Occupational Therapist for Specialized Elderly Housing in Eskilstuna

There is a lot happening in our unit right now as we develop our working methods. Here, as a trained occupational therapist, you get the chance to work with a competent and inclusive team with great opportunities for professional development. We think outside the box and focus on person-centered care and teamwork. We are looking for two occupational therapists for our specialized elderly housing facilities.

Through teamwork, you and your colleagues work alongside the staff at our housing facilities. To allow you to focus on your work as an occupational therapist, you are supported by our rehabilitation assistants with administration, prescribed training, and assistive devices. At our workplace, you will receive a thorough introduction, and if you are a recent graduate, you will be offered a mentor. We are approximately 30 employees who enjoy our jobs and each other's company. The office is located approximately two kilometers from the central station. We believe it is important to support you as an employee by offering the possibility of remote work, either from home or during commutes, in addition to flexible hours.

Job Responsibilities

As an occupational therapist, you work to strengthen people's independence in daily life. You get to know the individuals we serve and follow their development over time. We are well-regarded at our housing facilities, with many requesting our support. In this role, you collaborate closely with physiotherapists, both in pairs and in smaller teams. You also collaborate with nurses, care staff, and other professions. The role includes supervising students during their practice-based education (VFU). You plan your own workday and have the opportunity to influence and develop our work. If you join us, we would appreciate your contribution to the development of areas such as digitalization and collaboration.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a B driver's license and are a trained occupational therapist with Swedish licensure, or who will complete your education during the current semester. As a person, you are empathetic, flexible, and solution-focused. It is an advantage if you have worked with this target group before, but it is not a requirement. Through your ability to collaborate with others, we develop daily life for the individuals we serve together. You see opportunities and focus on what leads to good holistic solutions, both for the individual and for our operations.

We welcome you to apply for a varied and meaningful job where you can develop your skills as an occupational therapist.
