Vision and Hearing Clinics

We are looking for a licensed healthcare social worker for the children and youth teams!

About Us

We are two different specialist resources within Region Sörmland with particular expertise in permanent visual and hearing impairments and their consequences in everyday life. Our mission is to create conditions for children, young people, and adults with permanent disabilities to live an active and independent life through developing, supportive, and compensatory measures. The habilitation is a complement to other healthcare services. The position is divided between the clinics and is regional with clinics in Eskilstuna, Katrineholm, and Nyköping. We have a good collaborative climate where we value teamwork and offer you a fun, stimulating, and developing job both individually and in teams.

The vision clinic's mission involves providing rehabilitation measures to individuals with varying degrees and types of visual impairment or other vision-affected conditions. The work takes place in interdisciplinary teams consisting of social workers, optometrists, physiotherapists, vision pedagogues, occupational therapists, and medical secretaries.

The hearing and deaf clinic's mission involves providing rehabilitation measures to individuals with varying degrees and types of hearing impairment/deafness or other hearing-affected conditions. The work occurs in interdisciplinary teams consisting of social workers, physiotherapists, special educators, speech therapists, engineers, and medical secretaries.

We provide services individually and in groups, physically or digitally. The work is varied and diverse and is adapted based on the patient's needs, the teams' working methods, and the daily routines of the organization. The clinics operate according to national care processes and national care pathways.

Your Responsibilities

The social worker's task is to complement medical care with psychosocial knowledge based on a holistic view in support of the patient and their relatives. This means that you are the link between healthcare and the surrounding community and convey information about social legislation and other forms of community support. The focus of the conversations can be supportive, crisis-oriented, processing, or existential. Your visits can take place both at our clinic or at the patient's everyday arenas. Much of the work is done together with the team.

Social workers within the habilitation services meet regularly at regional professional meetings to discuss and collaborate on profession-specific issues. Continuous development work is ongoing within our organization, where all employees are involved. You play a crucial role in collaborating with other professions to contribute to a holistic perspective on the patient's life situation.

Your Qualifications

For the position, it is a requirement that you are a licensed healthcare social worker. If you are trained in CBT, it is an advantage. We place great importance on your personal qualities, such as being flexible, having a creative problem-solving ability, and showing a strong commitment to the target group. Since you will be an important part of the interdisciplinary teams, it is essential that you enjoy working with others and believe that the best results are achieved together.

We Offer

• Health allowance of 5000 SEK
• Flexible working hours with flexible time agreements
• Friendly and experienced colleagues and managers
• Regular case supervision
• Mentorship from experienced social workers in the existing organization.
