Vacant job

At Region Dalarna, you will have a meaningful job where you can make a difference. Together, we work for a sustainable Dalarna with development potential in all parts of the county.

Apply for a developing position as an occupational therapist at the Adult Rehabilitation in Dalarna!

The rehabilitation in Region Dalarna is a county-wide specialist resource with facilities in five locations. Our mission is to offer individuals with congenital or early acquired disabilities comprehensive specialist interventions, aimed at enhancing functional ability and contributing to the best possible quality of life.

Are you an occupational therapist interested in working with patients who have various types of disabilities, often of a more extensive nature? At the rehabilitation center, you are offered a meaningful and varied role with the opportunity for long-term patient contacts.

As an occupational therapist with us, you will follow many patients over time, which provides the opportunity to build good relationships and work systematically with planning, follow-up, and tailored interventions. You will work closely with other professional groups within the team, but you also have a significant personal responsibility in your daily work.

A colleague describes the work as follows:

"I think we have exciting and complex cases. There is room for creativity in the assignments, especially when working with adults. I feel that I have a great personal responsibility for my interventions and care planning, which I appreciate. I receive trust from both colleagues and managers that I do my job well."

A meaningful and varied role as an occupational therapist

As an occupational therapist with us, you will have a central role in the patient's daily life. Your tasks are both diverse and developing - you prescribe aids, follow up on interventions, conduct functional assessments, and work preventively and therapeutically with individualized measures. You guide and provide advice to both patients and their networks, and you implement interventions that strengthen both physical and cognitive abilities - always in close collaboration with the patient, relatives, and the interdisciplinary team.

You will also write certificates, for example, for personal assistance, and have the opportunity to lead groups and training based on the patients' needs and wishes. We encourage participation in the development of our working methods - both digitally and practically - and actively collaborate with other actors in healthcare, especially municipal services.

We offer a workplace where professional development is a given. Here, regular internal training, theme days, and peer exchanges are organized. As a new employee, you will receive both a mentor and a supervisor within the profession. Additionally, we have joint professional teams every week where we support and learn from each other.

The work suits you if you want to work long-term with patients and be part of an engaged team with various professions. You will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in many different diagnoses - including rarer conditions - and continuously develop in your professional role. With us, you also have great freedom to plan your own time and can count on support when you need it.

Working at the Rehabilitation Center means making a difference - every day.

We are looking for someone who:

• is a licensed occupational therapist
• has a B driver's license

Preferred qualifications include:

• experience in the profession

You have an interest in the target group of the Rehabilitation Center. As a person, you are responsible, flexible, and have good collaboration skills. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. You will receive a good introduction with a mentor and supervisor, as well as professional meetings with occupational therapist colleagues in the organization that contribute to your development.
