Physiotherapist – Community Care

Casual | Employee or Independent Contractor | Flexible Scheduling | Central East Region

The Care Company is a home healthcare organization dedicated to creating A Better Life for Those at Home. We support clients of all ages to live safely, independently, and with dignity in the comfort of their own homes. Our mission is to help people Make Each Day Count by delivering exceptional, person-centred care that puts people first and strives to be Better Today than we were yesterday.

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Physiotherapist (PT) to join our growing community rehabilitation team. This role is ideal for a Physiotherapist who enjoys the autonomy of managing their own community caseload while being supported by an experienced interdisciplinary team.

This is a flexible, casual opportunity that can be structured as either an employee or independent contractor position, depending on the successful candidate's preference. Whether you are looking to supplement an existing caseload, build your community practice, transition into home care, or simply enjoy the flexibility of accepting referrals that fit your schedule, we would love to hear from you.

You will work closely with clients and their families in the home, completing comprehensive assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, and implementing evidence-based interventions that improve mobility, strength, balance, endurance, and overall function. Many of the individuals we support are living with complex or chronic medical conditions and require Alternate Level of Care (ALC) services.

This is an exciting opportunity to join The Care Company as we continue to build and expand our Physiotherapy program. We are looking for therapists with an entrepreneurial mindset who are excited to help shape the future of community rehabilitation. Beyond delivering exceptional clinical care, there will be opportunities to contribute to new service development, Requests for Proposals (RFPs), quality improvement initiatives, and innovative models of care that can help expand Physiotherapy services across the community.

As our PT program continues to evolve, there will also be mentorship and leadership opportunities for therapists interested in helping shape the future of community Physiotherapy. This includes opportunities to mentor Physiotherapy students during community placements, support the development of future clinicians, assist with onboarding new therapists, and contribute to clinical resources and best practices.
