Occupational Therapist (m/f/d) Wedel — Growing Department with Room to Shape

Wedel
Full or part-time
Permanent employee
20 - 26 € per hour

Job description

Location: Wedel Rosengarten (next to Wedel S-Bahn station) Employment: Full-time or part-time (20, 25, 30 or 38 hours) Pay: €20–26/hour (depending on experience and qualifications)

You want to do real occupational therapy — not just keep kids occupied, not just manage clients, not just get worn down between paperwork and rushed sessions? You want a practice where occupational therapy is taken seriously for what it is: an independent, effective form of therapy with genuine room to shape your work?

Then keep reading.

Therapiezentrum Wedel is an interdisciplinary family business with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and rehabilitation sports all under one roof. Since 1996. 31 people on the team. Spread across 800 m² over two floors, right next to Wedel S-Bahn station in the Ärztehaus Rosengarten medical center.

Our occupational therapy department is growing — and you can help shape it. We're actively investing in training, specializations, rooms and materials. That means: you're not stepping into a rigid structure. You're stepping into an area where your input matters, where your specialization is supported, and where your professional profile shapes the profile of our department.

With us, you'll work across the full spectrum of occupational therapy — from pediatrics through sensory integration and neurology to geriatrics and hand/orthopedic therapy. Whichever focus interests you most, or whichever direction you want to grow in, we'll shape together. Whatever you need to get there — training, materials, space, professional guidance — you'll get it.

Your responsibilities:

  • Treat clients from infants to the elderly with real therapeutic depth
  • Design your therapies independently — your clients, your methods, your judgment
  • Bring your specialization actively into the development of our occupational therapy department
  • Work interdisciplinarily with physio and speech therapy colleagues — a real advantage, especially with complex cases
  • Support parents and family members in integrating therapy into everyday life
  • Write reports using modern software, voice input and AI support — during the workday, not after hours
  • Use internal case discussions to think through cases together instead of carrying them alone
  • Take on professional responsibility in your area of focus

Qualifications

What you need:

  • Completed training or degree as an occupational therapist
  • Desire to help build and shape a growing department
  • A high standard for effective, client-centered therapy
  • Independence paired with team spirit
  • Commitment, reliability and an open, collaborative attitude

Nice to have, but not required:

  • Focus or experience in pediatrics, neurology, geriatrics, hand/orthopedic therapy or sensory integration
  • Additional qualifications such as SI therapy, Bobath, Affolter, Perfetti, CMOP-E or mirror therapy
  • Experience in interdisciplinary collaboration
  • A clear vision of where you'd like to deepen your practice (we'll fully fund whatever you're missing)
  • Driver's license for home visits (not required, but helpful)

Also expressly welcome: career starters hungry for development, returners after parental leave, and those leaving a current practice where occupational therapy feels like a side note.

Further information

Real development, not empty promises

  • 100% of continuing education costs covered — we actively invest in building your specializations
  • Travel costs for further training covered

  • Diverse specialty areas under one roof — pediatrics, neurology, geriatrics, hand/orthopedic therapy, SI
  • Room to actively help build and shape your specialization

Materials & spaces that match your standards

  • 800 m² of bright practice rooms across two floors
  • Therapy rooms designed for occupational therapy — not improvised
  • Active investment in materials and equipment for your focus area
  • Missing something important? Tell us — we'll review and procure, instead of leaving you to improvise

Fair pay & real time off

  • €20–26 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
  • 31 vacation days
  • Pay based on working hours — not on therapy units
  • €40 monthly capital-forming benefits (Vermögenswirksame Leistungen)
  • €50 monthly material expense allowance
  • Subsidy for the Deutschlandticket (public transport)

Modern work that doesn't slow you down

  • iPad for every team member
  • Reports and documentation via voice input
  • AI support for tedious tasks — a real lever, especially for the often lengthy occupational therapy reports
  • Back office handles cancellation invoices, scheduling chaos and bureaucracy

A team that supports you — and grows with you

  • Family business with a genuine sense of "we"
  • Interdisciplinary case discussions with physio, occupational and speech therapy — occupational therapy as an equal part of the team
  • Independent therapy design — no rigid work instructions
  • Fixed breaks, predictable weeks, no shift roulette
  • Full-time (38 hours), part-time at 20, 25 or 30 hours, mornings only or 3-day week
  • Regular team outings

A location that just works

  • A few steps from Wedel S-Bahn station
  • Located in the Ärztehaus Rosengarten — short distances, good connections to Hamburg, Pinneberg, Uetersen, Rissen
