Professionally qualified physiotherapist or occupational therapist wanted at Skovbrynet

Would you like to be part of an evolving interdisciplinary working environment, where we help people every day to live the life they want? Could you also enjoy a varied daily life with good colleagues and a listening leader, where together we focus on professional development and a good working environment.

Are you motivated to create good pathways for citizens in complex disease trajectories, and would you like to help prevent hospital admissions in close collaboration with the hospital, your GP and other relevant partners, then you are the right person for Skovbrynet.

We prioritize living life in a homey and safe environment. We work from a rehabilitative mindset with help to self-help. All professional groups work closely with the citizen/resident with a focus on solving the core task.

As a therapist you will participate in the daily work around the resident, and thereby gain knowledge that can contribute to assessment, planning and execution of rehabilitation, in close cooperation with the other healthcare staff.

• We are a nursing home with high professionalism, competencies and skilled staff
• We can offer an exciting and varied workday
• Colleagues who value an appreciative, open dialogue and a positive approach
• Have a good interdisciplinary cooperation with several professional groups

The Skovbrynet nursing home is located in Gistrup, in lovely surroundings as part of the local area. We have a good collaboration with volunteers and civil society who make a great effort at our nursing home.

• We are innovative but still hold on to good traditions
• We value the resident's self- and co-determination, in dialogue with the citizen, so it makes sense for the individual. We have respect for the “lived life” – and the wishes the individual resident may have, within the limits we can offer

We have room for 45 residents distributed across 3 somatic living units and 2 units reserved for residents with a dementia diagnosis.
