Planning takes place in close cooperation with the patient and their network. You collaborate closely with colleagues within the operation and external partners, contributing your specific expertise. The work also includes assessment, prescription, and follow-up of assistive devices. Interventions can be provided individually or in groups, as well as digitally or physically. Together with a physical therapist and speech therapist, you are also responsible for monitoring patients within the quality registers CPUP and MMCUP. You become an important part of the team's work in creating good and safe care for patients. Upon employment, you will receive introduction and supervision from experienced occupational therapy colleagues both at the unit and in the area, who provide support in daily work.

To thrive with us, you are collaborative, flexible, self-directed, and have the ability to handle situations when the pace is sometimes high.
