About Ward 3

In Ward 3 we work with highly specialized neurorehabilitation of patients with acquired brain injury. Many of our patients have severe cognitive challenges, but the target group is broad and varied, providing a versatile and professionally exciting work environment.

You will meet patients with extensive somatosensory, perceptual and communicative challenges, including dysphagia, as well as patients with a high physical functional level, where the main challenges are cognitive, emotional and/or behavioral.

• Assessment and treatment of dysphagia.
• Assessment and treatment of cognitive, perceptual and sensory functions.
• Planning rehabilitation programs based on a neuropedagogical approach.
• Education and guidance of patients, relatives and collaborators.

You will participate in both individual treatment courses, multidisciplinary double treatments and joint activities, where rehabilitation is integrated into meaningful everyday activities.

A strong professional community

You will become part of a staff group of about 50 dedicated colleagues consisting of nurses, social and health assistants, doctors, physiotherapists and six occupational therapists.

We work in multidisciplinary teams around the individual patient, and we place great emphasis on respect for each other’s professionalities. As an occupational therapist you contribute with your special knowledge about activity, participation and everyday life, while becoming part of a close and developing collaboration.

We offer

• A structured introductory program with relevant courses and training.
• A monofield mentor and experienced colleagues who support your professional development.
• Good opportunities for sparring, teaching and skills development.
• A strong multidisciplinary collaboration with the patient at the center.
• A workplace characterized by high professionalism, psychological safety and helpful colleagues.
• Opportunity to develop both your occupational therapy and neuropedagogical competencies.

Who are you?

• You are interested in neurorehabilitation and preferably have experience in the field.
• You are curious about the connection between occupational therapy and neuropedagogy.
• You can work independently and at the same time thrive in a close multidisciplinary collaboration.
• You are reflective, flexible and motivated for professional development.

The most important for us is that you want to join an engaged community and contribute to rehabilitation processes of high professional quality.

Why choose us

At Ward 3 we believe that the best rehabilitation programs are created through strong relationships, high professionalism and a good working environment. We highly value learning, sparring and development, and actively work to create a culture where it is safe to ask questions, share experiences and learn from each other.
