Vacant job

Do you want to help develop the future of habilitation services? We are looking for a curious and creative physiotherapist to join our Adult Habilitation team.

Your workplace

Our department, covering habilitation, vision, and assistive devices, is a county-wide operation offering cross-professional and specialized interventions and assistive aids for children, young people, and adults with long-term disabilities.

At the Adult Habilitation unit, you will work alongside physiotherapists, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Discussions regarding common professional and habilitation-related issues are ongoing within and across professional boundaries. We place great emphasis on staying updated with current research in the field of habilitation and, as far as possible, basing our work on evidence-based methods.

The target groups for Adult Habilitation are individuals with autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, mobility impairments, and acquired brain injuries. Our patients have one or more of these challenges. The goal of all interventions in our operations is to optimize the ability of individuals with permanent disabilities to live as independent a life as possible, based on their own conditions.

Here, you will find driven and engaged colleagues. We have a systematic work environment management process and place significant focus on the induction and mentoring of new employees. We also conduct structured development work focusing on evidence-based interventions both individually and in groups, as well as an expanded range of e-services.

As one of the Region's health-promoting workplaces, we offer joint wellness activities and a wellness hour.

Your responsibilities

As a physiotherapist within Adult Habilitation, you will have a varied, stimulating, and independent role.

The work primarily involves interventions for patients with autism and/or intellectual disabilities, including assessment and treatment, as well as counseling, consultation, supervision, and education for people in the patient's immediate environment. The work is carried out in close collaboration with other professions within Adult Habilitation, other staff, and other authorities.

Your skills and qualifications

We are looking for you who are a licensed physiotherapist. Experience and competence within the target groups of habilitation are meritorious, as is experience working within habilitation or related operations.

You always put the patient first, are responsible, and motivated in your work. As a colleague, you are engaged, positive, and contribute to good collaboration and a good work environment. Since we are keen to find the right person for the position, we will place great emphasis on personal suitability.

A B-class driver's license is desirable as travel occurs in the role.
