Occupational Therapist for a part-time position between the Training Department and the Health and Care Facilities

Do you want to use your occupational therapy professional expertise in complex citizen journeys and help develop the future health and care placements?

We are looking for an engaged occupational therapist who wants to bring their expertise into play in complex citizen journeys and contribute to creating coherence between treatment, care and rehabilitation.

You will have your primary daily work at the municipality's Health and Care Placess, where you will become an important part of the interdisciplinary team around the citizens. Here you will have the opportunity to make a concrete difference by applying occupational therapy in the citizens' daily lives and support that rehabilitation becomes an integrated part of the overall effort. At the same time you will become part of the Training Department's professional community, where you have occupational and physiotherapist colleagues for sparring and collaboration.

You will be employed as a self-managing employee, which means that you, in collaboration with your colleagues, have great influence on planning your workday. Working hours are generally arranged during daytime hours, but there may be a need for flexibility in working hours, so there is also an opportunity for professional sparring with colleagues across shifts.

From January 1, 2027 the temporary placements at the Rehabilitation Center Grøndal are transformed into the municipality's Health and Care Placess. This implies development of both tasks, workflows and interdisciplinary collaboration. Health and Care Placess shall be able to handle more complex health professional interventions and support coherent pathways for citizens in need of a special health and care effort.

Your tasks

As an occupational therapist you will play a central role in supporting citizens' functioning, independence and quality of life during their stay at the Health and Care Placess. You must be able to translate your occupational therapy expertise into concrete interventions based on the individual citizen's resources, needs and goals. Additionally you will among other things conduct rehabilitation after SUL §140, which can be either in the citizen's own home or at Faxe Health Center/department.

An important part of your task will be to bring the occupational therapy expertise into the interdisciplinary collaboration and contribute to rehabilitation being integrated into all parts of the citizen's daily life – not only in planned training activities.

Your tasks will include, among others

• Assessment of citizens' activity and functional ability and planning of relevant occupational-therapeutic and rehabilitative interventions.
• Assessment and training of ADL functions, including personal care, meals and other daily activities.
• Startup conversations and ongoing follow-up on citizens' goals and interventions in close collaboration with the citizens' contact persons at the Health and Care Placess.
• Assessment of need for aids and appropriate workflows.
• Focus on dysphagia, nutrition and meal situations in collaboration with relevant professional groups.
• Professional sparring, guidance and upskilling of staff at the Health and Care Placess.
• Support the staff's rehabilitative approach so that the citizens' resources and opportunities for activity and independence are brought into play in everyday care and nursing tasks.
• Contribute to integrating rehabilitation and re-training into the overall effort around the citizen.
• Care of relevant occupational-therapeutic training tasks in the Training Department, including interventions under the Health Act § 140, the Service Act § 86 and the Elderly Act.
• Close collaboration with citizens, relatives and other internal and external partners.
• Contribute to good documentation based on Shared Language III and the municipality's documentation practice.

You should be able to see opportunities in working rehabilitatively in all parts of the citizen's daily life and be keen to share your expertise with other staff. It is about both conducting your own occupational-therapy interventions and making the occupational therapy knowledge usable for the colleagues who are around the citizen all day.

We are looking for you who

• Are educated and licensed occupational therapist.
• Have an interest in rehabilitation and complex citizen journeys.
• Can translate your expertise into concrete interventions in citizens' daily lives.
• Work from a citizen-centered and rehabilitative approach.
• Thrive in a multidisciplinary environment and see the value in making other professions good.
• Would like to teach, guide and share your professional knowledge with colleagues.
• Can work independently, structure your own workday and take responsibility for your tasks.
• Have good collaboration skills and actively contribute to a good collegial community.
• Have interest in or experience with dysphagia and aids.
• Have good IT skills and place professional documentation high.

It is an advantage if you have experience from municipal rehabilitation, temporary placements or other areas with complex health professional challenges, for example medical bed wards in a hospital setting.

We offer

• A varied position with the possibility to bring your occupational therapy expertise broadly into play.
• An workplace with engaged and competent colleagues across professional groups.
• Opportunity to shape the development of the occupational therapy interventions at the future Health and Care Placess.
• A multidisciplinary collaboration with both occupational and physical therapy colleagues and other health professionals.
• A workday with great independence and the possibility to arrange your own tasks.
• A professional environment where sparring, reflection and development are prioritized.
