Original job description

Your Opportunity:

As a Recreation Therapy Assistant, you will work both independently and as part of an interprofessional team under the direction and supervision of a Recreation Therapist, other allied health professionals and nursing team. Your primary responsibility is to support the planning, facilitation, documentation, and evaluation of therapeutic recreation and leisure programs for older adults in supportive living or long-term care. You will support residents with dementia, complex health conditions, and other cognitive, emotional, or physical challenges, helping to promote engagement, social connection, and overall well-being through person-centered recreation interventions. Facilitate and adapt one-to-one, small group, and large group therapeutic recreation programs based on residents’ goals, abilities, and preferences. Participate in program planning, offering input based on resident interests, observations, seasonal events, and best practices in therapeutic recreation. Encourage resident involvement and foster a sense of belonging through engaging and inclusive leisure activities. Share observations and insights to support ongoing assessment, care planning, and interdisciplinary communication. Implement programs in collaboration with the Recreation Therapist and team. Document and chart according to ALA policies, standards, and procedures, ensuring accurate, timely, and confidential recording of resident participation and progress toward goals. Contribute to resident assessments and care conferences by sharing observations and insights related to leisure engagement, well-being, and quality of life. In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Fort McMurray Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $12,480. This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.

Description:

As a Therapy Assistant, you will work both individually and as part of an interprofessional team under the assignment, monitoring and evaluation of an audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, recreation therapist or speech-language pathologist. You will contribute to effective and efficient rehabilitation services including direct and indirect client care across the health care continuum (healthy living, getting better, living with illness and disability, end of life care) for all ages as well as non-client service provision. This role will require you to work effectively with internal and external partners, and display professionalism and strong ethics in both client centered care and participation in care teams. You will demonstrate evidence of reflective thinking and lifelong learning that enhances individual and team competency. You will have opportunities to use your interpersonal and clinical skills in contributing to quality improvement, program planning and student supervision.
