About the Job

As an occupational therapist at Närhälsan rehabilitation clinic, you will work with a wide variety of patients of all ages, which gives you excellent opportunities to develop in your profession. The work consists of patient visits at the clinic, home visits, and digital consultations.

Working hours are scheduled during the day, Monday to Friday, with flexible hours.

The job involves close collaboration with other professionals, both within your own unit and with other agencies.

About the Recruitment Process

The selection process consists of two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who invite candidates for a phone interview. After the application period, the recruiting manager will make a second selection of applicants and invite them for an interview at the clinic.

We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe as concrete situations as possible and try to avoid generalizing answers – this is so we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the outcome was.
