Habiliteringsverksamheten Eskilstuna

About Us

The Habilitation Service is a specialist unit with specific knowledge about permanent disabilities and their consequences in daily life. We complement other healthcare services. Our mission is to provide habilitation and assessment interventions for children, young people, and adults with permanent disabilities such as motor impairments, multiple disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders.

We work in multiprofessional teams divided into children's, youth, and adult teams. The team includes occupational therapists, social workers, speech therapists, psychologists, physiotherapists, special educators, and doctors.

The Habilitation Service provides interventions individually and/or in groups, at our clinic or in the patient's everyday environments. Since you will be an important part of our multiprofessional teams, it is important that you enjoy working with others and believe that the best results are achieved together.

We work from a behavioral medical perspective, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and you will be offered internal training in this area.

We meet regularly in county-wide professional meetings to discuss and collaborate on profession-specific issues with our colleagues in the county. Within our operations, there is a continuous improvement process where all employees are involved.

We offer you stimulating, enjoyable, and developmental work with the opportunity to think outside the box. It is a varied and diverse job that is adapted to the patient's needs, which is a creative part of the work.

The Habilitation Clinic in Eskilstuna is located in the scenic area of Odlaren, where you can easily take a lovely forest walk during lunch.

At the Habilitation Service, you will be part of a multiprofessional team for patients aged 0–18. As a nurse, you will contribute medical knowledge and collaborate closely with pediatric neurologists and child psychiatrists.

You will manage patients with gastrostomies, providing support and advice to families and networks regarding these, as well as handling prescriptions. We also meet many patients with various eating difficulties, providing support and advice on this and monitoring growth. The nurse collaborates closely with dietitians.

Within the area of elimination, we work on independence training for incontinence and RIK/TAI, as well as the prescription of assistive devices.

As a nurse, you will spend part of your time staffing the clinic's TeleQ to provide advice and guide patients and parents.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse, preferably with specialist competence in children's and young people's health. Experience working with children is meritorious, as is knowledge of the Habilitation Service's target group. A B-class driver's license is required.
