Do you want to make a real difference for people with acquired brain injury?

Do you want to help create development and quality of life for people with neurological challenges? At Lions Neurocenter we are seeking both a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist who wish to join a strong multidisciplinary community with high professionalism, great influence and a focus on opportunities rather than limitations.

With us, we work purposefully to ensure that people with complex acquired brain injury achieve the greatest possible independence, quality of life and active participation in everyday life. We believe that the best rehabilitation results are created through strong relationships, multidisciplinary collaboration and a sustained belief in each citizen's resources and development opportunities.

About Lions Neurocenter

Lions Neurocenter is a self-governing institution that offers highly specialized neurorehabilitation for adults between 18 and 65 years with complex acquired brain injury.

The positions are anchored in our neurorehabilitation offering (phase 3), where we provide longer rehabilitation courses following the Danish Social Services Act §107.

The stay usually lasts between six months and three years.
