Edmonton Alberta PJ, Edmonton region, Canada Alberta Health Services Full time

Addiction & Mental Health Housing (AMH Housing) is a fast paced and growing area within the AMH portfolio (soon to be Recovery Alberta). We currently partner with several agencies in the Edmonton zone to provide a broad range of clinical services to the clients who reside in both our transitional and long-term housing sites. We are looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our teams that currently support a group of sites operated by E4C. This position would function on a flexible, campus style model with The Lodge at Elizabeth House being the home base. The position is both a consultative and case management position with room for the clinician to develop their own style of providing service across sites. It works closely with an interdisciplinary team. It also works closely with agency site managers/ staff and requires an ability to collaborate with each site in care planning and service delivery. Our larger housing team has an experienced group of Occupational Therapists who support each other and there is opportunity for Clinical Supervision within our larger portfolio. Service delivery ranges across the spectrum of OT interventions. Sites would connect with the OT to discuss a client, and the OT would decide how to proceed based on their professional assessment. Our priority is to provide clinical mental health and addiction support to residents; however, tasks can include mental health assessments, risk assessments, equipment assistance, functional and cognitive assessments and providing feedback to the team in case conferences. There is opportunity to partner with other professions to provide group activities as well.

You will include clients and families as integral members of the health care team, encouraging their active participation in all aspects of care. You will collaborate with clients and families in determining, implementing, and evaluating rehabilitation. You will participate in a variety of interprofessional teams to build awareness, enrich support and engage in quality improvement by partnering with healthcare providers, patients, families, and other stakeholders to advance services for the clients.
