Occupational therapists sought for the Sedenhuse residential care home

Are you an occupational therapist and do you find it meaningful to work with adults with developmental disabilities, and do you want to be part of a multidisciplinary strong community in an open and developing environment? Then now is the time to seize the opportunity!
