Occupational Therapist for Citizen-Centred Health, the health- and care placements in Silkeborg

Do you want to work with rehabilitation as an integrated part of citizens' daily lives? Are you eager to help shape the future of the close health and care system as the health and care placements in Silkeborg from January 1, 2027 become part of Borgernær Sundhed under Hospitalsenhed Midt?

We are seeking an occupational therapist who is motivated by complex citizen pathways, strong interdisciplinary collaboration and the opportunity to make a real difference for citizens' functional abilities, independence and quality of life.

About Health and Care Placements in Silkeborg

Health and Care Placements in Viborg, Silkeborg and Skive, which today are part of the municipal health offering, will from January 1, 2027 belong to the newly established department Borgernær Sundhed in Hospitalsenhed Midt. The change is part of the new health reform, which aims to create more coordinated pathways, high professional quality and health closer to the citizens.

Health and care placements in Silkeborg are rehabilitation wards with temporary placements, located at Gudenåvej 1A in Silkeborg. Here we work every day to create the best possibilities for citizens to live a good, dignified and meaningful life. Citizens have complex and diverse needs, but common for many is that they are in a new life situation where they need a targeted interdisciplinary health intervention. They are too ill to stay in their own homes, but not ill enough to be admitted to hospital.

The intervention therefore starts from a rehabilitative approach focusing on strengthening citizens' health, functional ability, coping and independence so they can return to their own home and daily life as best as possible. This requires close interdisciplinary collaboration where social and health care assistants, nurses, occupational and physical therapists, and doctors contribute with their professional competencies to create cohesive and holistic citizen pathways.

Your tasks will include

• Occupational therapy assessments and evaluations of functional ability
• ADL assessments and training based on the citizen's own goals
• Assessment of need for aids and compensatory solutions
• Interdisciplinary coordination and planning of citizen pathways
• Guidance for citizens, relatives and partners
• Documentation and follow-up on interventions

We expect that you

Are a licensed occupational therapist and thrive in entering into complex citizen pathways where close interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues and external partners is essential to create the best solutions for the citizen.

We emphasize that you

• Work rehabilitatively with a focus on the citizen's resources and mastery
• Thrive in an interdisciplinary environment
• Can create an overview and act in a changing everyday life
• Are curious about development and new knowledge
• Contribute positively to the community and the work environment

Why you should choose us

With us you will have the opportunity to become part of a strong interdisciplinary team with high ambitions on behalf of the citizens.

We offer

• Thorough and individualized introduction to the tasks plus a mentoring scheme, so you get a fixed colleague you can turn to with questions
• Skilled and engaged colleagues
• High degree of professional independence
• Close interdisciplinary collaboration
• Focus on well-being, learning and psychological safety
• Opportunity to influence the development of a new department and new solutions

If you would like to be part of Borgernær Sundhed, we look forward to receiving your application.
