Occupational therapists and physiotherapists for new health and care facilities, Lillebaelt Hospital

Occupational therapists and physiotherapists for new health and care plazas, Sygehus Lillebælt - be part of it from the start!

Do you think that developments in the healthcare system open up new, exciting ways to work with rehabilitation and multidisciplinary collaboration? Do you want to help create the best possible citizen journeys on the health and care plazas? We are now seeking engaged occupational therapists and physiotherapists who want to join our new team.

In connection with the health reform, we are establishing health and care plazas in Kolding, Middelfart, Fredericia, Thyregod and Vejle as of January 1, 2027. The programs at the plazas have a multidisciplinary, rehabilitative aim, so that citizens achieve increased functional ability, greater independence and improved quality of life. Citizens can come from their own home or from the hospital and should experience a safe and coherent pathway.

Training, care and assistance are integrated into all daily activities during the stay, and the therapists are an equal part of the overall team around the citizen. The physiotherapists and occupational therapists will be organized in a new department in the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy at Sygehus Lillebælt with a chief therapist for the health and care plazas as the nearest manager.

The structure must balance the need for high therapist professional quality with the desire for local anchoring at the individual plazas and close, trusting multidisciplinary collaboration. We are seeking occupational or physiotherapists for daily operations at the health and care plazas in Kolding (located in Vesterløkke), Vejle and Thyregod.

About us
