Brief about the position

We participate in several working groups both mono- and multidisciplinary with the aim of improving and developing patient pathways primarily in a neurological setting. Currently, we are focusing on the implementation of FIM, group training and health competencies.

Your main tasks will consist of

• Acute ADL and swallowing assessments of neurological patients with setting of goals and plans as well as recommendations for further rehabilitation needs and discharge destination.
• Rehabilitation with further treatment and retraining of patients admitted with acquired brain injury.
• Close collaboration with the patient, relatives and the interdisciplinary team about the patient’s rehabilitation pathway, including participation in DIS (The Inclusive Rounds).

We imagine that you

• Are passionate about the neurological specialty, have knowledge of dysphagia and cognitive dysfunctions.

• Thrive in a hospital and can handle working with seriously ill people and their relatives.
• Can work independently and are good at having an overview and prioritizing.
• Have good collaboration skills and see it as natural to involve multidisciplinary partners in patient pathways and task solutions.

We offer

• Skilled and dedicated mono- and cross-disciplinary colleagues who prioritize thorough introduction, professional sparring and knowledge sharing highly
• An exciting and varied daily life with professional challenges and responsibility, where you never stand alone.
• Focus on research and development, where there is opportunity to influence the occupational therapy and rehabilitation efforts and development work.
• Positive expectations of you, and leadership that prioritizes professional and personal development, innovation and well-being.
