We’re hiring a physiotherapist in Kelowna, and the clinic is busy enough that your schedule will actually fill.

That matters more than it sounds. Plenty of clinics quote you a strong percentage and then leave you with gaps all afternoon. The rate is only half the equation, so ask us about utilization and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Affinity Wellness has around 35 practitioners across seven disciplines under one roof: physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, kinesiology, counselling, dietetics and manual osteopathy. Most clinics with a list like that call themselves multidisciplinary. Here it means that when a patient isn’t progressing the way you expected, you can walk down the hall and ask the kinesiologist what she saw in his movement screen. Care plans get built between people, not side by side.

One-on-one sessions, no double booking, and a gym space for active rehab. You won’t be doing admin either. The front desk handles billing, insurance, reminders and rebooking, and Jane is covered by the clinic.

What we’re actually looking for

Clinical skill matters. What separates the people we hire is how they think about a patient.

You treat the patient, not the complaint. Someone comes in with a sore shoulder. The shoulder is where the conversation starts, not where it ends. What’s their work like, how are they sleeping, and what are they actually trying to get back to?

You know what stage you’re treating. Acute and chronic need different hands. We want someone who can name the stage out loud and build the plan around it, rather than running the same protocol at everyone who comes through the door.

You take people all the way through. Pain relief first, then the movement they’ve lost, then the strength that keeps it from coming back, then back to their life. Letting someone go the moment they stop hurting is the most common reason patients end up in a clinic again.

You use the team. If a kinesiologist, a dietitian, a counsellor or an RMT would get someone further and faster than you can alone, say so.

You’re hungry, humble and smart.



We hire for all three and we don’t really bend on it.

One thing to be upfront about. If you’re coming from a hospital or publicly funded setting hoping for that same rhythm here, the adjustment is usually harder than people expect. Private practice asks for more flexibility and a lot more ownership.

What you’d earn

Estimated annual earnings of $100,000 to $125,000, based on an established full-time caseload of roughly 2,000 to 2,400 appointments a year at our current rates. It’s an estimate rather than a guarantee.

Those numbers describe a settled caseload, not your first six months. Building to it takes a while, which is why we guarantee a minimum for your first three months. You shouldn’t be carrying the risk of growing a caseload from scratch on your own.

Full-time independent contractor on a percentage fee split. You’d cover your own Physitrack, registration, liability insurance and taxes. We cover everything else: space, equipment, supplies, Jane, marketing and an established referral network.

Mentorship that’s actually funded

New graduates, please do get in touch. There’s a paid onboarding and mentorship program running about 12 weeks, alongside your caseload rather than before it, so you’re treating and earning from your first week. You’ll have covered patient interviewing, plans of care and charting at school.

This is the next layer: more nuance, and a lot more practice. Running an interview when the history is messy or the patient is guarded. Holding a plan of care together across months. Charting that still makes sense to you six weeks later. Weekly check-ins with our rehab lead, and someone to ask in between.





She has paid hours set aside in her week for exactly this. It’s a budgeted line, not a promise on a poster.

What you’ll need

Registration, or eligibility for registration, with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC, and a Masters of Physical Therapy or equivalent. Some availability across mornings and evenings, and a share of the Saturday rotation.

Internationally educated physiotherapists who’ve passed the PCE, we’d like to hear from you. Dry needling or IMS, pelvic health, vestibular, concussion or sport rehab are all welcome and none of them are required.

On Kelowna, if you’re weighing the move: lake, mountains, wineries and ski hills inside an hour. A good number of our team came from elsewhere and will tell you what they wish they’d known. We’re also a scent-free clinic.

How to apply

Apply through Indeed, or email [email protected]. Please don’t send a formal cover letter. I’d much rather read a few paragraphs answering one question:

Tell me about a patient whose care you were part of over time. Where were they when they started, what changed in the plan along the way, and why?

If you’re a new grad, use a placement patient. I’m reading for how you think about someone’s recovery, not for how long you’ve been registered.

I read every application myself and reply within a week either way. After that it’s a half hour call with me, then a working visit where you meet the physio team and ask them anything you like with me out of the room, then an offer and a start date.

Questions before you apply are welcome. Just ask.
