Mindful OT Services is a private paediatric occupational therapy clinic in Newmarket, Ontario, serving children and youth with sensory processing differences, developmental delays, neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD), and complex motor needs. Our team of five regulated OTs delivers specialized 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 expertise in paediatric OT. We do not operate as a churn-and-burn clinic. Every OT on our team is invested in the work, in the families we serve, and in each other.

The Opportunity
We are hiring a Pediatric Occupational Therapist to join the Mindful OT team in a full-time (5 days/week).

This is a fresh-build opportunity. You will develop your own caseload from the ground up, working with newly referred clients. There is no inheriting of other therapists’ files. You build your clinical identity here from day one, with the full support of our team behind you.

Our clinic operates evenings and weekends — a structure designed to eliminate your 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.

What You’ll Do

Conduct paediatric OT assessments – across sensory, gross motor, fine motor, and developmental domains

Design and implement individualized treatment plans – for children and youth with neurodevelopmental differences

Build and maintain your own caseload – of new referrals, growing from part time to full-time over a supported ramp-up period

Collaborate with families, schools, and interdisciplinary partners – to ensure cohesive care and lasting outcomes

Participate in group programming – including specialty services such as sensory groups, motor programs, and adolescent life skills

Document clearly and efficiently – using our electronic charting system with admin support provided

Contribute to the team culture – through collaboration, mentorship, and shared growth

Loyalty, initiative, and genuine contribution to the clinic’s success

A commitment to growing — not just maintaining — your clinical practice

Engagement with our team, our values, and the families we serve

Long-term thinking: this is a career investment, not a contract position

If you are looking for a place to clock in and clock out, Mindful OT is not the right fit. If you are looking for a place to build something meaningful, we want to hear from you.
