Job Summary

The Physiotherapist role would include performing physiotherapy assessments, monitoring intakes and reviewing assessment charts of other assessors, coordinating follow-up calls for new participants, leading group-based exercise intervention, conducting lectures and providing educational materials to volunteers and instructors, offering office hours for volunteers, compiling resources for the volunteers and participants, conducting outreach work to relevant clinics and programs, assisting with research initiatives (e.g. survey study, focus groups), and assisting with other initiatives which may require physiotherapist perspective. Leveraging expertise from the BC Brain Wellness Program, this role bridges student education with direct clinical practice; leading specialized exercise interventions for individuals with neurological conditions, mentoring kinesiology students and junior instructors, and managing clinical operations and multi-disciplinary communication.

Assessment includes physical function, balance, motor symptoms and awareness of the impact of non-motor symptoms on clients’ functional abilities. The Physiotherapist will support participants in accessing appropriate interventions that can mitigate disease progression, improve quality of life and improve function in everyday living. The clinical work may take place on campus (DMCBH, UBC Sports Med research gym, Mac Isaac Building), off-site satellite project sites (e.g. St. Paul’s Hospital, Mount St. Joseph Hospital, Youville Residence etc.), or virtual (Zoom or Jane). The Physiotherapist would be involved in the mentoring and supervision of students. Understanding of team-based care and the importance of client centred care is important. The candidate must demonstrate a strong desire and focus to provide an optimal clinical experience for the participant. Evidence informed practice and staying up to date with current evidence around the role of lifestyle-based approaches and their impact on brain health is key component of this role. Maintaining and keeping detailed records in the program electronic medical records is critical.
