About the Role

The Occupational Therapist provides comprehensive, person-centred care within a primary care and community health setting, supporting individuals across the lifespan to participate in meaningful daily activities and achieve optimal health and independence. Working as part of an interdisciplinary team, the Occupational Therapist addresses both physical and mental health needs through assessment, intervention, health promotion, disease prevention, rehabilitation, and community development initiatives.

This role focuses on helping clients improve function, safety, mobility, and quality of life by addressing the interaction between the person, their environment, and their daily occupations. The Occupational Therapist supports a diverse client population, including seniors, children, individuals with chronic diseases, disabilities, mental health concerns, and those requiring assistance with aging in place.

Key responsibilities include conducting assessments; developing and implementing individualized intervention plans; providing education and support to clients, families, and caregivers; completing home visits and community outreach activities; supporting falls prevention initiatives; prescribing adaptive equipment and assistive devices; facilitating access to disability benefits and accommodations; and collaborating with internal and external partners to coordinate care and improve health outcomes.

The Occupational Therapist also contributes to program development, quality improvement initiatives, health promotion activities, case conferences, data collection and evaluation, policy development, and community-based programming. The position requires strong clinical judgment, the ability to work independently in community settings, and a commitment to collaborative, interdisciplinary practice.
