Occupational Therapist

About the Workplace

The Health and Medical Care Unit in Hjo consists of approximately 30 employees responsible for all healthcare and rehabilitation for the municipality's patients. Work is carried out in both home care and in specialized housing and short-term units. We are a socially oriented work group with the goal of developing and having fun at work. We actively work on development within our unit; we want to be at the forefront when it comes to digital working methods, including mobile documentation systems, digital signatures, digital locks at all patients' homes, medication robots, and more.

One of our occupational therapists is now moving on to new challenges, and we are looking for a replacement for our close-knit rehab team, which consists of 4 occupational therapists, 3 physiotherapists, and 2 rehab assistants.

About the Role

As an occupational therapist with us, you will work independently with the freedom to plan and structure your workday based on patient needs. In our team, you work closely with physiotherapists, nurses, rehab assistants, and care staff, creating a holistic perspective on patient care and rehabilitation. You perform occupational therapy assessments and treatments independently or conduct joint assessments with your team. You prescribe rehabilitative measures that rehab assistants or care staff carry out. We view the use of rehab assistants as an important piece of the puzzle to achieve the goals you set together with your patients. We hold regular team meetings where care staff also participate. The role also includes supervising and educating care staff in transfers and assistive devices.

We are facing a change where we will launch a new role in our operations, MAR (Medically Responsible for Rehabilitation). There is an opportunity for you to be involved in this development.

As an employee of Hjo Municipality, there are several benefits to take advantage of. You can read more about this and about us as an employer on Hjo.se; we recommend watching a video clip from several of our team members.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed occupational therapist and have a valid B driving license. You must master the Swedish language in both speech and writing.

As a person, you are self-reliant and independent while being sensitive to patients' needs and having the ability to collaborate with colleagues, relatives, and other partners. You have the ability to educate and delegate tasks to relevant care staff and follow up on measures. You are a warm colleague who wants to work together with us for close and high-quality care.
