• Design and fabricate custom splints and support casting needs as appropriate to your training and scope of practice.

• Collaborate with surgeons, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, therapy assistants, and other interdisciplinary professionals to coordinate care.

• Support clients through return-to-work and functional rehabilitation programs.

• Educate clients and their families on recovery, injury prevention, and self-management strategies.

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation using modern tools, including e-charting and digital communication.

• Stay current with clinical best practices through continuous learning and professional development.

• Contribute to mentorship, leadership, and knowledge-sharing initiatives, as assigned.

Are You the Right Fit?

• Registered Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist in good standing with the applicable provincial regulatory college.

• Interest or experience in hand and upper extremity rehabilitation.

• Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) designation is an asset, but not required.
