As of January 1, 2027, we have the opportunity to establish a permanent full-time position as an occupational therapist linked to our general neurology ward.

You should apply for this position if you want to work with complex patient pathways in a neurological setting, where you will, among other things, contribute to assessments in the acute phase. We also work with patients who have diagnostic uncertainty.

We are continuously developing the right occupational therapy offerings for patients in an acute hospital. Therefore, you should also be ready to contribute to this development.

What we offer you

• Opportunity to work with early assessment and initiation of rehabilitation in the acute phase – an intervention crucial to the patient’s further course. You will mainly work with ADL and dysphagia
• An department with professionalism, a positive collaborative climate and high professionalism
• An engaged work environment with ambitious colleagues who value the development of our professional offerings, but also humor and a positive spirit
• Neurorehabilitation of patients in the intensive care unit
• Opportunity to be introduced to multiple specialisms with a view to being able to help across departments

We are looking for you who

• Have strong collaborative skills and contribute positively in meetings with patients, relatives and colleagues
• Have good experience with neurology – preferably with competencies in neurorehabilitation, neuropedagogy and the ABC concepts
• Are curious, reflective and open to learning and sparring
• Have an overview and the ability to prioritize so that patients receive holistic and meaningful pathways

About us

We are a total of 47 therapists – 15 occupational therapists and 29 physiotherapists, including 2 development therapists and 3 senior therapists – who work closely across specialties and departments. Weekend and holiday work is part of the position, and there is a possibility for internal cross-specialty training. We have a mentorship program for new employees.

We have an active clinical research unit and work purposefully to create highly active patient pathways during hospitalization. We prioritize a strong learning environment and a constructive feedback culture, where you can develop both professionally and personally. We are a university hospital and we have students about 4 times a year.

We look forward to becoming part of the new supers hospital in Køge, and there is already a process to plan the move, which means that all ward beds in 2027 will be consolidated in Køge.
