We are seeking occupational therapists for permanent positions in neurorehabilitation for 24-hour rehabilitation, Horsens, at the Hammel Neurocenter of the Regional Hospital

Join a specialized and interdisciplinary team! Do you want to make a real difference for people with acquired brain injury – in a daily life where professionalism, structure and relationships go hand in hand?

The positions are available to be filled from 1 December 2026.

We are in the middle of an exciting development. In accordance with the Health Reform, the specialized area is transferred from the municipalities to the region on 1 January 2027. This means you will become part of an organization in transition – with the opportunity to make your professional mark, contribute to the development of specialized-level rehabilitation, and be part of an important journey for citizens, staff and partners.

Who are we?

In rehabilitation we work towards the individual citizen becoming active and participating in their future life based on their own resources, wishes and needs – in close collaboration with relatives. You will be part of a dynamic, engaged and interdisciplinary team consisting of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, social and health care assistants, neuropsychologist, speech-language pathologist and chief physician.

We work purposefully and specialized with rehabilitation plans for the individual citizen and have focus on supporting citizens to become active participants in their own lives.

Your tasks

The tasks are assessment and rehabilitation of citizens with acquired brain injury, which can have both physical and cognitive consequences after their brain injury. We also have a strong focus on interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration.

• Assessment and rehabilitation of citizens with complex physical and cognitive consequences after acquired brain injury.
• Preparation and ongoing adjustment of individual rehabilitation plans based on the citizen's resources and goals.
• Close collaboration with the citizen and relatives throughout the process.
• Active participation in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration for a good citizen journey.

About you

We are looking for someone who

• Is professionally engaged, curious and wants to work with people with acquired brain injury and complex issues in a rehabilitative everyday life.
• Are interested in, and preferably have experience with, neurorehabilitation and complex pathways.
• Sees neuro-pedagogical strategies as a natural part of the task.
• Has good collaboration skills, thrives in team collaboration, seeks sparring and values interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Is proactive and able to plan and prioritize own tasks independently.
• Communicates and conveys clearly both orally and in writing and thrives in collaboration with citizens and relatives.
• Moves effortlessly between mono-disciplinary and interdisciplinary tasks, even when daily life requires quick shifts. At the same time you contribute actively to a good working environment together with your interdisciplinary colleagues.

It is advantageous if you have a driving license, but not a requirement, as rehabilitation for some citizens will also take place in the citizen's own home.

What can you expect?

• A close interdisciplinary collaboration with the citizen at the center and a varied daily life, where you closely follow the citizen's development.
• A thorough introduction program with professional guidance, supervision and competency development in relevant tasks.
• An workplace with focus on quality and professionalism, where work is goal-oriented with evidence-based knowledge.
• A good working environment with psychological safety, engaged colleagues, good humor and room for community.

Would you like to help set the standard for specialized neurorehabilitation? Then we look forward to hearing from you.
