Specialist in Geriatric Medicine, Geriatric Rehabilitation

Help build the future of recovery-oriented care
Do you, as a specialist in geriatric medicine, want to be more than just a practitioner? Are you looking for a role in which you can combine medical expertise with innovation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the development of a new care environment? Then we have a wonderful challenge for you.

At Zuyderland Care, we work daily to provide the best possible care for vulnerable elderly people. We do this through a wide range of care services, varying from living and treatment to geriatric rehabilitation, primary residential care, and hospice care. Due to the intensive collaboration between elderly care and the hospital, we possess unique opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and scientific research.

In January 2027, we will take an important step in the further development of our geriatric rehabilitation. The department will move from the hospital to the Glana care center in Geleen. This will create a renewed environment in which recovery-oriented care is central, and in which you can contribute your ideas from the start regarding the further design and development of care. A unique opportunity to truly exert influence on the care of tomorrow.

Your new job
As a specialist in geriatric medicine, you fulfill a central role in the recovery process of clients who require temporary extra support following an illness, surgery, or hospital admission. You look beyond the medical diagnosis alone and, together with the client and their loved ones, focus on what is truly important: recovery of functioning, independence, and quality of life.

You hold ultimate medical responsibility and work closely with a dedicated multidisciplinary team consisting of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, dietitians, nurses, and other practitioners. Thanks to this collaboration, you can provide clients with integral guidance throughout their recovery process.

Furthermore, the move to Glana offers a unique opportunity to help build a future-proof rehabilitation environment. Your ideas, expertise, and initiative are of great value in this regard. You will be given the space to actively contribute to innovations, quality improvement, and the further development of recovery-oriented care within Zuyderland.
