About the Job

Your tasks include assessment, treatment, and training. You will meet patients of all ages with neurological injuries and diseases, both individually and in groups. The Neuro Care Team consists of four physiotherapists, two occupational therapists, and two speech and language therapists. Care meetings take place both at the clinic and digitally. Prescription of assistive devices is included, and home visits are made based on the patient's needs.

The target group consists of patients who are newly or recurrently affected by stroke, as well as patients with other acquired brain injuries or neurological diseases who are assessed to need rehabilitation with the specific competence of the neuro care team. The goal is, among other things, to offer an unbroken care chain after hospital stays. Here you will be met with collegial support and a work environment permeated by collaboration and engagement. As a new employee, you will receive an introduction and a supervisor.
