Are you an occupational therapist?
Do you love the outdoors, forests and mountains, or is it the sparsely populated countryside that appeals to you?
Fjällhälsan is a private health center operated on a non-profit basis by a cooperative owned by the community. The health center is located in Hede, approximately 2 miles from Vemdalen and about 6 miles from Funäsdalen, and we have gathered many areas of expertise under one roof including child health clinics, maternity clinics, physical therapy, psychosocial services, and more. We also have our own lab and X-ray facilities. Smaller branches are located in Vemdalen village and Lillhärdal, and during the winter season we have ski patrol doctors at Björnrike, Tänndalen, and Ramundberget. The nearest hospital is 15 miles away in Östersund, so we handle many acute cases that would normally go to emergency departments, and orthopedic injuries make up a large part of our work during winter. We are a strong and competent team of approximately 35 employees with many years of experience in primary care. Together we make a difference for our primary service area of about 3,300 people, which increases tenfold during the winter season!
Who are you?
You are an occupational therapist with several years of experience and are inspired by mountain scenery, skiing, hunting, fishing, mountain hiking, or snowmobiling in a wonderful environment. The occupational therapist role at Fjällhälsan is broader than what is typically found at a health center in primary care, as we have long distances to specialist services.
Your work tasks will be varied and will consist of activity assessments, assistive device evaluation/prescription/fitting/follow-up, cognitive assessments/follow-ups, home follow-ups after hospital stays, energy conservation interventions, and certification writing.
The work is both independent, meaning you will make your own assessments and decisions, while also being part of a team. Experience from primary care/health center is advantageous.
Interventions are based on the individual and are person-centered and can be carried out at the health center, in the person's home, or in another relevant environment for the person. For this position, a Class B driver's license is therefore required.
What do we offer?
An exciting job in an extraordinary environment
A positive and developmental workplace with clear patient focus
Varied work in a central role
Being part of a motivated and competent team
Our organization is flat and operates through employee commitment and participation, which results in short decision-making processes.
We look forward to your application! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
