Job description

Occupational Therapist – Ottawa & Ottawa Valley (Pembroke/Petawawa) | Flexible Hours, Mentorship & Supportive Team

Part-Time or Full-Time | Employee or Independent Contractor | New Graduates Welcome

Renew Neurotherapy is looking for occupational therapists to join our welcoming, collaborative team in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, including Pembroke and Petawawa.

Whether you're an experienced OT looking for a supportive practice environment or a new graduate interested in developing your clinical skills, we'd love to hear from you.

We offer flexible schedules, ongoing clinical mentorship and consultation, administrative support, and opportunities to work with a varied caseload. Our goal is to provide an environment where therapists can practise with professional autonomy while feeling connected to an experienced and supportive interdisciplinary team.

We are open to different arrangements, from a small part-time caseload alongside an existing position to a more substantial full-time role. Opportunities are available in Ottawa, Pembroke, Petawawa, and surrounding communities, with the possibility of combining service areas depending on the therapist's interests and availability.

Renew Neurotherapy is a community and clinic-based practice providing occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and neurofeedback services.

Our services focus on helping clients improve their mental health, thinking, learning, and participation in everyday life.

Our occupational therapy and psychotherapy services are organized around five core areas:

• Mental Health & Emotional Regulation: Mental health, trauma, emotional regulation, adjustment, and interpersonal functioning

• Health Foundations & Self-Regulation: Stress regulation, fatigue management, activity balance, health routines, and symptom self-management

• Daily Living & Life Skills: Daily routines, organization, executive functioning, functional problem-solving, and participation at home and in the community

• Work & School Functioning: Attention, memory, planning, learning strategies, cognitive fatigue, return to work or school, and accommodations

• Sleep Disorders & Insomnia: CBT-I and behavioural sleep interventions for insomnia, sleep disruption, circadian difficulties, and related daytime fatigue

Our clients have a wide range of needs, including mental health concerns, neurodivergence, concussion or brain injury, chronic pain or illness, executive functioning difficulties, functional neurological disorder, sleep disorders, and changes in function following illness or injury.

We also provide neurofeedback therapy. OTs interested in developing skills in this area can access training and mentorship within the practice. Previous neurofeedback experience is not required.

A Flexible Clinical Role

We recognize that occupational therapists bring different experiences, interests, and professional goals to their work.

Depending on the position and client population, services may include clinic-based, community-based, and virtual care. Opportunities to develop particular areas of clinical interest are available as service demand and caseload needs allow.

What We Offer

• A warm, welcoming, and collaborative interdisciplinary team

• Ongoing clinical mentorship, consultation, and support

• Flexible scheduling, with part-time and full-time opportunities

• Employee and independent contractor options

• Opportunities to develop clinical interests within the needs of the practice

• Administrative and practice support

• Continuing professional development opportunities

• Neurofeedback training and mentorship for interested clinicians

• A practice culture that values professional autonomy, collaboration, and sustainable workloads

We value a collaborative environment where therapists have access to experienced clinicians for consultation, opportunities to discuss challenging cases, and support as they develop their clinical skills. Our goal is to provide the independence therapists value without the professional isolation that can sometimes come with community-based practice.

Qualifications

Applicants must:

• Be registered, or eligible for registration, with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario

• Demonstrate sound clinical reasoning, communication, and organizational skills

• Be comfortable working independently while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team

• Demonstrate an interest in ongoing learning and professional development

• Hold a valid Ontario driver's licence and access to a vehicle.

Experience in mental health, psychotherapy, concussion or brain injury rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation, neurodivergence, chronic pain, sleep, functional rehabilitation, or community-based occupational therapy would be an asset.

Applicants are not expected to have experience in all of these areas.

Position Details

Locations: Ottawa, Pembroke, Petawawa, and surrounding Ottawa Valley communities

Geographic coverage: Positions may focus on one area or involve travel between communities, depending on the arrangement. Travel expectations will be discussed before accepting a position.

Hours: Flexible, from part-time to full-time

Employment arrangement: Employee or independent contractor options available

Compensation:

• Full-time employees: $70,000–100,000 annually

• Hourly compensation: $45–80 per hour

Compensation varies based on clinical experience, caseload, and employment arrangement (employee or independent contractor). Part-time and full-time opportunities are available.

We welcome applications from therapists who are interested in a substantial caseload as well as those who would prefer to provide a smaller number of clinical hours.
