Occupational Therapist - Direct

Assisted Living Alberta is dedicated to enhancing care in the community, helping people/families be healthy, well and independent in their homes and communities. Edmonton Zone Continuing Care provides services through five main program areas:
Home Living, Supportive Living, Facility Living, Transition Services and Specialty Programs. The Specialty Programs portfolio includes Children’s Home Care (CHC). CHC is a multidisciplinary team with RN, SW, RT, PT, OT, SLP and TAs collaborating and delivering services to children from birth – 18 years old with a wide variety of medical and/or developmental needs/conditions, including palliative care. The CHC program serves the Edmonton Zone, and frequently collaborates with suburban/rural Home Living partners to provide quality care.

CHC has an opportunity available for an Occupational Therapist (OT). As an OT for CHC, you will act as both a Case Manager (CM) and a direct care provider, using a family-centered approach to practice, coaching, assessing, organizing, and communicating. The case management duties include ongoing assessment and identification of the unmet needs of the child/family. In collaboration with the client/family and other partners, and using appropriate internal and external resources, the CM develops a care plan for supports and services that is modified, based on the client’s response to the interventions.

As an Occupational Therapist (OT), you will provide evidence-informed services, with a focus on occupational performance, designed to meet the needs of individuals, groups, and communities. You may act as a direct service provider, consultant, educator, or advocate and function as an integral member of the healthcare team. You will engage individuals, groups, and communities to enable meaningful and chosen occupations, including self-care, productivity, and leisure.

You will support clients in achieving optimal functional abilities and independence related to their cognitive, affective, spiritual, and physical strengths and limitations. As an OT, you will provide comprehensive services, including triage, screening, consultation, assessment, diagnosis, collaborative goal setting, treatment, prevention, self‑management, education, case management, referral, transition support, and collaboration with relevant stakeholders and supports within the client's physical, institutional, cultural, and social environments.

You will include clients and families as integral members of the healthcare team, encouraging their active participation in all aspects of care. You will collaborate with clients and families to determine, implement, and evaluate rehabilitation plans. You will participate in a variety of interprofessional teams to build awareness, enhance supports, and engage in quality improvement by partnering with healthcare providers, patients, families, and other stakeholders to advance services for clients.

You will contribute to quality improvement and the professional community and participate in peer mentoring and student supervision. You may also provide clinical supervision to Therapy Assistants and Therapy Aides.
