Duties As an occupational therapist at the Neuropsychiatry Clinic, you work in an interdisciplinary team with assessment and treatment of patients with neuropsychiatric functional impairments, particularly ADHD. The work is varied and includes both individual interventions and group treatment. You work with activation, daily structure, time management, and other strategies to facilitate the patient's daily life. An important part is identifying activity goals together with the patient and finding functional, compensatory strategies. The work also includes psychoeducation and activity capacity assessments. You have a central role in the clinic's group treatments and collaborate closely with physicians, psychologists, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation coordinators, and other professionals. You also work with vocational rehabilitation and support patients in the transition from sick leave to work or studies.

Qualifications We are looking for someone with an occupational therapy degree and preferably with experience in psychiatric work. Experience with vocational rehabilitation and collaboration with, for example, the Swedish Employment Agency or Swedish Social Insurance Agency is meritorious. You find it easy to build trusting relationships and motivate patients toward change and participation.
