The Social Care Administration at Borås City is responsible for the municipality's disability services, social psychiatry, and health and medical care services for the mentioned target groups. With approximately 1000 employees and 45 managers, we work continuously to improve the quality of our services for those we serve.
About the Operations
At the Social Care Administration, you will find stimulating work with an exciting patient population. Within the unit for municipal health and medical care in Borås City, two teams work with people with disabilities and one team works with social psychiatry. Your work tasks will be directed toward patients living in group homes, service housing, and patients in ordinary housing with personal assistance.
Work Tasks
Six physical therapists work with people with disabilities at the unit. We have the time and resources to work thoroughly and with detailed focus on our patients and can develop and improve our work with our target group in focus. The Social Care Administration is a smaller administration. Short decision-making paths provide great opportunities for development of both the unit and our work in the direction we wish. Examples of projects we have initiated include training groups in gym and aquatic environments, training videos, education in transfer techniques in the facilities, and initiatives to promote increased physical activity among a sedentary target group.
Some of the diagnoses we work with are Down syndrome, Cerebral palsy, various forms of intellectual disability, and neuropsychiatric diagnoses. We also work with acquired brain injuries and degenerative neurological diagnoses such as MS, ALS, and Huntington's disease. We work with physical therapy interventions regarding musculoskeletal problems that may arise from the patient's underlying condition, but we also assess, investigate, and treat other conditions our patients suffer from.
Our patient group requires a creative mind where you will get to challenge your conventional physical therapy knowledge and working methods. Therefore, it is important that you as an applicant dare to think outside the box and dare to be both playful and inventive in your solutions.
Qualifications
Collaboration between different professions and with various agencies in the region is extensive, which requires that you have good collaboration skills. You should enjoy working independently and taking responsibility for your time and your work, but at the same time appreciate being part of a team working toward the same goal. You should have good organizational and collaboration skills as well as a great deal of flexibility. Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.
We work Monday-Friday daytime with good opportunities for a flexible work schedule, where you take responsibility for how you organize your work in consultation with your colleagues.
