Profile
You are a licensed occupational therapist. Perhaps you already have experience working with neurology and understand how meaningful it is to help people find new paths when life has taken an unexpected turn. That's a plus – but most importantly, you're curious, engaged, and want to develop together with us.
The Crime Scene
A neuroteam where collaboration is real. Here we share knowledge, laugh together, and help each other when needed. We don't believe in sitting at a desk all day – with us, you'll meet people where life happens: at home, in their immediate surroundings, and in everyday life.
We offer a workplace with highly competent, positive, and driven colleagues who together create conditions to improve our patients' quality of life. All your future team colleagues have many years of experience working in neuroteams.
Rehab Västra encompasses four clinics in the western part of Stockholm; Bromma, Kista, Spånga, and Ekerö. Our mission is primary care rehabilitation within the Healthcare Choice system, which includes clinic work, home visits, assistive device trials, and team-based home rehabilitation.
The operations include dietitians, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and receptionists. Our clinic in Spånga also has the additional assignment of operating a neuroteam with a speech-language pathologist, social worker, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. The mission is to provide rehabilitation for people newly diagnosed with stroke and people with other acquired neurological injuries or diseases. The team's catchment area is all of western Stockholm.
Job Responsibilities:
With us, you'll work in a team with a physiotherapist/physical therapist, speech-language pathologist, and social worker. Rehabilitation takes place primarily in the patient's home and immediate surroundings, but also at the clinic for individual treatment and/or group sessions.
The target group consists of patients newly or recurrently diagnosed with stroke and patients with other acquired brain injuries or neurological diseases assessed within neurology clinics' inpatient or outpatient care. Services are provided in close collaboration with the patient's family members and other care providers. Job responsibilities include assessment and treatment as well as assistive device trials.
Employment:
Permanent employment. Full-time 100%. A trial period may apply.
Personal Qualities
We place great emphasis on personal suitability, which means you:
Enjoy working in a team and find it easy to collaborate across professional boundaries
Are responsible and combine independent work with strong collaboration skills
Are flexible, have good communication abilities
Are attentive, stress-resilient, and service-oriented
Have a positive attitude toward development and renewal of work
When working in the patient's home, you must be comfortable in environments with pets and not be sensitive to smoke odors.
