Careers

Cogni Care Inc., a locally owned company operating on Southern Vancouver Island since 1999, provides community-based rehabilitation and support services. The organization was initially founded with the mission to fill gaps in available community services for people living with the outcomes of acquired brain injuries.

In 2009 we expanded our mandate to provide Occupational Therapy services and in 2018 began providing cognitive support for older adults with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia through a skilled support worker model.

We are currently inviting an Occupational Therapist (OT) join us as an independent contractor to deliver excellent community-based assessment and rehabilitation services.

This position offers:

• Friendly and reliable administrative support, handling all report submissions, billing, and contract management activities
• A skilled and experienced team of rehabilitation workers and assistants with ongoing availability to implement OT treatment plans
• A culture of continuous learning and commitment to advancing best practice led by a director with a doctorate in cognitive neuroscience and associate director who is a Ph.D. candidate specializing in knowledge mobilization
• Flexible working hours (within funding source requirements) and independence when deciding to accept or decline referrals
• Accessible and convenient virtual infrastructure and ongoing IT support

Cogni Care Inc. is part of the provider networks of most provincial funding sources, including Island Health, WorkSafeBC, and ICBC, and occasionally offers sliding scale fees for clients and families without third party funding. We welcome applications from OTs with existing networks as well as those who are earlier in the process of developing their professional practice.
