Discover your dream Occupational Therapy career in Yellowknife with a 1-year term opportunity - We are seeking Occupational Therapists who crave to change lives by day and chase the northern lights by night.

This is a step in your career journey where adventure, autonomy, and altruism align.

You will step into a role that blends professional purpose with northern wonder. From state-of-the-art hospital facilities to community-based care, you'll support Northerners in the city of Yellowknife.

What You Do:
Empower people through function and independence: Deliver a full scope of occupational therapy services-from assessments and therapeutic interventions to education, counselling, and referrals-for clients navigating developmental, cognitive, physical, or mental health challenges.

Work across a range of settings: Your work will take you from inpatient and outpatient care to homes, schools, and community spaces. No two days are ever the same.

Collaborate with a close-knit team: Be supported by a territorial manager and an integrated team of adult and pediatric OTs, rehab assistants, OT aides, and a program administrative assistant.

Lead your own caseload with purpose and flexibility: Thrive in a collaborative environment that values autonomy, and where your professional judgment is trusted and respected.

This level of knowledge is typically acquired through the successful completion of a master's degree in occupational therapy. Equivalent combinations of education and experience will be considered.
