Forty-five minutes outside of Grande Prairie lies the rural town of Spirit River. The town offers many advantages of living in a quieter area serving many farming and industry services. At the same time, it is only 45 minutes away from Grande Prairie with a variety of outdoor and indoor recreation opportunities and a multitude of dining and shopping prospects. With the recent Grande Prairie Regional Hospital opening, there is a variety of career options and specialization available for the career minded individual. The Recreation Therapy Aide assists with the promotion of a comprehensive service for clients developing and implementing evidence based, client-centered practice based on therapeutic recreation standards of practice. This is a agile program with a high degree of independence. The successful candidate needs to demonstrate a track record of creativity, initiative, being a self starter and self motivated. In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Remote Retention Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $3,000. This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.
