PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE

I have worked as a physiotherapist between 12/2002 and 8/2006 in the private sector. Since 9/2006 I have been working in the public sector at a health center. The workplace has remained the same all along, even though the employers have changed. Employers have been the city of Outokumpu, the municipality of Liperi, the city of Joensuu and Wellbeing services county of North Karelia. I have mainly worked as a physiotherapist, but when working in the city of Outokumpu and the municipality of Liperi, my duties also included the duties of an occupational physiotherapist. While working at Wellbeing services county of North Karelia, I have worked as a physiotherapist and team leader. From 2022, I have been acting as a service supervisor, where I am also currently working until the end of this year.
