Rocky Mountain House is a friendly, multicultural town that provides residents with an outstanding quality of life in an active community. Less than an hour west of the city of Red Deer, Rocky Mountain House is the gateway to the David Thompson Country/Recreation Area, as well as Banff and Jasper National Parks. The area is rich in outdoor recreation opportunities with camping, fishing, hiking, geocaching, golfing, sightseeing, adventure tours to name a few! The town’s slogan is “where adventure begins” for good reason! You must check out the Rocky/Nordegg Trail and the West Country for a majestic mountain experience without the congestion of the national parks. As a Therapy Assistant you will perform safe and effective patient treatment activities for individuals under the direction of the Physiotherapist. You will be involved in assisting in various interventions including strengthening and mobility programs, provision of mobility aids, therapeutic transfers, equipment maintenance and inspection. Other duties include scheduling appointments, equipment ordering and provision, inventory cleaning and maintenance, ordering supplies, and preparing treatment areas.
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.
