Description Would you like a job that truly makes a difference? We are now recruiting an occupational therapist to our team within ordinary housing. Here you will have the opportunity to work with early rehabilitation, person-centered care, and contribute to a safe and secure discharge from inpatient care. You will become part of an engaged team with occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses, and care staff. Together we work closely with care recipients with a focus on collaboration and a holistic approach. How do we support you? We offer a comprehensive introduction tailored to your needs as a new employee. You will have access to mentors who serve as both educators and sounding boards, close supervision at the office, and continuous professional development that strengthens you in your professional role. Work Tasks As an occupational therapist in home rehabilitation and assistive device assessment, you will meet Karlstad residents aged seven and up who live in their own homes. You work preventively and functionally to strengthen people's physical abilities and help them live as independently and actively as possible. Our focus is early rehabilitation, person-centered care, and a safe and secure discharge from inpatient care. In your work, you will conduct physical function training with care recipients or instruct others on how to perform it. You are also responsible for prescribing assistive devices and assessing what adaptations or changes in the home environment may be needed. You collaborate closely with occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses, and care staff, and contribute guidance and advice to care recipients, family members, and other professions. The role is independent and provides good opportunities to plan and influence your workday. Qualifications You are a licensed occupational therapist. It is a merit if you have experience from municipal and/or regional operations. You are stimulated by meeting people and always provide professional treatment according to our values. Since most of your work time is spent in care recipients' homes, you are independent, communicate easily, are flexible, and collaboration-oriented. The role requires that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language both spoken and written. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. Before employment, we request an extract from the criminal record register. The work involves lifting, so a valid driver's license (category B) and good physical health are required. Recruiting is ongoing, which means the position may be filled before the application deadline. We therefore welcome you to submit your application as soon as possible.
