Job Description

Are you an OT interested in pediatrics and looking for a relaxed, sustainable and supportive workplace? Come join Team Shine!

Shine Therapy Services is a bright and cheerful clinic next to Mount Boucherie on the unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan people in West Kelowna. I'm very passionate about letting therapists have autonomy and making sure no one is overworked (no more charting progress notes all evening when you get home from work or having a long day jam packed with back to back sessions!) Whether you've worked in pediatrics before or not, you'll be set up with a mentor for monthly meetings, have access to MedBridge for online courses and get a separate fund for continuing education of your choice. You have freedom to use your clinical reasoning and decide how many sessions individual kids need, as well as what you do during those sessions.

There is access to a large shared play gym and a private treatment area. New grads or new-to-peds OTs will have the option of regular mentorship with a senior OT and online courses provided by Shine Therapy Services. The successful applicant has the option to design the Shine OT service based on their special interest areas! You'll build your caseload when you start but we already have a few kids on a wait list :)

Compensation

The role will be a contractor taking 50% of treatment income.

- Conduct pediatric OT assessments
- Develop personalized treatment plans based on the child's individual needs and goals
- Provide therapeutic interventions unique to the child's individual needs and goals
- Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for the child

- Provide education and support to children and their families

Requirements
- You must hold a Masters degree in Occupational Therapy and be registered with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC

Accessibility and safety
- There is a ramp and accessible parking within a few meters of the clinic front door.
- The front door does not open automatically (hoping to get this in the future)
- There is a wheelchair accessible, gender neutral bathroom
