About the workplace

We are a team of 22 physiotherapists working across the 19 care homes and the short-stay unit within the Care and Social Services Administration.

What we offer

We offer you a varied, responsible, and stimulating job with opportunities for personal development. The workplace is smoke-free and health-conscious. As an employee, you receive an annual wellness allowance of 3,000 SEK.

Job responsibilities

As a physiotherapist here, you share the overall responsibility for rehabilitation with the occupational therapist. You are responsible for assessment, training, evaluation, and follow-up regarding the musculoskeletal system and respiratory function. You also handle the assessment, fitting, and follow-up of technical aids based on the physiotherapist's prescription rights. You set goals for physiotherapeutic interventions together with the individual and the team, with the aim of enabling the individual to live as independent a life as possible. We work with quality registers such as Senior Alert and BPSD.

The role also involves informing, instructing, and supervising staff and residents regarding rehabilitative and preventive measures.

The position will be combined with the Resource Team, meaning you will be based at one of the smaller care homes where you will have the opportunity to support other colleagues with targeted interventions.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed physiotherapist with good knowledge of current legislation, such as the Health and Medical Services Act (HSL) and the Social Services Act (SoL). You must have good computer skills and experience with documentation.

Previous experience working in municipal primary care is meritorious. It is considered a bonus to have good knowledge of Lifecare and to be confident in the prescription process.

A valid B-class driver's license is required.

Your personal qualities are important to us

We need someone with a genuine interest in working with people, meeting each individual based on their needs and wishes. You should be self-assured and comfortable working independently and supervising others.

Furthermore, you are flexible and solution-focused. You are the one who always sees the team as an asset and contributes to its success.
