Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want to work in an organization where development, variety, and job satisfaction are at the center? Are you stimulated by close collaboration with other professions and do you have a genuine interest in putting the patient at the center? Then you could be our future colleague!

We are facing an exciting development where we take over an existing geriatric unit while simultaneously expanding our mission at SUS Hospital at Home. We welcome two new colleagues, one permanent position and one parental leave substitute for at least one year.

Our area of operation (VO) for acute care and internal medicine in Malmö has its own Rehabilitation Unit together with Lund. This includes occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and social workers. In total, we are 50 people. In Malmö, twelve occupational therapists, twelve physiotherapists, and four social workers work.

We staff three internal medicine wards, the geriatric ward, the emergency department, the Acute Care Ward (AVA), the Clinical Teaching Department (KUA), and SUS Hospital at Home (SSH), which offers acute care at home.

We are a large and broad operation under constant development where you as an occupational therapist have an established role and in-demand competence in the interprofessional team. Together, we strive to give the patient the best possible care.

For us, competence development is an important part of the work, and we believe that continuous learning creates the prerequisites for long-term and rewarding work.

We have team leaders for each profession who act as knowledge support in clinical work and create opportunities for individual development.

WORK ASSIGNMENTS

In the role of occupational therapist, you contribute your professional competence in assessment and continued rehabilitative interventions and measures. We actively work for person-centered care and collaborate with the municipality and primary care to ensure safe returns home for our patients.

Your work is characterized by personal responsibility, participation, and teamwork. You work in close collaboration with physiotherapists, and together you have important functions in the interprofessional team work regarding the patient.

Throughout our entire area of operation, you will meet the multi-morbid patient with a wide variety of disease conditions and diagnoses, including heart and lung diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, infections, and cognitive impairments. On our geriatric ward, half of the care beds are for the ortho-geriatric patient. In the emergency department with associated acute care wards, your occupational therapy assessment is important as decision support for the physician regarding whether the patient should go home or be admitted. In SSH, the patient is treated at home instead of being hospitalized. The patient is registered in inpatient care during the treatment period. For you as an occupational therapist, this means occupational therapy interventions both in the hospital environment and in the patient's home.

We are highly committed to supervising students, primarily at our KUA but also on our other wards. We welcome you if you share our interest in providing good supervision to future colleagues.

We strive for a work environment where every employee is active in their own learning and has a desire to contribute to moving the operation forward. We work to constantly get better and value initiative and new thinking. Here we offer good opportunities for competence development, through both internal and external training, and you have the opportunity to develop within different areas of the operation. As a new employee, you will receive an individually adapted introduction to our operations and mentorship from an experienced colleague according to your needs.

Working hours are during the day, Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 16:00, and every seventh Saturday from 07:30 to 14:20, with a day off the following week.

QUALIFICATIONS

We welcome you who are a licensed occupational therapist with the eligibility to work within Swedish healthcare and have Swedish language skills at least at level C1. If you have completed supervisor training, this is merit-based, as is experience working in a hospital with the elderly multi-morbid patient.

Your personal qualities are of great importance for the position, and we are looking for you who have a good ability to collaborate, communicate, and promote a good work environment. To succeed in the role, you have good empathy skills and can work both independently and in a team, as well as have an interest in supervising students.

You have a rehabilitative mindset and can plan and prioritize while having the ability to quickly adapt to the operation's needs for the day. It is important to be able to collaborate with different professional professions and have a holistic view with the patient at the center. You are responsible and have a drive to develop both yourself and the operation. We are keen to find the right person and place great emphasis on personal suitability.

In this recruitment, we work with ongoing selection. Warmly welcome your application!
