Description:

In Region Kronoberg, we work to ensure that people in the region can live a safe and sustainable life. Every day we meet the people of Kronoberg in healthcare, in public transport, and in work related to the region's development. Here ideas are valued, there are great opportunities for development, and a work climate that is welcoming, open, and characterized by kindness. Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry, Rehabilitation and Habilitation! Our mission is to offer all residents of Kronoberg County specialized psychiatric care, rehabilitation, and habilitation. Care shall be provided in collaboration with other actors within and outside Region Kronoberg, with a coherent care chain and patient participation in focus. We want to create good conditions for our patients to receive the right care and treatment from the best possible expertise. The team at the Pain Unit consists of twelve employees who work together in bright, airy, and nature-close premises with access to a modern staff gym – an environment that contributes to both well-being and comfort. In the multiprofessional collaboration, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, nurses, doctors, and care administrators come together to jointly offer specialized multimodal rehabilitation with the patient's needs at the center. We are now seeking two occupational therapists with different specializations – one in a traditional role and one where the assignment, in addition to regular patient work, also includes improvement and process work. Are you interested in the latter position, you can find it here: https://recruit.visma.com/spa/public/apply?guidAssignment=3f1f8092-e570-4e16-809b-25c38b1a48a3&description=True 1 position(s). DUTIES As an occupational therapist with us, you will become an important part of an engaged team that together with the patient creates opportunities for a more meaningful and balanced everyday life. You follow the patient through the entire rehabilitation process and map their activity patterns and abilities as a natural part of the team's joint assessment. By working with daily structure, activity balance, and ergonomics, you help the patient find working methods and routines that strengthen their well-being. The role also includes giving lectures and leading groups in smaller formats, where you have the opportunity to inspire and support participants in their rehabilitation. Together with the patient and the team, you set goals for the rehabilitation period and follow them up to ensure that each step becomes meaningful and forward-directed. QUALIFICATIONS We are seeking someone who is a licensed occupational therapist with some years of experience in the profession and who wants to be part of an engaged, multiprofessional team where collaboration is an obvious foundation. You will be part of an experienced team that works from a biopsychosocial pain perspective, where you contribute particularly with a holistic view and activity focus. Together we create an environment where you quickly feel included, valued, and safe to grow in your role. We believe that you have an unpretentious approach, are kind, solution-focused, and have the patient's best interests as your guiding star. You are emotionally stable and handle stress and challenges in a constructive way, which contributes to a calm, positive, and secure work environment even when the pace is high. We also welcome your creativity and curiosity – that you dare to think new, see opportunities where others see obstacles, and willingly contribute ideas that develop both working methods and operations. Great weight is placed on personal suitability. Experience with group activities, ergonomics, and work with patients with chronic pain or psychiatric issues is a merit but not a requirement. What is most important is your commitment and your willingness to make a difference. In connection with the recruitment, we request an extract from the criminal and suspicion register.
