We are now welcoming a physiotherapist to the Adult Psychiatry Clinic on Fosievägen in Malmö.

In this role, you will work with physiotherapeutic assessments, both as a basis for the team's collective assessments and as a foundation for continued treatment. The treatment work may, for example, consist of basic body awareness and other physiotherapeutic interventions.

Currently, the organization is undergoing a change process where the clinic is being divided into two units, with the goal of creating a more overview-friendly and sustainable way of working. You will be involved in this development work while working towards the entire clinic.
