Do you want meaningful work that makes a difference in people's lives?

Welcome to the municipality that is far from average!

The Department of Health and Care is responsible for providing care, support, and assistance to the elderly and people with disabilities, as well as offering support to their relatives. Our goal is to focus on the citizen and provide good conditions for an independent, stimulating, and safe living situation - around the clock. We are 2,500 employees who, in our various roles, provide support and care to citizens in need.

The Position and Responsibilities

We are expanding our team and are now looking for a licensed physiotherapist with a focus on LSS activities and to continuously provide training in transfer techniques to staff across the entire department.

The position is based in the rehabilitation unit and is directed towards individuals with decisions according to the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS).

As a physiotherapist within LSS, you will work with the municipality's group homes, service apartments, and daily activities. The work focuses on strengthening the individual's functional ability, independence, and participation in daily life based on a rehabilitative approach.

You will participate in organizational development, risk assessments, and contribute to quality assurance and development of rehabilitation efforts. The role also includes responsibility for documentation in the Lifecare journal system and working within the quality system for medical technology products.

Your main responsibilities include:

• guiding and training staff in transfer techniques, aids, and rehabilitative methods
• assessing, investigating needs, and implementing individually tailored rehabilitative and habilitative interventions
• prescribing, adapting, guiding, and following up on aids
• providing advice and support to users, relatives, and staff
• participating in risk assessments and development work related to LSS activities
• documenting in the Lifecare journal system and managing the quality system for medical technology products

You will work closely with occupational therapists, nurses, managers, and support and care staff to create the best possible conditions for users' health, function, and quality of life.

We Offer You

With us, you will be part of a rehabilitation unit with dedicated and competent colleagues who value collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a good working environment. You will report directly to the unit manager of the rehabilitation unit and be part of a team consisting of several physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

You will receive a structured introduction and access to a mentor during your initial period. The work is characterized by interdisciplinary collaboration, and you will have the opportunity to participate in internal and external training initiatives to develop in your profession. With us, you will have an independent and varied job where you contribute to increased quality of life for individuals within LSS and support staff through training in transfer techniques.

Who You Are

You have an education as a physiotherapist and a valid license issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare.

We consider it an advantage if you have:

• Experience working within LSS activities
• Experience in conducting training/guiding staff
• Experience working with individuals with disabilities
• Experience with the Lifecare journal system
• Driver's license for transfers between different activities

In the role of physiotherapist within LSS, you will work independently with assessment, planning, and follow-up of rehabilitative interventions in various activities. This requires you to be structured in your approach, able to prioritize between tasks, and document interventions in a legally secure and clear manner. You will need to plan your work to operate in the units and conduct training in transfer techniques. You should also feel secure in your professional role and be able to adapt your methods and communication based on the individual's functional ability, needs, and circumstances.

The work involves close collaboration with support and care staff as well as other professionals, where your ability to build trusting relationships is crucial. You will guide staff in rehabilitative methods, transfer techniques, and the use of aids, which requires clarity, sensitivity, and pedagogical skills. To succeed in this role, you need to enjoy working in a team, take responsibility for your assessments, and actively contribute to improving the quality of LSS activities.
