The clinic provides community care in a small-scale format by meeting residents' needs for basic internal medicine specialist care, specialized palliative care, advanced home care (AH), qualified rehabilitation services, and community care teams (NVT).

Our units are located in both Sala and Västerås. As an employee with us, you are a meaningful and important part of the team consisting of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and social workers.

Job responsibilities As an occupational therapist with us, you are welcomed to a pleasant workplace and a team looking forward to having you as a colleague. The work is based on the four cornerstones of palliative care – symptom control, teamwork, communication/relationships, and support for family members – to alleviate physical, psychological, social, and existential suffering. This includes, among other things, a strong focus on mutual human relationships, primarily with the patient but also with their loved ones. You and the team around the patient contribute to individually adapted care and consider the whole person when providing symptom relief. The work is stimulating and varied as it is carried out both on the care ward and as scheduled home visits. As an occupational therapist, you perform assessments, trial and prescribe assistive devices with a focus on facilitating daily activities, maintaining participation, and creating a sense of security. As the organization is transitioning to community-based and person-centered care, participation in development work is also important. Qualifications We are looking for you who are a licensed occupational therapist, preferably with professional experience. If you have previously worked with palliative care, this is a merit. If you have an interest in business development and digitalization, this is something we value. Since the work includes, among other things, scheduled home visits to patients, we therefore see that you have a driver's license (category B). As a person, you are empathetic, confident, and have the ability to make independent decisions in your work. We see that you take responsibility for your tasks by organizing and driving your work forward. You are flexible and can quickly change your approach to adapt to new circumstances when the situation requires it. You communicate clearly while being attentive to the different needs of patients and their loved ones. Because you will be working in a team, we see that you have good collaboration skills, where you relate to others in a responsive and smooth manner. This is a job for you who thrives in collaboration with others and who wants meaningful work close to patients and their loved ones. We place great importance on personal suitability. Employment terms Permanent employment. Full-time. Daytime, Monday to Friday. Driver's license (category B) required. Start date by agreement. We apply individual and differentiated salary setting.
