Vacant job

The Health and Medical Care Organization within the Care and Elderly Affairs Department consists of approximately 300 employees distributed across ten health and medical care teams. Do you want to make a difference? We are now looking for you who are a licensed physiotherapist and a licensed occupational therapist seeking a fun, developmental, and meaningful job. We look forward to getting to know you and learning about your commitment, competence, thoughts, and ideas so that together we can provide our patients with the best possible care, now and in the future.

You will work in a team-based and cross-professional manner together with other physiotherapists and occupational therapists, as well as nurses, pharmacists, nursing assistants, and rehabilitation assistants.

Here, you will have the opportunity to grow in your role, whether you are a recent graduate looking for your first job as a licensed professional or if you have some experience in the profession.

We are currently looking for physiotherapists and occupational therapists for our short-term care unit at Sörmarksgatan 207. The unit receives patients from across the municipality, including those needing rehabilitation after hospital stays, patients with complex care needs, and patients in the end-of-life phase. Here, you will find varied and developmental work with wonderful colleagues.

With the patient's best interest in focus, you work clinically, investigating, assessing, and implementing physiotherapeutic and occupational therapeutic interventions. As a licensed practitioner, you are responsible for documenting the interventions that are planned, carried out, and evaluated. You are also responsible for prescribing and fitting assistive devices. Guiding nursing staff in various care situations, such as during transfers and when handling assistive devices, is also part of the clinical assignment.

Creating and maintaining good relationships is an important part of the assignment, and you will collaborate closely with your team, as well as the department's social workers, managers, and nursing staff.

Dialogue with relatives and with staff at health centers and hospitals is also a natural part of your workday.

We work Monday to Friday. Here, you have flexibility in your day as you, based on the operational needs and in dialogue with your colleagues, plan and structure your workday to a large extent yourself. Like us, you value well-being and participation for our patients, and you have good opportunities to follow the results of your patients' rehabilitation over time in their home environment.

When you start your employment, you will receive an individually adapted introduction that gives you good prerequisites and a secure and stable start to your new assignment. We also offer contact with a mentor after you have completed your introduction, as we know that the opportunity to turn to an experienced and knowledgeable physiotherapist or occupational therapist for advice and support is appreciated, especially for those who are completely new to the professional role.

You are a licensed physiotherapist or occupational therapist with the eligibility to work within Swedish health care.

Experience working as a physiotherapist or occupational therapist is meritorious, as is work within municipal home care.

Documented training in transfer techniques (manual transfers and transfers with patient lifts) is also meritorious, as is supervision training and experience in educating nursing staff.

Your approach is coaching and pedagogical, and you have a good manner of dealing with people. Our team-based way of working also requires that you are engaged, flexible, responsible, and good at collaborating.

Your ability to plan, structure, and prioritize your work gives you good prerequisites for succeeding in your assignment and contributes to creating an efficient operation. You are accustomed to working with IT-based journal systems and have the ability to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing. A Class B driver's license is required for all positions. Before an offer of employment, you must provide an extract from the police's criminal record register.
