Paramedicine Mälarsjukhuset, Eskilstuna

About Us

The Occupational Therapy Clinic at Mälarsjukhuset provides rehabilitation in both outpatient and inpatient care. Working in inpatient care is rewarding but can also be demanding as we are an important piece in the discharge process. The occupational therapist group operates from shared facilities with physiotherapists and rehabilitation assistants, ensuring that colleagues are always nearby to ask questions, reflect with, seek help from, or assist in daily tasks.

We are now looking for someone with a particular interest in neurological rehabilitation in the inpatient department. The position is in the stroke unit where you will work alongside three other occupational therapists, one of whom is part of the external stroke team.

Your Responsibilities

As an occupational therapist in the stroke unit, you will meet patients with stroke symptoms, confirmed strokes, and patients with other neurological diseases. You will conduct initial stroke assessments to determine the need for further evaluation and rehabilitation. You will also perform structured assessments of both personal and instrumental activities of daily living (ADL), cognitive abilities, and hand and arm function. Based on your assessment, you will draw conclusions about the rehabilitation needs of the patient.

The unit cares for various neurological patients with different needs. Some patients require shorter interventions and assessments before discharge, while others have a longer care need for inpatient rehabilitation over an extended period before discharge. Assessment, prescription, and trial of assistive devices are also among the most common tasks. Home visits may occur as part of the rehabilitation process.

We support each other across departmental boundaries, which means you will have the opportunity to gain insight and experience working in other departments.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed occupational therapist. You have a strong ability to collaborate, as you will work in a team with physiotherapists, speech therapists, dietitians, social workers, nursing assistants, nurses, and doctors. Collaboration also occurs externally, for example, with occupational therapists or case managers within municipal services. You are flexible and can easily adapt to what the situation requires. You are also structured and responsible for your tasks. We prefer that you feel secure in your role and have good self-awareness. Since home visits may occur, a valid driver's license (category B) is desirable.

We place great importance on personal qualities.

You Will Receive

• Wellness allowance.
• Flexible working hours.
• Opportunities for professional development.
• Friendly and experienced colleagues and supervisors.
