• Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare, Kinesiology or Business.
• Demonstrated strength in these key skills:
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Crisis Intervention
  • Case Management
  • Rehabilitation Techniques
  • Analytical Skills
  • Critical Thinking

What You Need to Succeed

• Bilingualism (French, English, both oral and written) is required to answer calls from English and French speaking clients across Canada and worldwide.
• 3‑5 years of professional experience, ideally in healthcare or case management.
• Strong analytical and decision‑making skills.
• Resilience and adaptability in fast‑paced, emotionally complex situations.
• Comfort with digital tools and multiple platforms.
• A collaborative, team‑first mindset.

Why Join Us?
