Bayshore Medical Personnel is excited to announce a Contract opportunity for an Occupational therapist with one (1) year of experience to join the team in Gagetown, New Brunswick. We're looking for dedicated professionals to make a meaningful impact in Military Health Services!

This is an exciting opportunity for an Occupational Therapist (more Mental Health Focused) who is looking for a Monday - Friday career opportunity with day shifts only (no nights, no weekends), and who is ready for an exciting challenge working with an extremely unique and rewarding patient population!!!

Occupational therapists work with ill and/or injured military personnel to reduce/eliminate barriers impacting participation in valued roles and routines in order for the member to attain optimal potential. Valued roles and routines are what military personnel want to do and are expected to do and can be considered ‘occupation’. The occupational therapist’s role is twofold: (1) direct one to one or group time to assess and treat military personnel with varying levels of injury or illness and (2) consult/advise regionally with medical authorities on the area of occupational therapy practice and, if necessary, provide oversight of regional or local occupational therapy services.
