Occupational Therapist for Care and Rehabilitation, District North, Aarhus Municipality

Are you the occupational therapist who wants to make a difference – every day?

Are you passionate about prevention, training and rehabilitation? And are you motivated to support citizens in maintaining their functional abilities so they can live the life they want?

If you also thrive with long-term citizen pathways, where you have the opportunity to build close relationships and a solid knowledge of the individual, then maybe you are the one we are looking for!

At Health and Care we work to ensure that citizens experience coherent and well-coordinated pathways, based on their wishes, needs and resources.

Become part of our strong multidisciplinary team in Hjortshøj

In Care and Rehabilitation, Team Hjortshøj, we focus on high professionalism and quality in the effort, and we therefore need another engaged occupational therapist in our multidisciplinary team.

We work from a rehabilitative approach with focus on retraining, health promotion and prevention. Our work is based on Health and Care’s Care Pathway Model, and we have particular focus on maintaining citizens' functional ability and preventing functional decline.

You will work with both ADL interventions and shorter training and rehabilitation pathways in connection with newly arisen functional loss.

The citizen pathways vary widely. From lighter support for practical tasks to complex pathways with terminal, chronically ill and multi-sick citizens. You will therefore have the opportunity for both professional deepening and great variation in tasks.

A team with commitment, knowledge and heart

Team Hjortshøj consists of social- and health assistants, social- and health care assistants, nurses, occupational and physiotherapists as well as a competence-developing nurse and physiotherapist.

We place emphasis on high professionalism, good collaboration and a curious approach to development, and we are focused on learning more about our practice:

What do we succeed with? What challenges us? Where can we improve?

Working hours

The position primarily involves day shifts. In Aarhus North all teams are required to provide one occupational therapist for weekend work in a locally agreed interval. In our network it is every 4th weekend. Since we are two occupational therapists in the team, you will however have to work fewer weekends, potentially every 8th weekend. The concrete distribution we agree on afterwards so it fits best possible.

Your tasks will include both short-term rehabilitation pathways and maintenance interventions, including:

• Training and rehabilitation after SEL §§ 86.1, 86.2 and 83a
• Assessment of citizens with functional loss
• Goal setting and follow-up in close collaboration with citizen and multidisciplinary team
• Involvement of relevant tests and measurement methods
• Handover and guidance in ADL interventions to social and health personnel
• Pathway responsibility and coordination – including contact with relatives and external partners such as general practitioners

Why you should choose us

• We plan individualized introduction depending on competencies and experience
• High degree of own and independent influence on solving the task in consultation with citizens and colleagues.
• A professional working environment with high spirits and good colleagues
• A culture where we help each other - every day
