While we currently operate under a remote model, we have exciting plans to open a local office as our team continues to grow. In the meantime, you’ll need to feel confident and comfortable working independently from home, with plenty of virtual support and connection along the way.

Day-to-day you will:

• Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants' homes to day centres, parks and even at the beach!
• Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work.
• Innovate and Collaborate: Whether you're dealing with complex cases, exploring new treatment approaches or facing professional challenges, you'll have a whole multidisciplinary team in your corner.

Freedom to Work Your Way
