Serving Communities Across Southern Vancouver Island (Victoria, Western Communities, and Cowichan)
Are you looking for a role that values your clinical expertise while offering the freedom of the West Coast lifestyle? SuccessAbility Canada Inc. is expanding.
We are a therapist-led organization dedicated to community-based rehabilitation. We're currently looking for an independent, driven Occupational Therapist to join us in supporting clients across Vancouver Island. This specific role is geared toward pediatric care, focusing on early intervention (0–6 years) and school-aged development (6–18 years). There is potential additional work with the broader community completing ICBC recovery caseloads and other community-based OT work across the lifespan (pediatric and adult). Whether you're a seasoned clinician or a motivated new grad, we provide the infrastructure so you can focus on the therapy.
Why work with SuccessAbility?

- Environmental Optimization: Recommending equipment and home, school, or work modifications to improve safety and independence.
- Advocacy & Navigation: Acting as the bridge between clients, such as schools, families, hospitals, and employers to facilitate healthy, sustainable transitions.
