Physiotherapist for rehabilitation and training on Læsø

"From passive help to active training" – that is the direction our politicians have set, and it forms the basis for our work.

If you are up for becoming our new colleague, we can offer a permanent position of 30-37 hours per week as a physiotherapist with start date 1 December 2026 or by agreement.

We are creative in composing the content of the role – that is how we work, because we live on an island and must solve all the tasks that come our way.

You will work broadly with citizens in their own homes and in nursing homes. As a physiotherapist you will be a central part of the rehabilitative effort at our upcoming health and care places, which we operate in collaboration with the region. Here you will be involved in programs with citizens who need targeted training, rehabilitation and professional assessment after hospitalization, illness or loss of function – with a focus on strengthening the citizen’s ability to return to everyday life at the best possible level of function.

You will become part of Team Vejgaard, where home care and nursing, visitation and therapists are based. Your work will include tasks under the Health Act, the Public Services Act and the Elderly Act, and you will be an important part of the overall effort around the citizen.

You are a trained physiotherapist and have Danish authorization. Experience from municipal rehabilitation, rehabilitation, the assistive device field or interdisciplinary patient pathways is an advantage, but not a requirement. The most important is that you want to work independently, take responsibility and actively contribute to the development of the rehabilitative effort on Læsø.

We expect that you

• Are a trained physiotherapist and have Danish authorization
• Want to work with citizens with chronic physical and psychological illnesses as well as citizens in rehabilitation and treatment pathways
• Have knowledge of or interest in transfer, mobilization, digitally supported training and the granting of assistive devices
• Can thrive in a daily life where you must work independently, prioritize and keep an overview
• Have situational awareness and be flexible, robust, proactive, creative and development-oriented
• Have an interest in and preferably experience with preventive and rehabilitative work as well as ensuring good patient pathways
• Will actively contribute to good interdisciplinary collaboration and be able to collaborate both professionally and cross-disciplinary
• Have experience with health-related documentation and have IT skills
• Have a driving license
