At Find Your Way Therapy Services, we believe in helping people find their way—no assumptions, just compassionate, person-centered care that meets participants where they are and helps them get where they want to go.

We’re growing our paediatric team and looking for an Occupational Therapist who loves working with children and helping them learn a new skill, conquer a fear, or join in the game.

 What’s in it for you?

As part of our team, you’ll have the chance to lead by example, mentor our newer team members, and be a key voice as we grow. Join us to work in a team where ideas are welcomed, questions are encouraged and we make sure we’ve got each other’s backs.
