Occupational Therapist - Community Rehabilitation

Occupational Therapist – Community based - Edmonton, Alberta.

This position sits within our Community OT Rehabilitation team and is separate from CBI Home Health's home care services.

This valued Occupational Therapist will have an opportunity to practice within a large scope through collaboration and teamwork, responsible for evaluating and supporting the clients in a holistic manner to achieve optimal quality of life. Day to day activities vary from serving clients in the community, networking and collaborating within the larger health care community and with the funder, completing reports, and solving problems/overcoming barriers to achieving the Care Goals. As part of CBI Health’s Community Rehabilitation Services (CRS) team in Alberta, you will have the opportunity to work in a growing community-based service line, initially supporting clients through WCB Alberta referrals and expanding into motor vehicle rehabilitation as Alberta’s new Care First auto insurance model comes into effect in January 2027. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and grow community OT services in Alberta while supporting clients through meaningful, goal-focused rehabilitation!

We are seeking a self-starter that is able and excited to work within urban and rural areas and has a proven ability to deliver excellence in outcomes and relationship building. This opportunity is well suited to candidates that can work independently at times, but also see the value in collaborating with many other professionals and teams to achieve the optimal outcome for the client. You will work across Edmonton and surrounding communities, with the opportunity to see the whole person in the environments where they live, work and participate!
