When illness or functional impairment makes it difficult for patients to visit a health center or hospital, we are there in home care to provide compassionate healthcare directly in the patient's own home.
Home care on Gotland is a unit with drive and rapid development that meets patients' needs for care and rehabilitation in special housing and in ordinary housing. The goal of home care is good and safe care where patients feel secure, involved, and well-treated. Home care is organized by geographic areas with multiprofessional teams consisting of physical therapists / physiotherapists, district nurses / nurses, occupational therapists, rehabilitation assistants, and nursing assistants. Home care as a workplace is characterized by a good climate with high ceilings and proud employees, which is also reflected in our recurring results from employee surveys.
Since we have several physical therapists / physiotherapists in home care, there are good opportunities for collaboration, shared and individual development, as well as mentorship and internal training. We prioritize a good work environment and provide great opportunities to influence working hours and employment level. In total, we are approximately 80 employees distributed across different teams around the island, and right now we are looking for two new physiotherapy colleagues. Could it be you?
Your responsibilities
The role involves carrying out rehabilitation interventions in patients' home environments with the goal of giving each patient the conditions for increased independence and participation. The work is varied and independent, and you plan your own work days in consultation with your colleagues.
The duties include assessment, treatment, and follow-up of physiotherapy interventions within home care. Part of the work consists of guidance and instructions to care personnel in everyday rehabilitation measures. The work is performed in close collaboration with an occupational therapist where you together are responsible for a geographic area and conduct home visits. You work closely with nurses / district nurses and collaborate with care staff, as well as with other actors such as benefits officers, primary care, and inpatient care.
Who are you?
You are a physical therapist / physiotherapist with Swedish professional registration. A driver's license is required.
Since the role includes training / supervision of care staff, it is important that you have a pedagogical approach. You can also express yourself well orally and in writing in Swedish and have relevant IT skills for the position. The work requires your ability to plan your own day, prioritize tasks, make independent assessments, and document. Since we work in multiprofessional teams, it is important that you enjoy teamwork and are good at collaborating with others to achieve set goals.
We consider it a merit if you have experience with rehabilitation interventions in home care.
