Occupational Therapist for Children's Therapy in Høje-Taastrup Municipality

Do you want to help create the best conditions and terms for children with motor and/or sensory challenges in their further growth, development and learning? Do you want to bring your academically strong competences and treatment methods into play through play and daily activities, where it makes the most sense for the child and the family? And do you want good colleagues and interdisciplinary collaborators? Then we have the job!

The primary target group is children with motor and/or sensory challenges within both the special and general education sectors aged 0-12 years. You will be part of our multidisciplinary team with, among others, physiotherapists, health visitors, psychologists, special education consultants, speech therapists and caseworkers.

You will be part of a team where we work closely together and help each other, and where professional sparring and shared reflection are part of the framework around the task. You will have a mix of consultative tasks in the child’s learning environment and/or at home and therapeutic treatment of children aged 0-12 in Børneterapien's premises. You will have great flexibility in task execution.

Børneterapien is part of the Children, Youth and Family Center (BUF), and we have a good work environment with focus on well-being – for children, families and employees.

You get an exciting position with great professional variation and development opportunities. We place emphasis on a high professional level and constantly work on developing ourselves professionally to be able to lift the core task as well as possible – including education in Søheste training.

Your tasks will include, among others

• Observations of children in their near surroundings
• Assessments with e.g. Sensory Profile, SPM, Movement ABC-3, Bayley, visual perception tests and oromotor assessment tools.
• Training of children and young people – both individually and in groups
• Baby treatments
• Handling of group instruction with Søheste training as the method (if you do not know the method there is an opportunity for education)
• Preparation of written material in connection with feedback to parents, day care/school as well as hospital.
• Servicing of various offers in the municipality (e.g. sparring and programs in pedagogical baseline offers for children with special educational needs)
• Maintenance training of children with lasting functional impairments
• Guidance of pedagogical staff in the municipality's day care, schools, special groups/group arrangements
• Rehabilitation after referral from the hospital (both somatic and psychiatric)
• Journal entry in accordance with the journal-keeping duty for health professionals

We are looking for you , who are passionate about working with children and their families, and you who rest in your profession and your professional profile. You work openly and empathetically with parents, cross-sector partners and multidisciplinary colleagues. You have a positive view of people, which will contribute to safeguarding a good workplace community.

We would like you to

• Have experience within the sensory-motor development of children and young people
• Have knowledge of sensory profiles and standardized tests
• Have the ability to take responsibility for creating and maintaining cross-disciplinary collaborative relationships
• Be able to convey complex professional knowledge in an easily understandable way
• Be able to work both independently and in close cooperation with multidisciplinary colleagues
• Be able to juggle in a fast-paced and unpredictable “space”
• Thrive in a daily life characterized by variation and change, and be able to approach tasks with agility and decisiveness
• Be interested in participating in development projects internally and externally for Børneterapien.

We have physical premises in Høje-Taastrup, where we have both office facilities and treatment, meeting and movement rooms. We have tasks across the municipality, so having your own bike or car is advantageous when you need to move around.
