Do you have experience or an interest in working in the child sector, particularly children with physical disabilities and pervasive developmental disorders? Is an appreciative approach essential for you? Then maybe you are the right person we are looking for!

PPR Svendborg and Ærø are seeking a physiotherapist for the Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy service. The position is 37 hours per week from January 1, 2027. Your tasks will primarily be individual training tasks at different locations, so you should expect a considerable amount of driving.

Who we are

We are 11 dedicated occupational and physical therapists, together with our physiotherapist professional leader. Our target group is children and young people aged 0-18 years who have difficulties with active participation in meaningful activities as well as the body, sensation and movement to varying degrees. We collaborate with health visitors, social workers, day care, kindergartens, schools and other relevant external partners.

We are part of an exciting and development-oriented workplace in PPR, organized in School and Education under Children, Youth, Culture and Leisure. PPR consists of a leadership team, administration and 54 employees spread across occupational and physical therapists, psychologists, speech therapists, pedagogical consultants and DSA consultants.

Our office is at Ørbækvej 49, 5700 Svendborg, and we have assignments for Svendborg, Langeland and Ærø Municipality.

You will become part of

• a group of dedicated and competent occupational and physical therapists with a focus on quality and professional development
• a group that is not afraid to think innovatively and to explore new paths
• a lively and inspiring workplace with possibilities for professional and personal development
• a organization that has a learning- and process-oriented approach with opportunities for sparring
• a workplace that places interdisciplinary collaboration very high
• a good working environment with a high degree of autonomy and opportunities for sparring

We want a colleague who

• has an appreciative approach

• wants to share knowledge and experiences and contribute to further developing the Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy
• has strong professional engagement and a desire for development
• has a flexible attitude to the tasks

Svendborg Municipality, in our view, is a workplace of a perfectly sized: small enough to be close to each other in a warm informal community with short decision paths and no hidden agendas. And large enough to allow room for ambitions, high professionalism and rich opportunities for development.

We value everyday life and insist that it should be nice to go to work. We are busy, but not too busy to help each other.

Our values are not just on paper; we actually use them as a compass every day. We meet each other at eye level, in dialogue and with trust, and together we create a safe framework where we can all solve our tasks independently, flexibly and responsibly.
