Ever wanted to be the OT who helps to build something from the ground up, not just walk in someone else's shoes?
We're looking for our founding Occupational Therapist to join the Isabella Able family!
Whether you're an experienced OT or a new graduate starting your career, if you're passionate about building genuine relationships with participants, celebrating the little wins (and the big ones!), and helping shape a new OT service, this could be the perfect role for you.
This is a role where your ideas are valued, your work makes a real difference, and no two days are the same. You won't be starting from zero, there's already a waitlist and a supportive team ready to go. What's missing is you, and your ideas for how our OT services should run.
We'd love to meet you.
