The Care and Elderly Services' health and medical care organization consists of approximately 300 employees distributed across ten health and medical care teams. Do you want to make a difference? We are now looking for you—a licensed physical therapist and licensed occupational therapist—who is seeking a fun, developmental, and meaningful job. We look forward to getting to know you and learning about your commitment, expertise, and ideas so that together we can provide our patients with the best possible care, now and in the future.
About the Operation
You work in a team-based and multidisciplinary manner alongside other physical therapists and occupational therapists as well as nurses, pharmacists, nursing assistants, and rehabilitation assistants.
With us, you have the opportunity to grow in your role, whether you are newly graduated and seeking your first job as a licensed professional or you have been working in the profession for a while.
Right now we are looking for physical therapists and an occupational therapist for our short-term care unit at Sörmarksgatan 207. The unit receives patients from across the municipality with needs including rehabilitation after hospital stays, complex care needs, and patients in their final stages of life. With us, you get varied and developmental work with wonderful colleagues.
Job Responsibilities
With the patient's best interests in focus, you work clinically and conduct assessments, evaluations, and provide physical therapy/occupational therapy interventions. As a licensed professional, you are responsible for documenting the interventions that are planned, implemented, and evaluated. You also have responsibility for prescribing and fitting assistive devices. It is also within the scope of the clinical assignment to guide nursing care staff in various care situations, such as during patient transfers and when handling assistive devices.
Creating and maintaining good relationships is an important part of the assignment, and you work closely with your team and with the administration's social workers, managers, and nursing care staff.
Dialogue with family members and with staff at health centers and hospitals is also a natural part of your workday.
We work Monday through Friday. With us, you have flexibility in your day as you, based on the operation's needs and in dialogue with your colleagues, plan and structure your workday to a large extent yourself. Like us, you value the well-being and self-determination of our patients, and you have good opportunities to follow the results of your patients' rehabilitation over time in their home environment.
When you start your employment, you will receive an individually tailored introduction that provides you with good conditions and a safe and stable start in your new role. We also offer mentor contact once you have completed your introduction, as we know that the opportunity to turn to an experienced and knowledgeable physical therapist/occupational therapist for advice and support is valued, especially for those new to the professional role.
Qualifications
You are a licensed physical therapist/occupational therapist with authorization to practice within Swedish health and medical care.
Experience working as a physical therapist/occupational therapist is meritorious, as is experience within municipal home health care.
Documented training in transfer techniques (manual transfers and transfers with patient lifts) is also meritorious, as are instructor training and experience in training nursing care staff.
Your approach is coaching and pedagogical, and you have good interpersonal skills. Our team-based work method also requires you to be committed, flexible, responsible, and skilled at collaboration.
Your ability to plan, structure, and prioritize your work gives you good conditions to succeed in your assignment and contributes to creating an efficient operation. You are experienced in working with IT-based medical record systems and you have the ability to express yourself well in Swedish, both verbally and in writing. A valid driver's license (category B) is required for all positions. Before an employment offer, you must provide a copy of the police's criminal record extract.
