Vision and Hearing Clinics

The Vision and Hearing Clinics are looking for a licensed health and medical care social worker for the children and youth teams!

About Us

We are two different specialist resources within Region Sörmland with specific knowledge about permanent visual and hearing impairments and their consequences in daily 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 locations 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 a team.

The mission of the Vision Clinic is to provide rehabilitative measures to individuals with various degrees and types of visual impairment or other vision-affected conditions. Work is conducted in interdisciplinary teams consisting of social workers, optometrists, physiotherapists, vision pedagogues, occupational therapists, and medical secretaries.

The mission of the Hearing and Deaf Clinic is to provide rehabilitative measures to individuals with various degrees and types of hearing impairment/deafness or other hearing-affected conditions. Work is conducted 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 multifaceted and is adapted based on the patient's needs, the team's 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 from a holistic perspective 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 various forms of community support. The focus of conversations can be supportive, crisis-oriented, processing, or existential. Your visits can take place both at our clinic or in the patient's everyday environments. 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. Our organization is continuously working on development, where all employees are involved. You have an important role in collaborating with other professions to contribute a holistic perspective on the patient's life situation.

Your Qualifications

For the position, it is a requirement that you are a licensed health and medical care social worker. If you are trained in CBT, it is considered an asset. We place great importance on your personal qualities, such as being flexible, having a creative problem-solving ability, and showing great 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.

You Will Be Offered

• Wellness allowance of 5000 SEK
• Flexible hours agreement with flexible working hours
• Friendly and experienced colleagues and managers
