Do you want to join a unit with great job satisfaction and opportunities to make an impact? We are now looking for an occupational therapist to work with patients in special housing and short-term care units.

If this appeals to you, we can offer meaningful work with varied and challenging tasks. You will also have great opportunities to influence your working day and develop alongside us. The broad rehabilitation competence of our unit is one of our major strengths, and there is a high degree of openness to internal competence utilization.

Kommunrehab is a unit that is growing and developing under the health and medical care section of Falu Municipality. The unit is responsible for rehabilitation within home healthcare, special housing, LSS (Support and Service Act for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments), and social psychiatry, as well as short-term stays. Our unit employs occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation assistants, and assistive device coordinators.

Job Responsibilities

Here, you will work with rehabilitation for patients in special housing and short-term care units. You will primarily encounter geriatric patients and treat various diagnoses. Interventions may range from ADL (Activities of Daily Living) assessments, activity training, and daily life rehabilitation to the fitting of both simple and advanced assistive devices, as well as fall prevention measures.

You will have a varied, challenging, educational, and enjoyable work environment, working in a team with physiotherapists, nurses, and care staff. Here you will find colleagues who collaborate and support you with their experience in a person-centered approach.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop rehabilitation and further strengthen existing collaborations with actors such as unit managers, care staff, nurses, primary care, and inpatient care. We work with various educational initiatives and supervision in patient cases for other professional categories.
