Join our Recreation Therapy Department at Ashcroft & District Hospital, where we prioritize resident well-being and foster a supportive community.

Your Role

As a Recreation Therapy Worker Bus Driver, you will be an important member of the interdisciplinary team, supporting residents’ physical, social, emotional and recreational well-being through meaningful leisure and recreation activities. You will implement established individual and group recreation therapy programs, lead activities such as arts and crafts, music, cooking, gardening, sports and exercise, and adapt programs to meet residents’ individual needs and abilities. You will also accompany residents on community outings, help organize special events, encourage participation and create a welcoming, engaging environment that promotes connection, enjoyment and quality of life.

Plus, we offer competitive wages, shift premiums, employer-paid training, and an Employee & Family Assistance Program to support you every step of the way.
