Physiotherapist to the Physiotherapy Unit at Södertälje Hospital

Do you want to specialize in your profession while maintaining breadth? With us, there is a learning work environment where you can develop regardless of how many years you have been in the field.

We have experienced colleagues and short decision-making paths, making it easy to anchor new ideas. Several colleagues have returned to the workplace because they appreciate the working methods of the area.

Health professions encompass a wide range of areas including occupational therapists, dietitians, wellness consultants, physiotherapists, social workers, speech therapists, psychologists, and care planners. Our unit managers have shared positions and are therefore well anchored in the clinic. The operation has won the region's Gyllene Äpplet award twice, which is given to highlight developing initiatives both from management and staff.

Our specialists work together on cross-functional assignments and are part of our own research and development group that stimulates and supports the development of our professions. This includes areas such as patient safety and quality, student supervision, and psychosocial well-being in the workplace. We apply Region Stockholm's competence ladders for physiotherapists in clinical care. We offer several wellness activities such as training, meditation, and supervision.

Now, in February, our geriatric inpatient departments are moving to completely newly built, purpose-designed premises, and we are therefore expanding our physiotherapist group.

The current position will be located in the geriatric inpatient department. The work includes physiotherapeutic assessments, mobilization, breathing exercises, and testing of mobility aids. The focus is on promoting mobility, preventing falls, and supporting patients' independence. You will have the opportunity to help build the future of geriatrics.
