engaged team of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and nursing staff. Together, we work closely with the care recipient, focusing on collaboration and a holistic view.

How do we support you?

We offer a solid introduction tailored to your needs as a new employee. You will have access to mentors who serve as both educators and sounding boards, close supervision at the office, and continuous professional development that strengthens you in your professional role.

Job Responsibilities

As an occupational therapist with us, you will work preventively, activity-preserving, and activity-enhancing. Your closest colleagues are occupational therapists and physiotherapists, contributing to a holistic view of human activity and functional ability.

You will take your own initiatives, which include creating strategies, conducting activity training, or prescribing the execution of selected measures and assistive devices. Another part of the job is to assess the need for changes in the physical environment.

You actively contribute with guidance, advice, and support, both in individual patient cases and to colleagues, relatives, and other professional groups. Together with the team, you create safety and quality in every intervention. With us, you have great opportunities to plan your workday!
