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 as a tourism 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 centers 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 Therapy Assistant, you will work both individually and as part of an interprofessional team under the assignment, monitoring, and evaluation of an audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, recreation therapist, or speech-language pathologist. You will contribute to effective and efficient rehabilitation services, including direct and indirect client care across the health care continuum (healthy living, getting better, living with illness and disability, end of life care) for all ages as well as non-client service provision. This role requires you to work effectively with internal and external partners, and display professionalism and strong ethics in both client-centered care and participation in care teams. You will demonstrate evidence of reflective thinking and lifelong learning that enhances individual and team competency. You will have opportunities to use your interpersonal and clinical skills in contributing to quality improvement, program planning, and student supervision.
