Occupational Therapist

Thinking about coming home to Nova Scotia? Ready for a role that challenges and excites you?

A workspace that is Flexible, collaborative, and growth-focused where you can finally use all of your skills and training while building a life you love.

Employment type- we are open to part time and full time employment options for the right therapist!

Why Choose Allied Therapy? If you're an Occupational Therapist in Nova Scotia or hoping to return home, this is your opportunity to step into the career you envisioned when you chose this profession.

We know what holds many great Occupational Therapists back:

"I'm comfortable where I am, but not really growing."
"What if I make a move and it's not what I expected?"
"Will I actually be supported to become the therapist I want to be?"

Here’s what we want you to know- At Allied Therapy, we do things differently.

We are a growing, dynamic team without a glass ceiling. Whether you’re new to the field or experienced, we’ll help you build your confidence, skill set, and career with flexibility and a culture that lets you think for yourself and fully use your scope of practice.

What Makes This Role Different?

Flexibility and balance - work in the community, in clinic, and virtually.
No cookie-cutter therapy - use your full training, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, and create real solutions for families.
Growth and development - weekly professional development, mentorship, and support to help you become an exceptional OT.
A team that is growing securely and intentionally - real opportunities to shape how we serve Nova Scotia families.
A fun and collaborative work environment - where your voice is heard and your work is appreciated.

What You’ll Be Doing

Use all aspects of your training to support children and families in a variety of settings- community, clinic, and virtual.
Design individualized care plans that focus on creative, functional solutions.
Collaborate with SLPs, OTs, and BCBAs to support complex cases.
Participate in weekly professional development and monthly team meetings to share knowledge and stay current.
Occasionally provide community education sessions to share best practices and raise awareness.

What We’re Looking For

Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy.
Registered and in good standing with the Nova Scotia Occupational Therapy Regulator (NSOTR).
Passion for working with children and families, and a creative approach to therapy.
Knowledge of ADHD, sensory processing, and trauma-informed care, with a commitment to ongoing learning.
Strong clinical reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Computer literacy and willingness to use tools like JaneApp.
Clear Criminal Record Check, Child Abuse Registry, and valid driver’s license.

Bonus skills (optional but valued): Fluency in French, Arabic, Cantonese, or other languages to better serve our diverse community.

How You’ll Know You’re Succeeding

You feel challenged and supported in your role and are building confidence as an OT.
Families feel heard and engaged in their therapy journey because of your personalized approach.
You are actively involved in learning, growing your skills through professional development and mentorship.
You are part of a positive, energetic team where your ideas and input are valued.

Why Allied Therapy Is Different

"I’m comfortable where I am." But are you learning and using your full potential? Here, you will be supported to stretch your skills and grow, while still having the flexibility and respect you deserve.

"What if I leave and regret it?" We understand. That’s why we focus on secure growth and a supportive team environment, where you have mentorship and a clear path to success - no guessing, no floundering.

"Will I actually get meaningful professional development?" Absolutely. We don’t just say we value growth- it’s built into our schedule. Weekly professional development, one-on-one support, and ongoing mentorship are part of how we operate.
