Vacant job

Hospitals in the West

Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Västra Götaland Region and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

Description

Our operations are growing! – We have received expanded assignments and are therefore looking for 2 new colleagues to welcome to our wonderful occupational therapy group at Kungälv Hospital.

We are a smaller hospital with a strong sense of community, close leadership, and good opportunities to broaden within various areas.

We are a group of 13 occupational therapists and one rehabilitation assistant working in somatic inpatient care – with a particular focus on geriatrics, medicine, surgery, and orthopedics. In addition to somatics, we also work in outpatient care with hand injuries, cancer rehabilitation, and stroke home rehabilitation. This spring, we will also be starting an elderly care team in the emergency department where the occupational therapist has an important role. Here, you will meet an experienced and competent team that is happy to share their knowledge and help each other grow! As a newcomer to the group, you will receive an individually tailored introduction with an assigned mentor who supports you in a safe way.

Organizationally, Occupational Therapy belongs to the Rehabilitation Unit together with physiotherapy, speech therapy, social workers, dietitians, stroke home rehabilitation teams, mobile palliative teams, care collaboration teams, palliative pain, and neuropsychology. The Rehabilitation Unit is part of the area of Geriatrics, Neurology, and Rehabilitation at Hospitals in the West.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of our team and primarily work with our stroke and/or medical departments and welcome you to an educational and developing position. There is also an opportunity to be involved in starting up and developing the new elderly care team in the emergency department.

As an occupational therapist with us, you work person-centered, primarily with geriatric patients. You participate in interdisciplinary teams and support patients in regaining function and independence after illness or injury. Your tasks include assessment, mapping, and implementation of occupational therapy interventions. Rehabilitation is patient-centered and within stroke, rehabilitation is based on national guidelines for stroke care. Patients' rehabilitation is planned together in an interdisciplinary team, and we value teamwork and a good work environment.

We work with continuous development and improvement of the operations, where all our employees play an important role.

Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed occupational therapist. You are curious, flexible, and structured, and have a natural ability to collaborate with both internal and external parties as well as to create safety in meetings with patients and colleagues.

You have an empathetic approach, thrive in a team, and contribute to a good work environment. Experience in hospital care, particularly in medicine and/or neurology, is meritorious – but most important is your motivation, engagement, and willingness to contribute to good care and rehabilitation.

Healthcare and rehabilitation are constantly evolving, and as this change occurs, we are looking for someone who thrives in an environment where new working methods emerge. You easily adapt, contribute to improvement and development work, and want to drive employee-driven operational development, where your ideas and initiatives can take place.

We place great importance on your personal qualities such as collaboration ability, initiative, and problem-solving. We appreciate your ability to handle varying workloads with a calm and secure approach. The work often involves multiple parallel tasks, and we support each other across area boundaries to create structure in the workday. Therefore, we value that you are flexible, can shift focus, and re-prioritize when necessary.
