About this role
Job Responsibilities
We are seeking someone interested in applying their occupational therapy knowledge in the field of functional support.
We work with individuals aged 18 and above who have congenital or acquired disabilities and reside in supported housing and services. Many of them also participate in daily activities at support centers. As an occupational therapist, you will work together with patients and staff both at the residence and in daily activities, setting goals and interventions to create maximum independence in everyday life. This involves examining and assessing needs for occupational therapy interventions, prescribing and fitting both medical and cognitive aids.
Geographically, we are based at the healthcare unit on Kultivatorgatan at Angered Torget, with a wide variety of food and restaurants and excellent public transportation connections. In the team, you will work alongside several occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and nurses serving the same residential and daily activity facilities. This ensures close and strong collegial support and collaboration, where we encourage working together. Together with the team, there are opportunities for creative, solution-oriented approaches to make a difference for our patients. You will work weekdays during daytime with flexible working hours.
We encourage specialization in areas relevant to our operations and can create opportunities for interesting career paths within the profession through a competency development plan.
Qualifications
We are seeking a licensed occupational therapist. A valid driver's license (B-license) and driving experience are required. We prefer candidates with experience in habilitation/rehabilitation work. Experience in psychiatry and/or working with stroke patients or patients with congenital/acquired brain injuries is also advantageous.
As a person, you enjoy working in teams and contributing to good collaboration with colleagues and other professionals you encounter in your work. You approach your tasks responsibly and can independently overview, prioritize, and complete your assignments.
You have an open and positive attitude with the patient's needs as the starting point for your actions. You communicate information effectively, both verbally and in writing, adapting your communication to the recipient and situation. You are adaptable, able to adjust your working methods based on changing conditions and new information, and see opportunities in changes.
In this recruitment, we will not request a personal cover letter. Instead, applicants will be asked to answer specific questions describing their competence in the requested area. This is to ensure a more inclusive recruitment process and an efficient candidate experience. Your answers will be a crucial part of our selection process.
