VC Athletic Therapy Health CollectivePetawawa, OntarioFull-time | Versatile Schedule | Immediate Start

What if your next career also gave you the life you wanted?

Imagine building a rewarding full-time Physiotherapy practice, doing meaningful clinical work and still having time and energy left for your own life.

VC Athletic Therapy Health Collective is seeking a Full-Time Physiotherapist who wants more than another position in an expensive city, a lengthy commute or a schedule that consumes every evening and weekend.

We are offering the opportunity to develop and lead Physiotherapy services within an established, award-winning multidisciplinary clinic while enjoying the affordability, community and exceptional quality of life Petawawa offers.

Why Petawawa?

Petawawa offers the rare combination of professional opportunity and genuine work-life balance.

You can finish your workday and be on the Ottawa River, at the beach, on a trail, in the gym or home with your family within minutes. There are no hours spent sitting in traffic, and the lower cost of living means your income can go considerably further than it would in many larger Canadian cities.

Petawawa offers

- A more affordable cost of living
- Short commutes and free parking
- A flexible full time schedule
- Beaches, trails and the Ottawa River
- Paddling, hiking, cycling, skiing and year-round recreation
- Active sports, fitness and community organizations
- A welcoming community where people develop genuine connections
- The opportunity to build a meaningful career without sacrificing your personal life

By becoming involved in local sports leagues, gyms, outdoor groups or community activities that already interest you, you can build relationships and allow your Patient load to grow naturally. This is not about shameless self-promotion—it is about becoming part of a community where people know and trust their healthcare professionals.

Do Work That Matters

Petawawa is home to one of Canada’s largest military bases. Our clinic serves active military members, veterans and their families, as well as first responders, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories employees, athletes and members of the wider Ottawa Valley community.

- Recover from musculoskeletal injuries

mobility and independence
