There is a 37-hour physiotherapist position available to be filled on 1 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

About the job

We are seeking a flexible and dynamic physiotherapist, preferably with experience from the child area, who can see the value of working cross-disciplinary in an educational environment. You should be interested in working holistically around the children. Our approach is based on play and the child’s zone of proximal development.

The target group is children aged 0-6 years with significant and lasting physical and mental functional impairments who require continuous treatment – both special pedagogical and therapeutic as well as children with physical and mental functional impairments who need a special pedagogical effort.

Children generally need to be in smaller child communities and require strong adult guidance throughout all daily activities and transitions.

We work purposefully to plan a special pedagogical and therapeutic intervention, where special consideration is given to the child’s need for help in development and support to be able to participate in and thrive in small and larger child communities. We base our work on the child’s prerequisites and delayed development level. We work at all levels inclusively.

Your closest collaboration will be with an occupational therapy colleague as well as 9 pedagogues in Brombærhuset.

We are looking for a person

• who has a physiotherapy education and experience with and a desire to work with children with reduced function, autism spectrum disorders, and ADHD
• who can conduct assessment, observation and treatment based on the children’s everyday life and the child’s zone of proximal development.
• who can develop a sensory profile and apply it in practice
• who has knowledge of sensory processing and motor development in children with e.g. cerebral palsy, syndromes, developmental delays and autism spectrum disorders.
• who can base their practice in family-centered practice, where communication and guidance to parents are founded on an equal partnership.
• who can participate in an open and positive cross-disciplinary collaboration, where reflection and sparring are part of the daily work
• who in an educational environment can maintain and develop their own professional area
• who can take care of procurement and adaptation of aids
• who can prepare written status reports, goals and sub-goals as well as documentation

Important personal qualities we value

• physically and mentally robust and able to work structured in a daily life with varied tasks
• playful, able to create life around you and capable of wondering
• possess presence, empathy, patience and the ability to reflect on your own practice
• able to inspire colleagues and parents

We offer

• a well-functioning, exciting and demanding workplace in ongoing development
• a therapeutic practice where we draw inspiration from newer theories about the nervous system, movement and motor control, and sensory integration theories
• weekly visits to a well-equipped Snoezelen House with the possibility to work targeted with sensory integration
• swimming in a warm water pool
• opportunity for professional and personal development and sparring with therapeutic colleagues and pedagogues, as well as external partners
• active parent collaboration
