About the position:

We are now looking for an occupational therapist for our pleasant habilitation clinic in Flemingsberg. The Habilitation Center Flemingsberg is a unit within Habilitation & Health, an operation within Region Stockholm with special expertise in disabilities. At the clinic, we work in multidisciplinary teams focused on the target groups of movement disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and autism, and we meet patients both individually and in groups. The patients live in Huddinge Municipality and Botkyrka Municipality and have a disability. We actively work with a focus on developing abilities and strategies for the patient and their network to manage the disability in daily life.

The challenge with us lies in the breadth of the patient's individual needs and therefore provides opportunities for broad experience as well as professional and personal development. With us, you follow the child together with their family and network and can make a real difference!

The tasks consist of a wide range of occupational therapy interventions. Your role involves spreading knowledge to the patient, parents, and network about support for the patient to manage their daily activities. The work includes functional assessments, mapping, establishing care and action plans in consultation with the patient and their network, prescribing and following up on aids including high-tech aids in the area of cognitive support, strategies regarding time, structure, and routines that promote independence, housing adaptations, and advice and support regarding disabilities. Parent education/courses on daily functioning, structure, and planning are also included in the assignment.

The work is conducted both individually with the patient/network and in groups. Our patients often have complex needs where collaboration is required, not only within the team but also with healthcare neighbors, municipal operations, and other authorities.

About you:

We are looking for a licensed occupational therapist with experience working with children/youth or individuals with disabilities. Specific knowledge and experience with children/youth with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities are required, as well as experience with cognitive aids.

You are a person who is proactive, creative, and engaged in finding solutions based on the patient's focus. You enjoy working both independently and in a team and take personal responsibility for planning, developing, and driving patient work forward in a structured manner. The tasks are varied and require flexibility. You are interested in leading groups and have good computer skills. With us, you need to have the ability to collaborate and be driven by collegial learning as you work closely with other professional categories in your unit. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
