About the Job

Your tasks are to assess and treat patients of all ages. Common conditions among patients you meet as an occupational therapist are: reduced hand function, pain, neurology, cognitive impairment, and mental ill health. The work also includes prescribing assistive devices and certificates for housing adaptations. Together with the patient, a personal rehabilitation plan is drawn up.

The work is located at the clinic, digitally, and via home visits. Patient treatment takes place both individually and in groups.

The work involves close cooperation with other professions, both at your own clinic and with other collaborating partners. You and your colleagues, together with the manager, are responsible for the development of the operations in a continuous improvement process.

About You

You are a licensed occupational therapist. If you have previous experience in the profession and primary care, it is an advantage, but we also welcome you if you are newly graduated. Here you are allowed to be new, and you will have an occupational therapist colleague as a mentor.

We are looking for someone who is sensitive, has good communication skills, and can identify individuals' unique needs as you meet many different people. In addition, you see collaboration with colleagues and other partners as a natural and important part of the work, which you perform with commitment and professionalism. You can plan your work in an efficient and organized manner based on the operations' goals. Since the workload varies and unexpected events may occur, we see that you are flexible and independent.

You place great value on good treatment and always strive to treat customers, patients, and colleagues with respect and care. We also see that you live up to Närhälsan's core values: Reliable, Caring, and Innovative.

About the Recruitment Process

Selection takes place in two steps. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who invite candidates to a telephone interview. Thereafter, the recruiting manager makes a second selection of the applicants and invites them to an interview at the clinic.

We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe as concrete situations as possible and try to avoid generalized answers – this so that we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the result was.
