Description

As an occupational therapist at Mission Woods, you will support children, adolescents, and adults in leading as independent a life as possible - in everyday life, at work, and in leisure time.

You will teach stroke patients techniques to dress themselves despite paralysis, or help wheelchair users with training to move more safely.

In work therapy, you will use specific exercises to help people with intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses readjust to structured daily routines.

While you work closely with doctors and other therapists, you will also have a high level of independence and responsibility.

To help your patients manage their daily lives without outside assistance, you will create an individualized therapy plan with them and implement it.

You will always keep the whole person and their personal life situation in mind.

You will put your knowledge into practice from the very beginning. In our specially equipped practice rooms, you will practice treatment techniques. Of course, you will also go out into the professional world. During your internships in medical and social facilities, you will apply what you have learned to real patients. You will also gain insight into different fields of work and make valuable contacts for your future career.
