The Role: As an Occupational Therapist in the Med/Surg/Rehab acute care units, you will assess and implement therapeutic interventions to support patients' recovery and improve their functional independence during their hospital stay. You will work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to address patients' physical, cognitive, and emotional needs, ensuring a smooth transition from acute care to rehabilitation or discharge.

  • Develop and execute individualized treatment plans to support recovery and optimize independence in activities of daily living (ADLs).

  • Provide education and training to patients and their families on adaptive techniques, assistive devices, and discharge planning strategies.

  • Collaborate closely with the healthcare team, including physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and case managers, to ensure comprehensive patient care.

  • Evaluate patient progress, adjusting treatment plans to align with evolving rehabilitation goals and medical conditions.

  • Document assessments, care plans, and progress notes in compliance with professional and organizational standards.

 

Requirements:

  • Licensed Occupational Therapist with current registration in your province or territory.

  • Experience in acute care, particularly in medical, surgical, or rehabilitation settings, is preferred.

  • Strong understanding of rehabilitative care, assistive devices, and acute-to-rehabilitation transitions.

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to effectively engage with patients, families, and multidisciplinary teams.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment while managing a diverse caseload.
