Vacant job

Physiotherapist for Hjo Municipality

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. The work takes place in both home care and in special 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 for all patients, medication robots, and more.

About the Role

We now want to strengthen our tight-knit rehab team, which consists of 4 occupational therapists, 3 physiotherapists, and 2 rehab assistants. We are facing a change where we will launch a new role in our operations, MAR (Medical Responsible for Rehabilitation). There is an opportunity for you to be involved in this development.

As a physiotherapist 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 occupational therapists, nurses, rehab assistants, and care staff, creating a holistic perspective on patient care and rehabilitation. You perform physiotherapeutic assessments and treatment independently or jointly with your team. You prescribe rehabilitation measures that rehab assistants or care staff carry out. We see the working method with rehab assistants as an important puzzle piece to achieve the goals you set together with your patients. We have regular team meetings where care staff also participate. It also includes supervising and educating care staff in transfers and ergonomics.

As an employee in 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 physiotherapist and have a valid B-driver's license. You need to master the Swedish language both in 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 both colleagues and relatives and other cooperating parties. 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.
