Occupational Therapist for specialized rehabilitation based on the citizen's own home and at the Neuro Unit North

Do you want to help develop a new regional offer for people with acquired brain injury – and bring your occupational therapy expertise close to the citizen's daily life?

We are seeking an occupational therapist who is passionate about specialized neurorehabilitation, meaningful activities and developing new solutions for people with complex rehabilitation needs.

The position is a combination role, where you will both provide specialized rehabilitation based on the citizen's own home and perform occupational therapy tasks for patients admitted to Neuroenhed Nord in Brønderslev.

You will play a central role in building a new regional rehabilitation offer, where the citizen's home, daily activities and familiar surroundings become an active part of the rehabilitation.

About the position

As part of the development of specialized rehabilitation in the North Jutland Region, a regional offer is being established for citizens who need a specialized rehabilitation effort based on their own home.

The offer will build on the specialized competencies that exist in the regional neurorehabilitation environment, and at the same time create coherence between rehabilitation, the citizen's everyday life and the further course in the municipal sector.

You will become part of the existing occupational therapy group at Neuroenhed Nord. Here you will have a professional base with colleagues, cross-disciplinary sparring and a specialized clinical environment, while also having the opportunity to shape the development of the new initiative.

Your working hours may periodically fluctuate between full-time care of inpatients at Neuroenhed Nord Brønderslev or specialized rehabilitation of citizens in their own home. In the long term, a distribution of approximately 50% for each task is expected. Geographically, the position covers the entire North Jutland Region - with daily travel from the service site in Brønderslev.

You report professionally and on a day-to-day basis to the Chief Senior Occupational Therapist at the Department of Neurorehabilitation and work closely with the health professional leader on development and implementation of rehabilitation at a specialized level.

Your tasks

Your tasks will include, among others

• Plan, implement and evaluate specialized occupational therapy rehabilitation programs in the citizen's own home.
• Investigate and assess the citizen's activity performance, functional ability and opportunities to participate in daily activities.

• Arrange targeted interventions based on the citizen's individual goals, resources, familiar routines and surroundings.
• Support relearning of everyday activities, development of compensatory strategies and appropriate use of assistive devices.

• Collaborate closely with municipal partners on coordination, knowledge sharing and the transition to the subsequent municipal intervention.
• Perform occupational therapy tasks for patients admitted to Neuroenhed Nord.
• Contribute actively to the development, testing and implementation of workflows and professional methods in the new regional offer.

You must be able to work independently and make professional decisions within your own area of competence, while actively seeking sparring and contributing to interdisciplinary collaboration.

Who are you?
