Our Job Offer

Do you want to strengthen our unit and make a difference for the most vulnerable elderly patients in the hospital? Would you like to be part of a process where one of the geriatrics departments is being transformed into a geriatric emergency care unit (GAVA) and the other into hospital geriatrics for patients who need to be close to the resources of the emergency hospital.

Are you a licensed physiotherapist driven by collaboration and short decision-making paths? Do you want to work with geriatrics in an emergency hospital and have the opportunity to work in other parts of the emergency hospital as well? Do you thrive in a context that is developing to meet the needs of the most vulnerable elderly patients in the hospital, where the physiotherapist's contributions are highly valued?

We are looking for you who are a licensed physiotherapist and may have worked for a few years. You are welcome to have supervisor training and experience and interest in mentoring physiotherapy students. It is important that you are a team player! You will receive an individually tailored introduction and will always have experienced colleagues to consult with. We offer clear routines and a structured working method.

Currently, we work Monday to Friday and have flexible hours. Weekend work may become relevant as the business develops and needs change.

As an employee at Danderyd Hospital, you will receive compensation for healthcare, a wellness allowance of 5,000 SEK per year, and access to the well-equipped staff gym Lyftet for only 800 SEK per year. Staff parking is available at a favorable price (30 SEK/day) and subsidized SL tickets. Soon, subsidized work shoes will be introduced. The subway, buses, and Roslagsbanan are in immediate proximity to the hospital. If you prefer to cycle, that is also excellent. You will receive favorable agreements for parental leave, pension, and vacation.
