Your Opportunity:
Adult Day Programs (ADP) are a critical part of the Alberta Home and Community Care program. Under the Home Care Service Guidelines, they are identified as a respite service; however, they provide a range of services to both clients and their caregivers. ADPs are designed for adult clients who may have physical and/or memory challenges or are living with a chronic illness. They provide purposeful activities that meet the interrelated needs and interests of clients and provide support, respite and education to their informal care givers. As such, they play a key role in allowing clients to remain living in the community as long as possible, optimizing their level of physical, spiritual, social, and emotional function.
Description:
As a Therapy Assistant, you will work both individually and as part of an interprofessional team under the assignment, monitoring and evaluation of an audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, recreation therapist or speech-language pathologist. You will contribute to effective and efficient rehabilitation services including direct and indirect client care across the health care continuum (healthy living, getting better, living with illness and disability, end of life care) for all ages as well as non-client service provision. This role will require you to work effectively with internal and external partners, and display professionalism and strong ethics in both client centered care and participation in care teams. You will demonstrate evidence of reflective thinking and lifelong learning that enhances individual and team competency. You will have opportunities to use your interpersonal and clinical skills in contributing to quality improvement, program planning and student supervision.
