Physiotherapist for the medical and cardiology team at Zealand University Hospital Roskilde

Would you like to work with complex patient pathways at an acute hospital, where professional development, collegial sparring and patient-centered physiotherapy are an important part of daily life?

We are seeking two physiotherapists for our medical and cardiology team in the Ergotherapy and Physiotherapy department at Zealand University Hospital Roskilde with employment starting 1 November 2026. One position is 37 hours per week and the other 30 hours per week.

What you get with us

• a structured onboarding program with a mentor
• professional sparring from experienced colleagues
• opportunity to develop competencies within medical and cardiology patient pathways
• close interdisciplinary collaboration with doctors, nurses and other therapists
• engaged colleagues with a focus on collaboration, feedback and wellbeing
• opportunity to contribute to the development of physiotherapy practice

The job

You will be part of a team working with patients in, among other things, pulmonology, cardiology, infectious diseases and nephrology. You will encounter patients with complex issues and contribute to assessment, treatment, mobilization and planning of the further rehabilitation pathway.

The physiotherapy service has a central role in assessing patients’ functional ability, respiratory status and rehabilitation needs. You will be an important partner in creating cohesive patient pathways during admission and during the transition to the further treatment and rehabilitation pathway.

No day is exactly the same. You will be part of an acute hospital where clinical assessments, prioritization and collaboration make a visible difference for patients every day.

We imagine that you

• are curious about the medical and cardiology specialty
• thrive with both independence and close collaboration
• can prioritize in a busy and changing daily life
• are eager to work with complex patient pathways
• wish to develop your clinical competencies
• contribute positively to collaboration and the working environment

You may be a new graduate or have experience from hospital, municipality or other practice. The most important is your motivation for the specialty and the desire to learn.

A strong professional community

We prioritize a working environment where it is natural to ask for help, share experiences and give feedback. With us, you do not need to know everything from the start.

You will be part of a large group of therapists with high professionalism and a willingness to help. We believe that good patient pathways are created through collaboration, and that development happens best in a safe learning environment.

We collaborate across specialties and departments, and we also have an active development and research environment that supports the professional development in the department.

We solve tasks across specialties and work purposefully to create value for patients through high clinical quality and good collaboration.
