Vacant job

We are looking for an occupational therapist to join our team, as one of our occupational therapists is moving on to other assignments.

The General Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic in Hallsberg is tasked with assessing, investigating, treating, and rehabilitating patients who need specialist psychiatric interventions. We are located in the same premises as primary care in Hallsberg. The catchment area includes Hallsberg, Kumla, and Askersund, with a combined population of approximately 48,000 inhabitants. We are a unit characterized by great commitment, extensive knowledge, and experience. The clinic consists of approximately 30 employees; doctors, psychologists, care assistants, occupational therapists, social workers, nurses, psychotherapists, medical care administrators, care coordinators, and unit manager.

The clinic offers various treatment methods, and we provide interventions both individually and in groups. We are divided into cross-professional treatment teams, and we work evidence-based in accordance with national guidelines. The breadth of the work makes the days varied and eventful. We continuously drive development issues to be able to offer our patients a good reception and efficient, patient-safe care. This means that as an employee, you are expected to take an active part in development work. We also work with supervision of students and new colleagues. If this sounds interesting and you are a person with a great interest in psychiatry, this could be an opportunity for you to develop further, both as a person and within your profession.

The job responsibilities include, among other things, independently investigating and assessing the need for occupational therapy for preventive, treatment, rehabilitation, and habilitation purposes, helping patients with the fitting and training of cognitive aids, as well as following up on patients' well-being after inpatient care, performing suicide risk assessments, and initiating and conducting SIP (Interagency Support Plan) meetings. You are also part of our team that meets patients who are on sick leave or have/wish to apply for activity compensation, or patients who are on sick leave. Collaboration with care neighbors, other operations, and cooperation with various authorities such as the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) and the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) is also part of the assignment.

You are an important collaboration partner to the other staff at the clinic and contribute with your specific competence at treatment conferences and in collaboration on patient cases. With us, you are offered a varied and independent work with a high degree of participation and responsibility. This at a clinic with good atmosphere and a well-cohesive work group.
