I meet many different patients and appreciate the freedom to plan my workdays. My experience is also that the patients are very grateful for the work we do. Also, my colleagues are a major reason why I enjoy working here so much" - Adam, Occupational Therapist

Your Summer Job

As an Occupational Therapist within municipal health and social care, you will perform rehabilitation interventions and work on the patient's activity performance related to daily activities. Your work is carried out in the patient's home – this could be at a nursing home, group home, service apartment, short-term unit, or in a private residence.

You will meet patients of various ages with varying care needs. Your interventions are therefore always based on each individual's abilities and resources, with the goal of promoting participation, independence, and health. In your daily work, you will collaborate with experienced and knowledgeable colleagues from other professions, such as nurses, specialist nurses, assistant nurses, and physiotherapists.

Main Duties:

• Assess the patient's need for rehabilitation interventions, such as activity training or compensation for functional loss
• Be responsible for ADL assessments, training, home adaptation, assistive device prescription, as well as performing and evaluating treatments
• Supervise care/home service staff on how to perform transfers
• Documentation in the business system Combine
• Other tasks may also occur

Who are you?

We are looking for you who are a licensed occupational therapist or who will graduate as an occupational therapist in the summer of 2026. Previous experience of working within health and social care is an asset.

A B-class driver's license is a requirement, as a car is used in the service. You have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, as well as good computer skills.

As a person, you have a positive attitude and a genuine interest in people. To thrive with us, we believe you enjoy a varied daily routine and are good at planning and structuring your work efficiently. You are self-reliant and take responsibility for your tasks, while also having good collaboration skills and appreciating working in a team.

We place great importance on personal suitability for the position!

What do we offer you?

As a summer substitute, you will get a varied job where no two days are alike – your workplace is where the patient lives. You will have great freedom to plan and organize your work independently. We offer you an introduction tailored to your experience, and each team has a mentor to support you so you feel secure.

Return Bonus – Have you summer worked within the social administration before? Then a bonus at the end of the summer may be applicable!
