Meridian Rehabilitation Consulting Inc Hiring for Occupational Therapist Full Time

Meridian Rehabilitation is hiring for our Vernon team! We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who is interested in a caseload consisting of both pediatric and adult clients.

Meridian Rehabilitation Consulting is an employee-owned, OT-founded, multi-disciplinary company founded in 2005. Our team includes OTs, SLPs, Kinesiologists, Rehabilitation Assistants, and administrative support staff. Meridian has clinics in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops and Vancouver. We are currently looking for an new or experienced OT for our Vernon office who shares our desire for excellence and who will enjoy being part of a growing team that is actively seeking new opportunities.

Meridian Rehab is unique in the range and depth of the therapy services we provide to our clients. Our practice areas include:

• Neuro-rehabilitation
• Pediatric therapy
• Physical rehabilitation
• Mental health
• Return-to-work services
• Ergonomics
• Case management
• Functional Capacity Evaluation
• Driver assessment and rehabilitation

As part of our pediatric therapy model, we place a high value on working with families, not just the child seeking support. Using a parent coaching model, we integrate parents, families, caregivers, and support staff into therapy sessions and teach them the necessary skills to effect change outside of treatment sessions. Using this model, we empower parents and caregivers to be able to work with their child effectively to implement recommended therapy plans and achieve identified goals now and into the future. As a community provider, we deliver treatment in a variety of settings according to the needs of the family; sessions may occur in the family home, in the community, in the clinic, or via telehealth.

Our Vernon clinic is conveniently located in the heart of the North Okanagan where the moderate, yet distinct seasons give the Okanagan the best climate in Canada: summers are perfect for lake swimming, hiking, mountain biking, and boating while winter brings great snow to the ski resorts and rarely dips below -5 at town elevation. Vernon is also the perfect size, providing the conveniences of a city with 10-minute commutes.

Our team is a close-knit group who have a passion for developing excellent therapy services. We are looking for OT colleagues who share our desire for excellence and who will enjoy being part of a team that is actively seeking innovative ways to deliver therapy. We encourage both experienced therapists, who are open to exploring new ways to practice, and new graduates to apply.

Additional benefits of this position include:

• Guaranteed full time hours and autonomy of your schedule and practice areas.
• Emphasis on staff professional development including weekly mentorship, opportunities for coaching, and workshops.
• Stability of Employee vs. Sub-Contract model
• Medical and Dental Benefit program
• Team meetings
• Paid administrative time
