Physiotherapist for the Rehabilitation Unit

Do you want a developing and stimulating job in a good work environment? Warm welcome to the Rehabilitation Unit!

The Surgical Unit (VE) includes surgical activities in Malmö, Lund, and Landskrona. Here we provide acute, basic, and highly specialized care with wards and outpatient clinics in both Malmö and Lund. We receive patients with referrals from the entire Southern healthcare region and also from other parts of Sweden. The patients vary greatly in terms of both diagnosis and care needs.

The Rehabilitation Unit is a separate unit that is part of VE surgery and consists of about 18 employees with the professions of occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and social worker. We have a total of 11 physiotherapists; 5 based in Lund and 6 based in Malmö. The workgroup consists of both experienced and newer colleagues.

We work in teams on wards and outpatient clinics consisting of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, dietitians, physiotherapists, pharmacists, occupational therapists, secretaries, and social workers. The collaboration in the teams is close, and the paths between the different professions are short. This provides a broad competence and understanding of each patient's care needs, thus contributing to a sense of security for you as a physiotherapist in your treatment work.
