About the role

We are reviewing how we organize rehabilitation work at our elderly care homes, with the goal of hiring our own physiotherapists and occupational therapists. We want to create even better opportunities for a continuous, present, and coordinated approach to support both residents and staff.

You will be based in three elderly care homes within Vardaga and be an important part of the team around our care recipients. Here, you will find colleagues with great commitment and experience – who look forward to working with you to create a safe and active daily life for our residents. In the role of occupational therapist and physiotherapist, you will work with the residents to find the best ways to utilize their own abilities in daily life. You will support and motivate individuals to develop and maintain their physical, cognitive, and social abilities. Often, this means that you:

• make assessments and adapt the daily environment.
• test and prescribe physical and cognitive aids.
• provide guidance to your colleagues in rehabilitative efforts, approaches, transfer techniques, etc.
• maintain contact with the residents' relatives
