In Österlen, we create the conditions for a high quality of life, where Tomelilla Municipality is a place for inspiration and development. The municipality has approximately 800 employees, and we offer you excellent opportunities for professional development, involvement through trust, and the possibility to balance work and leisure.

We are currently on a development journey focused on streamlining and improving our services. Our ambition is to be leaders in leveraging the opportunities provided by digitalization. In short – we want to make life easy for everyone who lives in, works in, or visits Tomelilla Municipality.

We are now looking for a Medically Responsible for Rehabilitation (MAR) who will also work clinically as a physiotherapist or occupational therapist within our rehabilitation activities according to the Health and Medical Services Act (HSL). At our organization, development work is underway to meet current and future challenges, with a clear focus on those we serve.

At the Rehabilitation Unit, the municipality's physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation assistants work with rehabilitation as well as preventive and early interventions. The unit plays a central role in the municipality's adaptation to the new Social Services Act and collaborates closely with other units within healthcare and social care.
