Physiotherapist for the Orthopaedic Surgery Department

We are seeking a physiotherapist substitute for our orthopedic surgical team

Do you want to make a difference for orthopedic surgical patients?

Are you curious about the orthopedic surgical specialty, and would you like to try your hand at it in practice?

Then you now have the opportunity to become part of our team of orthopedic surgery physiotherapists, as one of our colleagues is going on maternity leave.

Who are we?

In the Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy we cover almost all specialties at North Zealand Hospital.

Our orthopedic surgical team consists of 12 physiotherapists with a strong professional and collegial community. We work closely with the nursing staff and doctors at the Orthopedic Department.

Orthopedic Department is spread across several wards and treats patients with complex problems in the locomotor system – including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves.

In addition to acutely admitted patients, we also handle a large outpatient activity, including group training for amputee patients and training for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

We also look forward to an exciting future!

Within the next few years we expect to open the doors to the New North Zealand Hospital. The new hospital is designed for a future with large technological opportunities and patients with new expectations of the healthcare system.

The future calls for rethinking, and as a physiotherapist you will have the opportunity to be involved in the preparations ahead of the move to the new hospital.

What you will be working with

Assess the need for physiotherapy and perform functional capacity assessments in inpatients at the Orthopedic Department.

Advise and train inpatients and outpatient orthopedic surgical patients before and after surgery.

Carry out group training for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Collaborate cross-functionally with nurses and doctors.

Involve patients and relatives through confident, respectful and clear communication.

Who fits well with us?

• Are professionally curious and have an interest in the orthopedic surgical specialty.
• Thrive in interdisciplinary collaboration while also being able to work independently.
• Can maintain an overview in a changing daily routine and take responsibility for your own tasks.

What do we offer?

With us you get

• A thorough introduction and ongoing supervision.
• Good opportunities for professional sparring and development.
• Skilled and dedicated colleagues across disciplines.
• An workplace focused on well-being, a good working environment, care and consideration.
• Flexibility in your shift schedule by agreement with the senior therapist – including the possibility of compensatory time, days off after weekend shifts and internal shift swaps.
• An informal tone, good collegiality and room for humor in everyday life.
