The unit specializes in intellectual disabilities, mobility impairments, and autism. We create conditions for patients to function optimally in their daily lives. The challenge here lies in the breadth of each patient's individual needs, offering opportunities for broad experience and professional and personal development.
You will be part of a pleasant work environment with good working conditions. We are located in large, bright facilities centrally situated at Brommaplan. We work in interprofessional teams consisting of a social worker, physiotherapist, psychologist, special education teacher, and speech-language pathologist, collaborating to provide services to patients individually and in groups. We serve people living in the districts of Norra Innerstaden, Kungsholmen, Bromma, Hässelby-Vällingby, and Ekerö municipality.
Work Tasks:
The work tasks consist of a broad spectrum of occupational therapy interventions for patients with intellectual disabilities, autism, and mobility impairments. Your role includes sharing knowledge with parents and networks about support for patients to manage their daily activities. The work includes functional assessments, mapping, establishing care plans, prescribing and monitoring assistive devices including high-tech devices in the area of cognitive support, and providing advice and support on housing adaptations. Work is conducted both individually with patients/networks and in groups. Our patients often have complex needs requiring collaboration, not only within the team but with care neighbors, municipal services, and other authorities. Work tasks are varied and require flexibility.
