Occupational Therapist (f/m/d) 60-80%

You know exactly what occupational therapy is really about — not ten minutes on the pegboard and a worksheet to take home. It’s about Mr M. buttoning his shirt himself again. About Mrs W. making her own coffee after a stroke. About someone who thought it was no longer possible, managing it after all — because you know where to start. That’s exactly why we exist.

• 08:00 You start with your company car. First visit in the Gundeldinger district — client after stroke, hand function and daily living training. You already know her, know what’s on the agenda this week.
• 08:15 Kitchen instead of therapy room. Tap on the left, cups in the top cupboard, hob at the back. This is where what really matters in everyday life becomes visible. You observe, correct, instruct the daughter for exercises between your visits.
• 09:45 Short drive to Riehen, less than 15 minutes. On the way you call the physiotherapist — shared client, coordination on assistive device provision. Bath board or shower stool? Decision made together, today.
• 10:15 Second visit. Home adaptation after fall. You look at the path from bed to bathroom, the door thresholds, the light switches — and immediately know how the setup will look over the next three weeks. You write the report to the health insurance later via app.
• 12:30 Lunch break — you choose where. No canteen table, no briefing in the meeting room.
• 13:30 to 16:30 Three more visits in Bruderholz, St. Johann and Kleinhüningen. Fine motor skills, cognitive training, fall prevention — all in the real everyday life of the clients. You finish at 17:00.

• Mobile occupational therapy at clients’ homes — apartment, kitchen, bathroom, neighbourhood in and around Basel
• Neurorehabilitation after stroke, trauma and in neurodegenerative diseases
• Daily living training and independence — personal care, household, hand function, cognition
• Assistive device provision and home adaptation — advice, assessment, introduction on site
• Interdisciplinary collaboration with physiotherapy, speech therapy and nursing for the same client, including reports for disability insurance, health insurers and referring doctors

• Diploma as occupational therapist FH or equivalent — recognised in Switzerland
• Driving licence category B — you drive daily between your visits. Company car including private use provided from day 1.
• Experience with adults — neurology, geriatrics, hand therapy. Paediatrics is a different field.
• Independent working — you decide on site, without a supervisor in the room. The team is reachable by phone, but not present.
• You don’t need your own therapy room — your workplace is the client’s home. That’s method, not compromise.

What we offer:

• 🚗 Company car including private use, fuel card included — also for private trips at weekends.
• ⌛ Workload 60 to 100% — you choose, we adapt. Also for returnees or part-time models.
• 🏠 Home office for administration, reports, documentation and planning — via app, from home.
• 📍 Short distances in your region — your visits in and around Basel are within a radius of about 15 minutes’ drive. More time for therapy, less time in the car.
• 🏝 5 weeks’ holiday, plus health bonus — up to 2 additional days per year. No shift work, Monday to Friday, no night duty.

Why reha at home — and not a clinic or practice?

• You work in real everyday life — not in a therapy room simulating everyday life. Kitchen, bathroom, stairwell, neighbourhood street. That is your therapy room.
• More time per client than in any clinic. No schedule, no next patient in the waiting room — you can stay where it is currently important.
• True interdisciplinarity — occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy and nursing work on the same client. Not side by side, not by file note — but agreed, coordinated, effective.
• Further training supported, in time and financially — neurorehabilitation, hand therapy, assistive device provision.
• We are the only organisation in Switzerland that combines mobile rehabilitation, therapy and nursing in this way. A workplace that exists nowhere else in this form.
