Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want a job where you can use your full occupational therapy competence and at the same time make a real difference for children, young people, and their families? At our Child and Youth Rehabilitation Clinic in Kristianstad, you will find a varied and meaningful job where no two days are alike. You will become part of an engaged interdisciplinary team that works person-centred and together creates the best conditions for children and young people with persistent disabilities.

Why our occupational therapists enjoy working here

"I get to use my full occupational therapy competence and develop every day. The work is varied, creative, and meaningful, and I have fantastic colleagues to share it with," says Eva, an occupational therapist at the clinic.

Occupational therapist Linnea adds:

"No two days are alike. Working together with children, families, and a competent team makes the job feel both inspiring and developmental."

Who do we serve?

The Child and Youth Rehabilitation Clinic serves children and young people up to the age of 17 with motor disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and/or autism, as well as their families. We work person-centred, which means that the child, young person, and family are involved throughout the entire care process.

At our clinic, we work in a team-based manner where occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers, speech therapists, special educators, leisure consultants, medical secretaries, doctors, nurses, and dietitians provide coordinated support.

We are located in newly renovated and functional premises together with the adult rehabilitation clinic, which offers great opportunities for collaboration and a secure transition for our patients. The same building also houses the Assistive Devices department as well as Vision, Hearing, and Deaf Services.

Here you have the opportunity to develop, think creatively, and follow children and young people through important parts of their lives.

Job Description

As an occupational therapist with us, you work to strengthen the child's or young person's opportunities for activity, participation, and independence in everyday life.

Your tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Assessing activity capacity and identifying needs for intervention
• Providing advice, treatment, and supervision to children, young people, and their networks
• Prescribing and testing cognitive and other medical technical assistive devices
• Participating in housing adaptations and adaptation of other environments
• Collaborating with preschools, schools, healthcare, social services, and other actors regarding the child or young person.

The work is independent, but you are never alone. We value knowledge exchange and support each other in daily work. We are looking for someone who wants to contribute both competence and commitment. You appreciate varied work, thrive in collaboration, and have the ability to plan and drive your own work. You see possibilities, are curious about developing, and enjoy meeting people in different life situations.

At our clinic, you will receive a structured introduction adapted to your previous experience and a supervisor who supports you during your first period, with the possibility of further development through a mentor. You will have regular professional meetings with strong collegial support.

Working hours are during the day, and on Mondays we work until 18:30, which is compensated by finishing at 14:30 on Fridays or alternatively having one Friday off per month. We apply flexible working hours when the work allows.

Qualifications

You must be a licensed occupational therapist with permission to practice in Swedish healthcare. Proficiency in Swedish corresponding to at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe's scale is a requirement. Additionally, you must have a valid B driving license. It is an advantage if you have experience working with children and young people, rehabilitation, cognitive support, or assistive device prescription.

We welcome both those with experience in the field and those who are curious about developing in a role where you get the opportunity to work with children and young people within rehabilitation. The most important thing is that you have a commitment to the target group and a willingness to learn and develop together with us.
