Vacant job

Do you want to join us in our development work with a focus on team-based and daily life rehabilitation approaches?

Bergs Municipality is investing in municipal rehabilitation and is therefore now looking for two driven and engaged occupational therapists to join our team. We are looking for you who are driven by varied work, are development- and solution-focused, and want to contribute to ensuring that every individual is given the opportunity for as active, independent, and participatory life as possible.

Job Responsibilities

With the investment in municipal rehabilitation, the operations are expanding with one additional occupational therapist. As an occupational therapist within municipal rehabilitation, you are part of a team centered around the individual and work according to our routines and processes. The work group currently consists of one occupational therapist, three physiotherapists, a rehabilitation assistant, and a supply manager for assistive devices focused on the operations. With the expansion, the work group will consist of three occupational therapists and three physiotherapists. Here, you work in a team together with a physiotherapist within a geographical area. The municipality is divided into three areas – North, Central, and South – where you, together with a physiotherapist, are responsible for one area.

Our patients are individuals who receive home healthcare in their own homes, LSS (Support and Service Act), personal assistance, short-term accommodation, and special housing. A large part of the work involves conducting individual activity assessments, designing and implementing rehabilitation measures, and prescribing medical technical assistive devices. The work also includes supervision and instruction for the individual, relatives, and students, as well as training staff in daily life rehabilitation and assistive device management.

In addition to working together with a physiotherapist, you collaborate with other professions such as nurses, district nurses, assistance coordinators, and unit managers. There are cars available belonging to municipal rehabilitation in the different areas, which facilitates daily work.

Qualifications

The position requires that you are a licensed occupational therapist. Experience working in municipal rehabilitation activities is advantageous. Given the many contacts the role entails, as well as our documentation requirements, your knowledge of the Swedish language must be very good (both spoken and written). A driver's license for passenger cars (Category B) is required.

Bergs Municipality is a Sami administrative municipality, and we therefore consider it advantageous if you have knowledge of the Southern Sami language and culture.

Personal Attributes

Since the work involves contact with people in different life situations, it is important that you have a positive attitude and a constructive approach. You also need to be flexible and have good planning and collaboration skills. Furthermore, you thrive working salutogenically and are skilled at seeing possibilities and solutions in your daily life. The ability to work both independently and in a team is also necessary.

What We Offer

Working in Bergs Municipality means becoming part of an organization in constant development and forward motion! Our employees are our most important resource, and we value you for your unique competence and experience.

The position is a permanent employment starting as soon as possible, according to agreement.

Does this sound interesting? The recruitment process will take place continuously during the advertising period, so do not wait too long to send your application.
