About this role
Are you interested in a stimulating and varied job at Samrehab's acute unit? We are currently seeking an occupational therapist to join our team! You will work in the hospital's inpatient care, where you will assess and provide treatment/training for patients in need of occupational therapy interventions.
You will conduct activity assessments, mapping each patient's resources and barriers in daily life to create the best possible conditions for each individual. You are a crucial part of the care chain, providing the best foundation for the patient. The goal is for the patient, based on their own resources, to become as independent as possible in the daily activities they need and wish to perform. Occupational therapy interventions can take place both individually and/or in groups.
You will be part of a team consisting of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and rehabilitation assistants. We also have close collaboration with other colleagues from various professions within the hospital's departments and cooperate with municipalities and primary care in the important work of providing close care. It is important to us that you receive a proper start in your workplace; we work with mentorship, and the introduction is planned and conducted based on your previous experiences, alongside experienced colleagues. Your working hours are scheduled during daytime, Monday to Friday.
About you
We are looking for a licensed occupational therapist, preferably with previous work experience in the field. We believe you are confident in your profession and have the ability to see what needs to be done, take initiative, and work in a structured manner. Your working methods are characterized by evidence and proven experience. You enjoy building new relationships based on mutual trust with both patients and colleagues. You are positive and service-oriented in your approach, viewing collaboration as a natural part of your work and your way of being. You are motivated by working towards set goals, as we at Samrehab strive for clear rehabilitation goals developed together with the patient. Previous experience in inpatient care and a strong interest in this area is an advantage. We actively work with e-health, and it is beneficial if you have an interest in developments in this field. You need to have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form, as well as good computer skills. Personal suitability is of great importance.
This recruitment will apply ongoing selection, and the position may be filled before the application deadline. We warmly welcome your application!
