Our Operations

Summer is approaching rapidly and we are looking for you who want to try working at one of Sweden's largest emergency hospitals.

The Department of Geriatrics, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Pain Center is characterized by well-functioning interprofessional collaboration, something we are very proud of. We are experts in rehabilitation but always strive to become even better. As part of this, there is a strong focus on research and progress, both within and outside the hospital. As an employee, you are an important part of this; it is natural for you to want to develop and drive the operations forward.

We are now looking for several professions who want to become part of us for the summer of 2026. With us, occupational therapists, dietitians, physiotherapists, social workers, speech therapists, doctors, psychologists, nurses, and nursing assistants work. We conduct both our own outpatient and inpatient care, and within the section for health professionals, we work together with other areas of operations.

We want you to feel welcome with us; as a newcomer, you are offered:

• supervision
• individually tailored introduction program
• professional network
• close collaboration with experienced colleagues and other professions

As an employee at Akademiska sjukhuset, you work person-centered, which requires collaboration skills, approach, and flexibility.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are interested in working in neurology, stroke, and rehabilitation medicine, whether you are an experienced or newly graduated speech therapist. To be considered for the positions, we see that you either hold a license or that you will have completed a university education in speech therapy by June 2026. We care about having the right person in the right place, and great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. The position may involve placement at Akademiska sjukhuset or Lasarettet in Enköping. Selection and interviews may be conducted continuously, so do not wait to apply!

We Offer

Fixed-term employment within your profession with a start date as agreed, until 2025-08-14, with a possible extension. Selection and interviews will be conducted continuously, so do not wait with your application, as employment may occur before the final application date.

Before a hiring decision, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted regarding all applicants who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and adolescents, or involuntary care of substance abusers, areas that are covered by optional record extracts.
