Physiotherapist

Strömstads kommun · Full-time

Västra Hamngatan 120, Strömstad, Sweden

Strömstads kommun is a small and close-knit organization where everyone is important and works together to deliver the best possible service. Within the Social Services Department, we work together so that people can live independent, secure, and meaningful lives based on their own conditions. Every day we create security, quality of life, and service for those we serve. The Social Services Department is in an important phase of development. We face major changes related to the new Social Services Act, the transition to Good and Close Care, and growing demand for support, care, and services. To succeed, we need to develop our working methods, use our resources wisely, and at the same time maintain quality, legal certainty, and trust. 1 position(s). DUTIES Maybe you already have a job you're quite happy with. Maybe it's time for something new, but then it should also be worth changing. With us, you get a physiotherapy job where you come close to both patients and everyday life. You meet people where life actually happens—in their homes, in special housing facilities, and in short-term care units. No two days are alike, and you have great freedom to plan and influence your work based on the patient's needs. As a physiotherapist in our municipal health and medical care, you work with, among other things: • Assessment, training, and treatment based on the individual's conditions and goals • Rehabilitation with a focus on activity, participation, and independence • Testing and prescribing assistive devices • Guidance and delegation to nursing staff • Close collaboration with occupational therapists, nurses, nursing staff, and other professionals • Finding solutions that work in people's real everyday lives The great thing about municipal rehabilitation is precisely the variety. One day you can work with rehabilitation after a hospital stay, the next day support someone in regaining confidence in their daily life or guide staff on how a patient can best manage more independently. You simply get to use all of your physiotherapy expertise—not just part of it. And then there's the work environment. We are located in a fantastic archipelago setting on the west coast, close to the sea. Here you have the opportunity to combine work that makes a difference with a daily life where there is actually room to enjoy yourself. We believe in flexibility and trust. You have the freedom to plan your work and the opportunity to influence how you structure your day. For us, wellness is more than a word—we offer, among other things, 2,500 kr in wellness benefits and flexible working hours. QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for you who are a licensed physiotherapist and who want to help develop rehabilitation in our municipality. For this position, you must: • Be a licensed physiotherapist • Have good computer skills • Have a B driver's license for a manual transmission vehicle • Have a strong command of Swedish in both speech and writing You do not need to have previous experience in municipal health and medical care. We welcome you if you are curious and confident in your profession and want to use your expertise to make a difference in people's everyday lives. As a person, you are independent and responsible, while also enjoying collaboration and building good relationships. You easily adapt when the day doesn't go as planned and can prioritize when several things happen at the same time. We also believe you are someone who likes to find solutions rather than problems. You see opportunities, dare to think new thoughts, and meet both patients and colleagues with engagement and respect. Experience from municipal health and medical care, rehabilitation, or similar is an advantage, but it is not a requirement. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. Maybe it's time to try something new?
