Speech Therapy 60-100%

You know exactly what occupational therapy is really about – not about pegboards on the table and a leaflet to take away. It is about Mr M. buttoning up his shirt again by himself. About Mrs W. having breakfast alone at the kitchen table after a stroke. About someone who no longer thought it possible managing it after all – because you know where to start.

• 08:00 You start with your company car. Your first assignment takes you to Gossau – to a client after a stroke. Today, training independence in everyday life is on the agenda. You already know her and know what you are working on this week.
• 08:15 Kitchen instead of therapy room. The kettle is too high, the drawer sticks, the affected hand is not cooperating properly yet. This is exactly where what really matters in everyday life becomes apparent.
• You observe, adjust and instruct the daughter for exercises between your assignments.
• 09:45 Short drive to St. Gallen. On the way, you call the physiotherapist – you both care for the same client and discuss the provision of aids together. Bath board or shower chair? The decision is made together – today.
• 10:15 Second assignment: home modification after hospital discharge. You look at the path from the bed to the bathroom, check door thresholds and handle heights and quickly know which adjustments are sensible in the next three weeks.
• You write the report for the health insurance later easily via app.
• 12:30 Lunch break – you decide where. No canteen table, no briefing in the meeting room.
• 13:30 to 16:30 Three more assignments in Wittenbach, Herisau and Rorschach. Hand therapy, cognitive training, fall prevention – always where your clients actually live.
• At 17:00 you finish.

• Mobile occupational therapy at clients’ homes – in the flat, bathroom, kitchen and immediate living environment
• Geriatric and orthopaedic rehabilitation – after falls, hand injuries, prosthesis provision or hospital discharge
• Training of everyday activities – personal care, dressing, cooking and household in the real living environment
• Hand therapy, fine motor skills and cognitive training – depending on the individual needs of your clients
• Interdisciplinary collaboration with physiotherapy, speech therapy and nursing for the same client
• Reports for disability insurance, health insurance and referring doctors – digital and uncomplicated on the go

• Diploma as an occupational therapist FH or equivalent training recognised in Switzerland
• Driving licence category B – you are on the road daily between your assignments. Company car including private use will be provided to you from day 1.
• Experience with adults – ideally in neurology, geriatrics or hand therapy. Paediatrics is a different professional field.
• Enjoyment of independent work – you decide on site, without a boss in the room. The team is available to you by phone.
• Local knowledge in St. Gallen and surroundings is an advantage – you move between city, neighbourhood, village and sometimes also old building staircases.

• You do not need your own therapy room. Your workplace is your client’s flat. That is our method – no compromise.

  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. Staircase. Neighbourhood street. That is your therapy room. You have more time per client than in many traditional settings. No constant pace, no waiting room full of patients. You can stay where it is currently important. And you work interdisciplinarily: occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy and nursing work on the same client. Not side by side and not just by file note – but agreed, coordinated and together.
• We combine mobile rehabilitation, therapy and nursing in a form that is rarely found elsewhere.
