Job Description

Your Opportunity:
This position is based out of the Rehab Department at the Valleyview Hospital, and you would primarily be supporting Type B residents in South Valley Residence. You will be supported by two Physiotherapists and one Occupational Therapist, and you will work closely and collaboratively with two other therapy assistants. Close links and working collaboratively with teams in all departments is integral to our success in meeting patient goals. You will be required to travel between the Valleyview Hospital and South Valley Residence on a regular basis during the week, so a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle is required for this position.

This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.
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 will require 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.
