Licensed Occupational Therapist Wanted in Torvalla

Are you a licensed occupational therapist interested in working with a well-functioning team and opportunities for development in your role? Then this might be the job for you!

The unit for licensed personnel in Torvalla/Brunflo is now looking for two new colleagues in Torvalla to strengthen the team. Currently, the team consists of two occupational therapists, three physiotherapists, and three district nurses.

There are good opportunities for collegial support both at the workplaces and during professional meetings with other occupational therapists within our municipal home healthcare. The purpose of these meetings is both professional development and experience exchange, and they are usually very appreciated.
