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 Rehabilitation and Pain Center consists of three sections: Health Professions, Pain Center, and Rehabilitation Medicine. All sections are 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 professionals 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 provide both our own outpatient and inpatient care, and within the health professions section, we collaborate with other operational areas.

We want you to feel welcome with us; as a newcomer, you will be 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, approachability, and flexibility.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone interested in working in inpatient care and who is either an experienced or newly graduated social worker or licensed health and medical care social worker. We care about having the right person in the right place, and great importance will be placed on personal suitability. Selection and interviews may be conducted continuously, so do not wait to apply!

We Offer

Temporary employment within your profession with a start date according to agreement, 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 application deadline.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted regarding all applicants who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to all who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not currently intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.
