Your Opportunity:
This position primarily supports Speech-Language Pathology, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy services within an adult outpatient rehabilitation setting. Preference will be given to candidates with experience delivering adult speech, language, and cognitive-communication therapy, including virtual sessions and group-based interventions. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong clinical judgment, excellent communication and computer skills, and a genuine passion for adult neurorehabilitation. The Community Rehabilitation Interdisciplinary Service (CRIS) clinic—located at the Mother Rosalie Health Services Building (Misericordia Community Hospital), the Kaye Edmonton Clinic, and the Strathcona Community Hospital—is seeking a Therapy Assistant to support rehabilitation services for community-dwelling adults with complex and neurological conditions. This role offers the opportunity to work as part of a dynamic interdisciplinary team that includes Speech-Language Pathology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Recreation Therapy, Psychology, and Social Work. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team and under the supervision of licensed therapists. Responsibilities also include maintaining accurate clinical documentation, supporting the education of student therapy assistants, and contributing to the delivery of safe, effective, and appropriate care.
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.
