• Assessment and treatment of dysphagia.
• Assessment and treatment of cognitive, perceptual and sensory functions.
• Planning of rehabilitation pathways with a neuropedagogical approach.
• Education and guidance for patients, relatives and collaboration partners.

A strong professional community

You will become part of a team of about 50 committed colleagues consisting of nurses, social and health care assistants, doctors, physiotherapists and six occupational therapists.

We work in multidisciplinary teams around the individual patient, and we place great emphasis on respecting each other’s professional backgrounds.

• A workplace characterized by high professional standards, psychological safety and helpful colleagues.
• Opportunities to develop both your occupational therapy and neuropedagogical competencies.

Who are you?

• You have an interest in neurorehabilitation and preferably experience within the field.
• You are curious about the connection between occupational therapy and neuropedagogy.
• You can work independently and at the same time thrive in a close multidisciplinary collaboration.
• You are reflective, flexible and motivated for professional development.

The most important thing for us is that you want to join a committed community and contribute to rehabilitation pathways of high professional quality.

Why choose us
