The Gait Expertise Center in Nijmegen is an intensive collaboration between the Sint Maartenskliniek and Radboudumc. At the Sint Maartenskliniek, the focus lies on conditions such as CVA, NMA, CP, and spinal cord injury. At Radboudumc, more rare conditions are addressed, such as Parkinson's, ataxia, hereditary spasticity, and muscular diseases. The team of the Gait Expertise Center consists of highly specialized rehabilitation physicians, researchers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, and orthopedists from both institutions.

With the ZonMw topspecialistic care research grant, the Gait Expertise Center has been able to develop into a firmly positioned department within our center, where high-quality specialist care is naturally interwoven with scientific research, development, and healthy business operations. Additionally, we work together within the ICMS (Interdisciplinary Consortium of Movement Sciences) with various other leading institutions.

In this expertise center, we offer ambitious rehabilitation physicians the opportunity to further develop and become proficient in the diagnostic skills of people with complex gait problems and in collaborating with and managing a multidisciplinary team specialized in gait issues.

To achieve that:

• You will work interdisciplinarily with orthopedic surgeons on the indication and follow-up of surgical possibilities for gait problems.

• You will work in an environment with the most modern tools, such as our state-of-the-art 3D gait analysis lab, GRAIL, C-Mill, and ZERO-G for patients from across the country.

• As a rehabilitation physician, you will be part of the rehabilitation department of the Sint Maartenskliniek.

• You will receive a versatile role with a lot of responsibility and room for your own initiative.

• A contract initially for a duration of one year with the intention of permanent employment and a salary of at least € 8,868 and at most € 15,392 gross per month based on 45 hours per week (AMS).

• A package with excellent employment conditions, including a good pension scheme and free parking at the hospital. Additionally, you will benefit from excellent employment conditions including a supplement to the AMS.

• Focus on your talent and (personal) development, partly supported by our own Maartensacademie which advises and facilitates you in education, schooling, and training.

• Attention to your vitality, with an eye for your personal situation, life stage, and concrete facilities such as free sports on location.

• A beautiful workplace in a wooded environment.

• A workplace where we accept you as you are and where you may be yourself.

Do you want to work on the freedom of movement of our patients and truly help them move forward? You are in the right place with us. For 90 years, the Sint Maartenskliniek has been the specialist in the field of movement. We focus on orthopedics, rheumatology, rehabilitation, and pain management, and we are driven to remain at the forefront. With us, you work together with dedicated experts who belong to the top of their field, and you can truly deepen your expertise. At the same time, you experience the advantages of a small and clear hospital where colleagues look out for one another. Together, we commit ourselves every day to the freedom of movement of our patients. And we are proud of that!
