• Excel in a collaborative, inter-disciplinary team environment
• Exhibit sound professional judgment

Are you the right fit?

• In some cases, Proof of Tuberculin (2-Step Mantoux Test) clearance (within 6 months)

Other Requirements:

• Clinical experience is an asset in areas such as brain injury/neurological rehabilitation, mental health, musculoskeletal/orthopedic injury, home safety, ergonomics and/or return to work.
• Passion for your profession and commitment to ongoing professional developmen
