About us

Home care is distributed across several facilities, and there will be one occupational therapist and one physiotherapist affiliated with home care at start. You will collaborate with the occupational therapist to carry out the municipality's holistic care efforts. You will be attached to three of the home care districts, while the occupational therapist handles the remaining three, but there will be cross-municipality tasks where collaboration with the occupational therapist is most important.

In addition, we have one physiotherapist who works as part of our mobile specialty team, who takes on citizens after discharge and specializes in palliation. At our nursing homes we also have therapists employed who work with rehabilitation in the broadest sense. You will become part of professional sparring teams within your areas of work, including a Therapeutic Forum where therapists meet once a month across specialties and employment sites in Health and Care.

We offer

• An exciting and varied everyday life with many different professional tasks and challenges.
• A self-directed position with great influence on your own workday and task solving.
• Good opportunities for professional development and learning.
• A strong collegial community with a high degree of sparring, helpfulness and room for a good laugh.
