About the workplace

Ersta Hospital is part of Ersta Diakoni and is Sweden's largest non-profit hospital with a clear value base – to see the whole person. For 175 years, we have provided healthcare in Södermalm, Stockholm, but we welcome patients from all over the country. Here we offer high-quality, specialized healthcare with both breadth and expertise. We are a university hospital unit and conduct research, education, and development in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet. We are growing to help more, and since 2023, the hospital's capacity has tripled, and eight new operations have started.

The geriatric clinic consists of three geriatric wards, a specialized rehabilitation unit, and a cognitive reception. The specialized geriatric care at Ersta Hospital is characterized by a holistic view of the person that encompasses all aspects of life. The team consists of doctors, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, social workers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, nursing assistants, and administrators with high competence in geriatric care.

About the role

As a physiotherapist, you will be part of a team and plan the patient's rehabilitation. You will work with assessments, training/treatment, rehabilitation, and prescribing aids. The tasks also include reporting to primary care rehab/neuro teams. You will support other staff in matters related to aids.

You will rotate between our geriatric ward and specialized rehabilitation.

Who are you?

You are confident in your professional role and enjoy working in a team. You have good collaboration skills, are attentive, and communicate constructively. You are flexible, positive, and focused on problem-solving.

You share Ersta's value base of seeing the whole person and our core values; professionalism, trust, and hope.

Your experience

We are looking for a licensed physiotherapist. We view positively if you have experience from geriatric or somatic inpatient care or primary care rehabilitation, but we also welcome you as a recent graduate to apply to our experienced team!
