About the role

As a physiotherapist, you will be part of a team alongside occupational therapists, nurses, and care staff. Together, you are tasked with providing quality of life. You see each individual and have the ability to understand what each person needs.

In the role of physiotherapist, you will work with the residents to find the best ways to utilize their own abilities in daily life. You support and motivate individuals to develop and maintain their mobility.

This often involves assessing/treating the residents' mobility issues and disabilities. It also means you will select and prescribe medical aids. You also work preventively by training other staff in transfer techniques to avoid strain injuries.

Thanks to you, those who live with us can maintain their lifestyle and habits. At the same time, you develop valuable knowledge about care, service, and aging.
