Job description

The Role

Our new Cambridge location is already open and seeing patients. Referral relationships with physiotherapy and rehab clinics are in place. The caseload is growing steadily. What we need now is a skilled orthotist to take it full-time and help us expand from two days a week to five.

We're not filling a vacancy. We're looking for an Orthotist who wants to make Cambridge their home base — and help build a practice you are proud of.

In this role you’re stepping into a practice that’s already moving, backed by an established brand with locations in Guelph, Cambridge, and Orangeville. The groundwork is done. Your job is to run with it.

What Your Week Looks Like

Four days a week in Cambridge, one day a week in Guelph to oversee device fabrication and connect with the broader team. A four-day work week may be considered for the right candidate.

Our office team handles scheduling, billing, and reception. You focus on patients.

Your patient mix will cover the full range of orthotic practice:

• Pediatric bracing — SMOs, AFOs, KAFOs, scoliosis bracing, upper extremity braces, serial casting, and working with children with conditions including cerebral palsy, hypomobility, spina bifida, clubfoot, toe walking, and muscular dystrophy
• Cranial remolding helmets for infants with plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, using advanced 3D scanning
• Adult bracing for drop foot, arthritis, neuropathy, stroke, spinal disorders, and post-surgical recovery
• Custom foot orthotics
• Ongoing collaboration with physiotherapists, rehab specialists, surgeons, and physicians

Why Guelph Orthotics

We’re nimble.

The funding model has shifted. The profession is moving toward off-the-shelf and outsourced custom fabrication and in-house when necessary. We moved early by building strong relationships with advanced manufacturing partners, including 3D-printed orthotic fabricators, and those tools are part of how we work every day. You’ll have access to technology that will enhance and broaden your clinical skillset.

Pediatrics is a big part of what we do.

Our pediatric patient base continues to grow year over year. We work with families and referral partners closely and take that work seriously. If pediatric care is an area you’re drawn to, or one you want to grow in, this is a good place to do it.

Three locations – growth and momentum.

Guelph, Cambridge and Orangeville. We’ve grown because patients and referral sources trust us. That reputation is already working in your favour in Cambridge before you even walk in the door.

A team, not a solo post.

Our admin team — office manager, administrators, fellow practitioners — are experienced and in place. You come in to do orthotic work with our infrastructure as your support.

A great place to live.

Cambridge sits in the heart of the Waterloo Region — one of Ontario's most affordable mid-sized cities and a genuinely great place to raise a family. Strong schools, Grand River trails, a young and growing community, and close enough to Toronto, Guelph, and Kitchener-Waterloo that you have everything you need without big-city costs. If you're looking to put down roots somewhere that makes sense, this role was built with that in mind.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary — based on your experience and certification status
• Performance bonus and profit sharing — as Cambridge grows, you share in that
• Extended health and dental benefits
• Paid professional development and continuing education
• Flexibility to accommodate a four-day work week to better match your lifestyle
• HOOPP pension plan enrollment currently being finalized - bring your hospital pension plan with you!

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Certified Orthotist in good standing with OPC and the CBCPO. We’ll also consider an Orthotic Resident who is working toward certification (although the role will need to change slightly to accommodate this).

Beyond credentials, the right person:

• Puts the patient first — listens well, communicates clearly, and takes the time to get it right
• Is comfortable running their own caseload independently and is happy to collaborate on treatment plans
• Has genuine interest in or experience with pediatric orthotic care
• Builds and maintains referral relationships naturally, strong communication is essential
• Is curious about new fabrication technology and open to working with 3D-printed and outsourced devices
• Brings clinical pride to assessments, fittings, and follow-up — every time
