At Region Dalarna, you will find meaningful work where you can make a difference. Together, we work towards a sustainable Dalarna with development potential in all parts of the county.

Apply for a developing position as an Occupational Therapist at the Adult Rehabilitation Center in Dalarna!

The Rehabilitation Center in Region Dalarna is a county-wide specialist resource with clinics in five locations. Our mission is to offer individuals with congenital or early-acquired disabilities comprehensive specialist interventions, with the goal of strengthening functional capacity and contributing to the best possible quality of life.

Are you an occupational therapist interested in working with patients who have various types of disabilities, often of a more extensive nature? At the rehabilitation center, you are offered a meaningful and varied assignment with the opportunity for long-term patient contacts.

As an occupational therapist with us, you will follow many patients over time, which provides the prerequisites for building good relationships and working systematically with planning, follow-up, and adapted interventions. You work in close collaboration with other professional groups within the team, but also have significant individual responsibility in your daily work.

A colleague describes the work like this:

"I think we have exciting and complex cases. There is room for creativity in the assignments, especially in working with adults. I feel that I have a lot of individual responsibility for my interventions and care planning, which I appreciate. I receive trust from both colleagues and managers that I do my job well."

A meaningful and varied assignment as an occupational therapist.

As an occupational therapist with us, you play a central role in the patient's daily life. Your tasks are both diverse and developing - you prescribe assistive devices, follow up on interventions, perform functional assessments, and work preventively and therapeutically with individualized measures. You supervise and provide advice to both patients and their networks, and you carry out interventions that strengthen both physical and cognitive abilities - always in close collaboration with the patient, relatives, and the interdisciplinary team.

You will also write certificates, for example for personal assistance, and have the opportunity to lead groups and training sessions based on patients' needs and wishes. We encourage participation in the development of our working methods - both digital and practical - and collaborate actively with other actors in healthcare, not least municipal operations.

We offer a workplace where competence development is a given. Regular internal training, theme days, and collegial exchanges are held here. As a new employee, you will receive both a mentor and a supervisor within the profession. Additionally, we have joint professional teams every week where we support and learn from each other.

The work suits you if you want to work long-term with patients and be part of an engaged team with different professions. You will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in many different diagnoses - including more rare conditions - and develop continuously in your professional role. With us, you also have great freedom to plan your own time and can count on support when you need it.

Working at the Rehabilitation Center is about making a difference - every day.

• is a licensed occupational therapist
• has a B driver's license
