Occupational Therapist at the southern tip of Greenland

Occupational Therapist at the southern tip of Greenland!

We have something cool to offer you if you see challenges as a game. Our occupational therapist has indeed resigned,
so we need a new one here!

Assistive devices and ADL training, for children and adults in beautiful harmony. The ortho-, neuro-, psychiatric-, citizen group is versatile, you need to be flexible in your work tasks.

To gaze over fjord and mountain, perhaps a polar bear, if you are lucky. The work calls in several towns, unless you shy away from a helicopter ride. We do not have dogs and sleds, but we will gladly receive your application. Get started, shave the goat now, and seize this unique opportunity

If we are to summarize, we are looking for an occupational therapist for South Greenland. The position is split half-time in the municipality and half-time at Qaqortoq Hospital, and you will encounter all kinds of diagnoses in various categories.

We work with citizens and patients of all age groups, and the tasks include:

·rehabilitation, restorative and maintenance training

·assessment and treatment

·training in the citizen's home and at the Therapy House, and home visits with assessment and distribution of assistive devices in the municipality

At the hospital, you will handle both clinical and administrative tasks, including assessment and treatment of inpatients and outpatients, and you will participate in interdisciplinary collaboration with the hospital's other professional groups.

You will have your workday in Qaqortoq, splitting your time between the municipality and the hospital, where some tasks belong to one place and others to the other. We will of course help you navigate this. The work also involves traveling to the other towns and settlements in the municipality, both for the municipality and the hospital, and it usually lasts for a workweek. And the transportation is as previously described: helicopter, or by boat, as there are no roads between towns and settlements.

You will experience being challenged in things you have not tried before, and it requires a bit of thinking outside the box – but we help each other.

Employment conditions according to the collective agreement for occupational therapists in Greenland, which includes travel for commencement, relocation of belongings, and staff housing.
