This position offers a high degree of autonomy and the opportunity to define and grow the OT role in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team. The work is meaningful, relationship-based, and at times challenging—requiring strong clinical judgment, adaptability, and a commitment to meeting people where they’re at.

What You’ll Do

- Support residents through individualized OT assessment and intervention

- Two years of recent, related experience.
- Eligible for membership in the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT).

- Grounded, collaborative, and able to build strong therapeutic relationships

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to do impactful work with a population that is often underserved in traditional care models. You’ll have the space to bring your clinical expertise, creativity, and initiative to a role where you can truly make a difference.

This role is well-suited to a clinician who values autonomy, is motivated to build and improve systems of care, and is energized by working with individuals whose needs may not fit traditional long-term care models.
