Here there is a dedicated rehabilitation team that works closely with the children and the staff members who are around them every day.

Your Role in the Team As an occupational therapist at Bräcke diakoni in Gothenburg, you work primarily with the children at Östergården. Here, small changes can make a big difference and the work sometimes needs to develop over time. Interventions are tailored to the children's needs and can involve assistive devices, special adaptations, and positioning. You plan and follow up on your work independently and have considerable freedom to influence how it is organized. At the same time, you work closely with the residential staff, where supervision and your occupational therapy perspective are important parts of ensuring that interventions work in daily life. At Bräcke Östergården At Östergården, there are many different areas of expertise around the children. Residential staff and support educators know them well, while the rehabilitation team contributes physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, physicians, nurses, and dietitians. Together, there are good opportunities to follow the children over time and find solutions that work in their everyday lives. Beyond the close team at Östergården, you will also be part of a larger context within Bräcke diakoni. The facilities you work in are located together in Bräcke Park on Hisingen, and there are opportunities for collegial networks and experience sharing within the organization. We are an idea-driven foundation where employees' knowledge and ideas are encouraged to influence how our operations develop. Who We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who is a licensed occupational therapist and who enjoys meeting people with different needs and in different stages of life. You thrive in an environment where multiple professions and operations are close together, where you can contribute your knowledge but also gain new perspectives in return. This role suits you if you appreciate the freedom to shape your own assignment, build relationships between operations, and be a resource in multiple areas. Experience with disabilities, assistive devices, or special adaptations is a merit. We Welcome Your Application!
