Who We Are

Mindful OT Services is a specialized, award-winning paediatric occupational therapy clinic in Newmarket, Ontario. We serve children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, sensory processing differences, developmental delays, and complex motor needs. Our team of regulated OTs delivers programming across gross motor development, primitive reflex integration, sensory processing, adolescent life skills, HeartMath biofeedback, art therapy, and animal-assisted programming.

We are a small, high-calibre team led by a founder-clinician with deep paediatric expertise. We do not operate as a churn-and-burn clinic. Every person on our team is invested in the work, in the families we serve, and in each other.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a full-time, permanent Occupational Therapist Assistant (OTA) to work alongside our regulated OT team in delivering exceptional paediatric therapy. This is a clinic-based role where you will implement individualized treatment plans, support group programming, and play an active part in the progress of every child on your caseload.

Our clinic operates evenings and weekends — a structure designed to eliminate commute stress, protect time for self-care, and maximize your professional impact by seeing families when they are most available and most likely to attend consistently.

You will work under the supervision of our registered OTs, with full administrative and clinical support provided. Your role here is hands-on, purposeful, and central to what we do.

What You’ll Do

- Implement individualized treatment plans – developed by the supervising OT to support clients’ sensory, motor, social, and daily living skills
- Deliver therapy sessions – in individual and group settings, ensuring all activities align with each client’s goals and Mindful OT’s clinical programs
- Support group programming – including sensory groups, motor programs, adolescent life skills, and specialty services
- Document client progress – accurately and on time — session notes, progress observations, and client responses
- Collaborate with the OT team – to share feedback, adapt programming, and ensure consistency in each client’s care
- Educate and support families – by providing guidance on home strategies and carry-over activities
- Maintain therapy spaces and equipment – ensuring all sensory and motor environments are safe, organized, and ready for each session
- Contribute to team culture – through initiative, collaboration, and a genuine investment in the clinic’s mission

- Foundational knowledge of sensory processing, motor development, and self-regulation strategies

- A self-starter who takes ownership of their work without needing to be managed
- Available for a consistent schedule of evenings and weekends
- Values alignment with Depth, Leadership, Loyalty, and Stability

What We Offer Beyond the Pay Rate At Mindful OT, we offer more than a paycheque. We offer a platform for meaningful professional growth, clinical depth, and real impact.

- Mentorship from Registered OTs – You will work closely with experienced, specialized clinicians who are invested in your development — not just your productivity

- Established, Mission-Driven Team – Join a clinic with an active referral base, a strong community reputation, and a team that genuinely cares about the work
- No Driving Required – All services are delivered at our Newmarket clinic location
- Life-Integrated Schedule – Evenings and weekends mean no rush-hour traffic, better client attendance rates, and more time for yourself during the day

Our Expectations We invest in the people who join our team. We ask for reciprocity in return:

- Show up fully — for clients, for families, and for the team
- Take initiative and contribute ideas, not just complete assigned tasks
- Demonstrate loyalty and commitment to the clinic’s long-term mission
- Maintain professionalism and represent Mindful OT with integrity at all times
- Grow — actively and intentionally — as a clinician and as a person

We do not operate on short-term thinking. If you are looking for a place to clock in and clock out, Mindful OT is not the right fit. If you are ready to invest in something meaningful and have that investment returned, we want to hear from you.
