About the workplace

Do you want to help build a key function in municipal healthcare? We are now looking for a Medically Responsible Person for Rehabilitation (MAR) in a joint initiative between Orust, Strömstad, and Tanum.

Your employment will be with Orust Municipality, but the role will be carried out in close collaboration between the three municipalities. Together, we are creating a shared MAR function focused on quality, patient safety, and development within rehabilitation and assistive devices.

You will work both strategically and operationally. The role involves contact with various operations, from specialized housing to home healthcare, providing a varied and developing work environment. You will collaborate closely with managers, licensed professionals, and the Medically Responsible Nurse (MAS).

We are currently in a setup phase. This means you will play a central role in shaping the working methods, structure, and content of the function's mandate. There are great opportunities to influence, contribute to shared learning between the municipalities, and develop primary care work.

We see collaboration as a strength – by working together, we create better conditions for quality, knowledge exchange, and long-term development in our operations.

The MAR reports to the sector manager and the responsible committee according to an agreed structure and participates in relevant MAR/MAS networks.

You will also work on:

• Developing, updating, and implementing routines and guidelines
• Monitoring and analyzing operational results and proposing development initiatives
