Original job description
Your Opportunity:
As a Physiotherapist on the Supportive Living Team, you will provide services to multiple Continuing Care Level B homes within the southwest part of Central Zone. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Recreation Therapy, Speech Language Pathology, Respiratory Therapy, and Therapy Assistants. Your home base will be Bremner Community Health Centre in Red Deer. You will have the support of the Allied Health Manager, Team Lead, Professional Practice Lead, and your fellow Physiotherapists. You will provide clinical direction to a Therapy Assistant and may, on occasion, be offered the opportunity to share the responsibility for mentoring Physiotherapy or Therapy Assistant students. Red Deer is located in Central Alberta near the midpoint of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor and is surrounded by Red Deer County. The Red Deer area has one of the fastest growing economies in North America and is consistently ranked as a prime location for doing business. This economic growth has created many job opportunities in the region. Red Deer is home to the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum as well as the Sunnybrook Farm Museum, Fort Normandeau (located on the banks of the Red Deer River), the Kerry Wood Nature Centre, and the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. There are several multi-use recreational centres including the Collicutt Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre and Michener Aquatic Centre and several golf courses. You’ll love living in this beautiful city which has all the amenities you could need and still offers a small town, friendly feel.
Description:
As a Physiotherapist I (PT), you will provide therapeutic interventions to enable clients to achieve optimal physical function and independence in the context of development, disease, disability, chronic conditions, illness, and functional decline. You will provide interventions, including prevention, triage, screening, assessment, diagnosis, goal setting, treatment, management, education, consultation, fostering resourcefulness, case management, referral, and transition support, to individuals, groups, populations, and communities. 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 patients and families to determine, implement, and evaluate appropriate rehabilitation strategies. You will participate in a variety of interprofessional teams to build awareness, enhance supports, and engage in quality improvement, partnering with healthcare providers, patients, families, and other stakeholders to advance services for clients. You will contribute to quality improvement and the professional community, participate in peer mentoring, and supervise students. You may provide clinical supervision to Therapy Assistants, Therapy Aides, and Provisional Physiotherapists.
