The tasks include assessment and treatment of patients with motor and/or intellectual disabilities. Your work involves mapping and assessing functional ability.

The position is located in the RN (motor disability) team, which consists of several different professions where work is carried out in close collaboration. Our target group is children and adults with persistent motor disabilities as well as intellectual disabilities. We work together based on the individual's needs to promote independence and quality of life.

An important part of the work is collaboration with other authorities and healthcare providers, as well as jointly managing group activities with the team. Since the operations continuously work with methodological and development issues, you are expected to actively participate in this work.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability. We are looking for you who have a good ability to work independently as well as the ability to collaborate with other professions and care partners.
