Physical Therapy Resident - Mentorship Opportunity

Are you a PT RESIDENT looking for true MENTORSHIP? Do you get excited when you learn and grow and want to become one of the best physical therapists?

Would you like one-on-one training weekly by top physical therapists in the profession who have a successful track record mentoring Canadian and internationally-trained physical therapists into full licensure? We have the position you have been looking for!

Saskatchewan has changed full licensure to a Practice-Based Assessment in lieu of the cancellation of the Clinical component of the PCE. We have successfully mentored three internationally-trained PT’s to full licensure in the past two years.

About our company:
We are a physical therapy clinic in Estevan, Saskatchewan that focuses on helping individuals return to activities they love, through movement, exercise, self-management techniques, and education.

We provide an exceptionally high level of care for our clients and have an excellent rating by them who time and again return for new injuries or send their friends and families for our care.  Our wait list continues to grow and we need to expand our team to meet the needs of our community. We have a very well-respected staff and use the Functional Movement Systems model.

Southeast Physiotherapy emphasizes:

• Complete focus on one patient at a time, as we see each patient for 30-60 minutes of one-on-one treatments.

• Being able to see 8-12 patients a day. Go home feeling energized, not exhausted.

• You will never be double-booked or treating more than two people per hour.

• Mentorship by the top physical therapists in the area with over 40+ years of combined experience weekly.

• You get to use your talents and passion to make a difference in people’s lives every day.

• Looking for a community to work for, not a corporation.

• Opportunity to work in a supportive environment with an amazing culture.
