Vacant job

Are you a physiotherapist or occupational therapist looking to make a positive difference for children, young people, and adults with disabilities? Then you might be our new colleague at the Habilitation Center in Karlshamn!

About Us

The Habilitation Center offers interventions for individuals with congenital or early-acquired disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, autism, and extensive motor impairments. We provide evidence-based care grounded in current research and proven experience. The Habilitation Center is represented by one department in Karlshamn and one in Karlskrona, but we operate as a unified center with close collaboration across the county. We have approximately 50 employees, of whom 7 are physiotherapists.

For us, it is important to have a person-centered and health-promoting approach where we work to create value for the patient. Therefore, we actively work on accessibility and good treatment. At our workplace, you will work in an organization that is in a learning process, where you have the opportunity to influence development.

As a new physiotherapist in our organization, you will receive a thorough introduction and professional supervision from an experienced colleague. Within the framework of your employment, there is also the opportunity to participate in development and change work. We also offer team supervision, regular professional meetings, wellness benefits, and free access to the gym.

About the Job

We offer meaningful work with complex and developmental patient cases. We work in interdisciplinary teams, and you will work both independently and together with competent professional and team colleagues. You will have the opportunity to work from a life perspective and serve as a support for our patients and their networks.

The daily work is varied. Tasks include neurological, motor, and orthopedic assessments. You will also participate in investigative work, counseling, support measures, and supervision for families and networks, as well as fitting and follow-up of certain assistive devices. You will also conduct CPUP measurements and review 24-hour positioning. The work is flexible, and you largely plan your own schedule. Work takes place in the Habilitation Center's facilities but also in the patient's immediate environment, such as school, home, and day activities. There is an opportunity to perform some administrative tasks remotely by agreement. Regular working hours are weekdays 8:00–16:30, and flexible working hours apply.

About You

You are a licensed physiotherapist or occupational therapist. We welcome newly graduated colleagues. You base your work on the patient's needs and involve the patient and their network in the work. You work efficiently with others and see teamwork as an asset to your profession.

You naturally take personal responsibility for your work, have the ability to prioritize tasks, and can quickly adapt to changed circumstances. You plan your calendar independently based on a holistic view of the operations and collaboration with colleagues.

You also have an interest in creating new ways of working together with others and see digital solutions as natural opportunities in your work.

To thrive and succeed in working with us, you must also be unpretentious both in absorbing knowledge and experience and in sharing your knowledge and experiences with colleagues.
