About this position Become an Occupational Therapist with Interior Health
This position is to provide coverage until August 2026 or return of the incumbent. The Kimberley PCN is part of the East Kootenay Primary Care Network, a community based, team based model designed to provide coordinated, person centred primary health care close to home. Within this collaborative environment, you work alongside family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and a range of allied health professionals to support patients across the lifespan. As an Occupational Therapist, your scope focuses on enabling individuals to participate more fully in everyday life by addressing functional challenges related to physical health, mental wellness, chronic disease, stress management, and overall wellbeing.

This role emphasizes collaboration, prevention, and health promotion, allowing you to make a meaningful impact within a close knit community while practicing to your full scope in primary care.

About this location:
Kimberley is a picturesque alpine community nestled in the heart of the Kootenay Rockies, offering an exceptional balance of lifestyle, nature, and connection. Known for its friendly small‑town feel and strong sense of community, Kimberley is a place where people truly know their neighbours. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the area for year‑round recreation, including world‑class skiing and snowboarding at Kimberley Alpine Resort, as well as hiking, biking, golfing, and fishing in the warmer months. The historic downtown features charming Bavarian‑inspired architecture, local shops, cafés, and a vibrant arts and culture scene. With shorter commutes, access to essential services, and a slower pace of life, Kimberley makes it easy to enjoy both your career and your time outside of work. It’s an ideal location for those seeking meaningful work, outdoor adventure, and a close‑knit community to call home.
