Job Responsibilities

As an occupational therapist in the care planning team, you work with discharge planning for patients who are ready for discharge from the hospital. You gather and compile information about the patient's needs and resources to plan the continued care within the municipality in collaboration with the team's nurses and assistance officers. Together, you contribute to creating safe and secure care transitions between inpatient care, municipal care, and outpatient care.

The work involves close collaboration with the region's hospitals, primary care, and rehabilitation clinics. All planning and coordination take place digitally in Cosmic Link, where dialogue and information exchange are a natural part of daily work.

The position includes both indirect and patient-facing tasks with a focus on planning, coordination, and professional dialogue. As part of the transition to close-to-home care, you will work together with your colleagues to develop and follow up on working methods within the care planning team.

Your primary employment is as an occupational therapist within the municipality, which means patient-facing work may also occur outside the specific assignment in the care planning team. The role thus gives you a variation between planning work and clinical work close to the patient.

You will become part of a developing operation where collaboration, structure, and engagement are crucial, and where you have the opportunity to influence future working methods.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed occupational therapist. You have experience from patient-facing work as an occupational therapist within municipal primary care, inpatient care, and/or outpatient care.

You have good ability to express yourself in speech and writing. Your ability to be communicative, receptive, and solution-focused makes it easy for you to create and maintain good relationships. Having a good attitude towards people is a given for you, whether you meet patients, relatives, colleagues, or partners. You have a very good ability to collaborate and cooperate with many different actors in a trustworthy and professional manner.

You enjoy working in a team and have a consultative working style. You need to be able to independently plan, structure, and prioritize your work, being careful yet efficient. We also expect you to be engaged, show initiative, take own initiatives, and contribute to job satisfaction.

Good familiarity with working in various healthcare-related IT systems is a prerequisite for fulfilling the assignment. A Category B driver's license is required.

A certificate of good conduct (extract from the criminal record) will be requested before employment. Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis.

Salary: Monthly salary.
Employment type: Permanent position.
Duration: Permanent.
Working hours: Daytime.

During the interview, you as a candidate must provide proof of citizenship in Sweden/EU/EES or a valid work and residence permit.
