Job Description

The Neurosurgical Clinic at Linköping University Hospital is one of six specialist clinics in neurosurgery in Sweden. The clinic's catchment area is the Southeast healthcare region with about one million inhabitants. The operations are conducted as inpatient and outpatient care and have about 200 employees. The Neurosurgical Clinic consists of a care department, a postoperative department, an intermediate care unit (NIMA), an intensive care unit (NIVA), and an outpatient unit. The neurosurgical activity is a highly qualified discipline with advanced surgical procedures.

We work in teams where collaboration and commitment are highly valued. Close cooperation between different professional groups is a given. We are now looking for you who want to work as a physiotherapist at the neurosurgical clinic, primarily focusing on care department 71. As a physiotherapist with us, you will primarily work with neurological assessments before/after surgery, mobilization, respiration, and also have some outpatient activities.

You will have great freedom to influence your workday as you plan your workday based on the needs of the operations. In addition to the main work in care department 71, some work will also take place in the clinic's other units, which provides a great opportunity for a varied workday.

Work Group

Patient work is carried out in close collaboration with experienced nursing assistants and nurses; patient work is strongly team-based. You will collaborate with two physiotherapist colleagues and will be part of a rehab team with an occupational therapist and a social worker.

About You

We are looking for you who are a licensed physiotherapist. It is advantageous if you have experience in neurology and/or inpatient care.

As you work in constant dialogue with patients, relatives, colleagues, and other operations, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language both orally and in writing. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

As the needs of patients and operations can change rapidly, it is important that you can easily adapt to changing circumstances. You can quickly change your perspective and see the opportunities in changes. Since the work is team-based, you have the ability to work well with others. You listen, communicate, and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner. The work is independent, which requires you to take initiative, start activities, and achieve results.
