Would you like to be part of creating quality of life, security, and providing excellent and safe care to our patients? We are now looking for a new colleague to join our wonderful team!
Your Assignment
You will assess individuals' activity capacity, body function, and environmental factors. By applying interventions such as activity training, assistive device prescription, and environmental adaptation, you will support and promote individuals' ability to be active, engaged, and independent. You will also mentor and educate care staff and collaborate with other team members, including through care planning and team meetings, to develop person-centered health plans.
Description of the Workplace
We provide rehabilitation services for short-term care, care and residential facilities, and home healthcare in Söderhamns Municipality. The unit has seven physical therapists, eight occupational therapists, three rehabilitation assistants, six nursing assistants in Safe Discharge and IHR (intensive home rehabilitation), and one unit manager. We are co-located, which gives us opportunities to develop together. We work patient-centered in teams alongside nurses, care staff, unit managers, benefits officers, and doctors when needed.
What We Offer You as a New Team Member
• A good work environment with positive colleagues.
• Introduction of a mentor who will guide you in daily work.
• Professional development through internal and external training.
• Opportunity for further development in the Welfare sector.
• Help with housing arrangements if needed.
We Are Looking for You
You are a licensed occupational therapist. Experience working in home healthcare is a merit. A valid driver's license is a requirement for the position.
Your role requires high levels of independence and responsibility, as you will be responsible for planning and organizing your own work. You need to take initiative, prioritize, and make decisions within your professional scope. Since we work in teams, it is important that you have good collaboration skills, are solution-focused, and keep patient engagement in focus. It is also important to have empathy and good conduct in all situations. You need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances, see the big picture, and consider the broader perspective. As a person, you are positive and motivated to be part of the organization's continued development.
Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
