ABOUT THE NEWLY INSTITUTE


The Newly Institute was founded to provide long-lasting change within the mental health industry, our community, and with our clients. We are leading a paradigm shift in the Canadian healthcare system by building a network of purpose-built mental health clinics across Canada. By fusing a bio-psycho-social-spiritual treatment model with medically managed therapies, our intensive outpatient programs provide rapid access, rapid resolution, and rapid return to work and healthy lifestyle programs for anxiety, depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, and chronic pain.



We have an exciting opportunity for Occupational Therapists to join our multi-disciplinary clinical team as an independent contractor.



WHAT YOU WILL DO



  • Perform comprehensive OT assessments to confirm the injured worker’s current level of functional ability and activities of daily living (ADLs) through standardized testing and/or self-report, while also gathering relevant psychosocial information (e.g., mental health history, coping strategies, and trauma considerations) that may impact function and recovery.

  • Attend program rounds and case conferences to contribute assessment findings and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team (e.g., physicians, psychologists, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals) in developing recommendations and care planning.

  • Conduct return to work (RTW) planning, and 1-1 occupational therapy treatment for a range of mental health conditions.

  • Collaborate closely with colleagues, as well as third-party funders.

  • Complete detailed assessment and progress reports within 5 business days.

  • Provide such other services as may be reasonably required by the Company, and as mutually agreed upon.




WHAT YOU BRING


Experience



  • A minimum of two (2) years of experience supporting clients with mental health conditions, including assessment/triage and treatment, is required.

  • Experience working with third-party funders is an asset.

  • Experience working with pain management is an asset.


Equivalencies may be considered.



Education



  • A Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy is required.

  • Training certificates in trauma therapy, specifically Prolonged Exposure Therapy is an asset.




Professional Registration/Designation



  • An active registration with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia (CHCPBC) or other provincial association registration is required.

  • Professional liability insurance is required.




Technical Competences


Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams is required. Proficiency with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems is also required.



Background Check


Offers are conditional, subject to identity verification and clear police background checks inclusive of vulnerable sectors.



DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION


We actively protect our diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where we are empowered to show up as their authentic selves. We welcome applicants of all races, colours, places of origin, ancestries, religious beliefs, genders/gender identities/gender expressions, sexual orientations, ages, sources of income, family status, and physical and mental disabilities. Our hiring practices ensure that all qualified candidates are considered, and decisions are merit-based.
