Original job description
The Return to Work program at Lifemark Sunpark Plaza is looking for a kinesiologist to join our team!
The Lifemark RTW program provides interdisciplinary care for injured workers, in preparation for return to work. Clients are referred from WCB following workplace musculoskeletal injuries (e.g., sprains/strains, tendonitis, fractures, dislocations, etc.). The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering high quality assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, with a goal of improving function, managing symptoms, and reducing the impact of workplace injury on clients’ lives. The kinesiologist position requires working closely with an interdisciplinary team, including psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and physicians. There is also plenty of opportunities to collaborate with other kinesiologists. The successful candidate will also have potential for growth into more diverse populations including chronic health conditions in long-term disability claims, and motor vehicle accidents.
If you’re someone who thrives in a dynamic out-patient clinic, is eager to learn more, and is passionate about helping our clients get back to life, you belong here!
Location: 213 – 40 Sunpark Plaza SE, Calgary AB
Schedule: Monday to Friday
Status: Permanent Full-Time
Mandatory requirements: Registration with the Alberta Kinesiology Association is required
