• Providing care to complex pediatric clients (neurological and musculoskeletal conditions), supervising PTAs within children's homes and schools, and building therapy care plans with equipment recommendations based on developmental, safety, and functional needs.
• Acting as a pediatric client advocate by facilitating partnerships between families, schools, and healthcare systems to ensure clients can participate fully in school and community activities and engage successfully with the curriculum.

This position aligns with your practice if you:

• Enjoy flexibility and autonomy over your schedule
• Want to make a lasting impact in a child's life
• Have a passion for working with children
• Value collaboration within a high-performing, lifelong-learning team led by an experienced PT

The successful Physiotherapist will:

• Hold current active registration with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario in good standing
• Preferably have pediatric experience
• Be an ADP Authorizer or willing to be trained as one
• Possess knowledge of relevant legislation, regulations, and policies
• Understand principles of reflective practice

• Manage time and workload effectively
• Ensure proper documentation
• Work flexibly and adaptively within a dynamic environment
• Have the physical ability to perform the duties required
• Possess a valid Driver’s License and reliable insured vehicle
• Have a Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS) within 12 months of hire (or in process) and a current Criminal Records Check
