Director of Physiotherapy & Performance Rehabilitation
Location: Saskatoon, SK
Position Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: $115,000–$130,000+ (based on experience and leadership capability)
At Principle Athletic Performance, we believe rehabilitation should do more than return people to activity, it should return them to performance.
We are building a multidisciplinary performance facility where physiotherapy, physical preparation, and long-term athlete development work together to create exceptional outcomes for athletes and active individuals.
We're seeking an ambitious and experienced physiotherapist to join our leadership team as our Director of Physiotherapy & Performance Rehabilitation.
This is more than a clinical leadership role.
This is an opportunity to build, lead, and grow an entire department while helping shape the future of one of Saskatchewan's emerging performance organizations.
You'll work directly alongside the Owner and Director of Performance to establish clinical standards, develop systems, recruit and mentor future clinicians, build referral relationships, and drive the continued growth of rehabilitation services.
If you're excited by the opportunity to build something meaningful instead of simply maintaining the status quo, we'd love to meet you.

Drive Business Growth

- Build relationships with physicians, surgeons, coaches, sport organizations, and community partners.
- Identify opportunities for new services and programs that enhance client outcomes and organisational growth.

Who You Are
