Your workplace

We are looking for a new employee for the occupational therapy clinic in Sunne or Forshaga. Physiotherapists also work here, and there is support from healthcare administrators and rehabilitation assistants. The atmosphere in the team is open, and questions are discussed between new and more experienced colleagues. The clinic is located adjacent to the health center and its professionals.

Leadership is based on developmental and trust-based leadership so that you as an individual and the organization can develop in the best possible way. As an employee, this gives you greater opportunities for influence, as well as more freedom and responsibility in your work.

Primary Care Rehabilitation North is located in Sunne, Munkfors, Hagfors, Torsby, and Likenäs. The Occupational Therapy Clinic in Forshaga belongs to Primary Care Rehabilitation South. Within the entire Primary Care Rehabilitation, a total of approximately 15 occupational therapists work at various clinics in the county, holding regular network meetings to exchange experiences and develop operations. Core values are important to us, and we collaborate with other units to offer the best care for patients. We are constantly working on improvements, and recent focus has been on digitalization and accessibility.

As an employer, we believe it is important to give you the opportunity to develop and thrive with us. Therefore, we offer, among other things, a health-promoting workplace and professional development. The health-promoting workplace is marked by, for example, scheduling one hour per week for personal physical activity and offering a wellness allowance of 3,000 SEK.

Primary Care Rehabilitation also invests in professional development for occupational therapists, including the introduction of a career development model. Using the professional development plan as a starting point, we plan your continued career with us together.

The temporary position is for at least 6 months, with good opportunities for extension.
