Occupational Therapist

At Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital, Occupational Therapists do more than assist with recovery, they empower patients to regain independence while navigating complex challenges. In this rehabilitative and complex care setting, you’ll have the time and resources to achieve meaningful progress with patients who need long-term, functional solutions. You’ll also have opportunities for professional growth, whether through participation in Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives or contributing to Practice Council meetings that influence best practices. As an academic teaching hospital, we are deeply committed to advancing learning, research, and innovation in patient care while contributing to the development of a broad range of health professionals. You’ll work within an interdisciplinary team where OT expertise directly informs care decisions, giving you the collaboration and clinical depth needed to make a real impact every day.

Is this you?
Are you adaptable and resourceful when it comes to patient care? In a rehabilitative and complex care setting, you will encounter unique challenges daily. Your ability to think on your feet and modify therapy approaches based on patient progress and needs will be crucial, allowing you to create tailored interventions that truly resonate with your patients.

You’re a compassionate listener who understands the importance of empathy within therapy. In this role, you will build trust with patients by actively listening and incorporating their feedback into treatment plans.
