Job description

Your Opportunity:

Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Sundre has a compelling history and a promising future. Though our roots are firmly planted in farming & ranching, Sundre's personality today also includes an interesting mix of hard-working, blue-collar town and holiday-vibe tourism destination. On the industry side, much of our local business revolves around servicing the oil & gas sector, while Sundre Forest Products remains the single largest employer for the community. And atourism destination? With its proximity to the mountains and all the adventure and nature-based tourism opportunities that come with that, its first-class golf courses, and its beautiful setting on the Red Deer River, Sundre attracts both short and long-term visitors. While some use the town as a base for exploring the great West Country for a weekend or a week, others have made Sundre their summer home-away-from-home. Though our year-round population is about 2700 residents, that number swells by thousands with more than 1000 RV lots located in and around Sundre. As a place to put down your own roots, Sundre offers you: A fabulous location with easy access to larger centres such as Red Deer and Calgary. A beautifully treed riverside setting, and easy access to a Rocky Mountain playground. Trails, parks and a good variety of recreation facilities and options. Solid health services and education system, K - 12. A safe community in which to raise your family. A welcoming attitude that quickly adopts and embraces newcomers. A place that just feels like home.

Description:

As a Physiotherapist II, you will provide coordination of physiotherapy and other allied health clinical services. You will provide supervision of students and team members as assigned. You will work both independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team providing leadership to other healthcare professionals. You will be making day-to-day clinical decisions on patient/family needs regarding assessment, intervention, discharge and follow-up. You will make decisions and advise team members on complex clinical cases and provide clinical leadership within the program or service area to ensure safe, efficient and effective client care. You will ensure physiotherapy practice is evidence based and in alignment with Alberta legislation and regulations, professional standards of practice, code of ethics and AHS policy and guidelines. You will be coordinating the day-to-day operations of an assigned service area and monitoring care delivery, identifying service needs and assisting other medical staff with caseload management, completing chart audits and providing follow-up and feedback to staff. You will participate in program development and operational planning and representing the department on committees or programs.
