The program incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) components.

We are currently looking to hire Occupational Therapists across Nova Scotia to work with clients in their geographical area. This is an independent contractor role, and does not guarantee any specific number of referrals or hours.

  • Successful completion of an entry to practice Occupational Therapy program
  • Registration with the appropriate Occupational Therapy regulatory organization
  • Minimum 1 year experience in Mental Health sector providing psychotherapy and / or counseling for individuals with common mental disorders (depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, )
  • Certification and / or experience in CBT and MI techniques
  • Experience in RTW counseling for clients on short-term / long-term disability, and / or WSIB claims. This should include RTW facilitation and / or work focused treatment
  • Exceptional customer service delivery and client-centered care
  • Demonstration of strong problem-solving skills
  • Strong organizational and time management skills
  • Excellent computer skills
  • Ability to work independently as well as to contribute actively to team or treatment plan objectives
  • Take responsibility for actions and decisions
  • Excellent command of English language, both verbal and written – French language skills would be an asset
  • Why work with us

    We are driven by our values and are passionate about improving lives. We offer competitive wages and professional development opportunities, along with opportunities to engage with a community of clinicians from a variety of professional backgrounds across Canada who are part of our community of practice.
