About Lillängen

Lillängen is a modern and homely residence in Nacka for the elderly with somatic or cognitive illnesses. We are close to both the city and green areas, and there are good transport links here. We offer individually adapted care with heart, integrity, and choice.

About the role

You work in a team together with physiotherapists, nurses, and care staff, and your task is to provide quality of life. You see every individual and have the ability to understand what each person needs.

In the role of occupational therapist, you find, together with the residents, the best ways to use their own abilities in everyday life. You support and motivate people to develop, maintain, or compensate for their physical, cognitive, and social abilities. This often involves:

• being an important part of the team around each resident
• making assessments and adapting the everyday environment
• testing and prescribing physical and cognitive aids
• supervising your colleagues in rehabilitative efforts, approaches, transfer techniques, etc.
• having contact with the residents' relatives
