About the organization

Shared Health coordinates patient-centered clinical and preventive health services across Manitoba. It also provides province-wide health services and centralized administrative and business support for Manitoba health organizations.

What you will do

You will deliver physiotherapy care that includes consultations, client assessments, physiotherapy diagnosis, care planning, treatment delivery, evaluation, program development and implementation, discharge planning, and follow-up. The goal of the role is to help clients maintain function, reduce disability, and support overall well-being.

The position also involves educating and advising other healthcare professionals and, where applicable, people working in educational settings. You may provide clinical supervision for students and contribute to the training of other health professionals when requested. Strong professional judgment, accountability, communication, and teamwork are essential.

Schedule and work arrangement

This is an in-person role based in Winnipeg. Scheduled shifts may include days, evenings, and weekends. The standard workday is 7.75 hours, and the annual base hours are 2015.

Compensation

The listed pay range is $46.459 to $53.853. The posting does not state a salary period, so the compensation frequency is not specified in the source.

Qualifications

You should have recent, relevant clinical experience. Candidates must hold an entry-to-practice physiotherapy credential from an accredited Canadian university program, or an approved equivalent if internationally educated.

If provincial licensing requires it, you must have completed the written component of the Physiotherapy Competency Exam and complete the requirements for the Active Practice Register within two years of finishing the written exam.

Registration on the Active Practice Register of the College of Physiotherapists of Manitoba is required, though registration on the Exam Candidate Register may be considered. Membership in the Canadian Physiotherapy Association is preferred. CPR training must meet the employer’s policy requirements.

Skills and attributes

The role calls for strong interpersonal skills, effective written and verbal communication, and the ability to collaborate with multiple disciplines. You should demonstrate sound judgment, initiative, organization, and the ability to complete work with minimal supervision. A solid understanding of the physical, social, cultural, and economic factors affecting client care is important, along with comfort adapting to evolving healthcare and education practices. Basic computer literacy is expected.

Physical demands

This job requires the ability to stand or walk for long periods, use safe body mechanics, transfer clients who may be large, heavy, or non-weight-bearing, and apply therapeutic techniques with good motor coordination and dexterity. You may also need to work evenings or weekends, occasionally extend your hours, and operate in environments that may include infectious disease exposure, blood and body fluids, toxic materials, noise, allergens, physical and emotional stress, and aggressive or agitated individuals.

Additional requirements and conditions

The term assignment may end sooner than planned in line with the collective agreement. Applicants must submit a cover letter, resume, and copies of licenses or certifications. Employment is conditional on a current satisfactory Criminal Records Check, including a Vulnerable Sector Search, a Child Abuse Registry Check, and an Adult Abuse Registry Check. The successful candidate is responsible for any related service charges, and the security check is considered current only if completed within six months before the start date.

An employee may not hold two or more Shared Health positions that together exceed 1.0 FTE. Shared Health supports employment equity, workplace diversity, and inclusive hiring. People with disabilities may request accommodations during the assessment and selection process. The organization also encourages Indigenous applicants to apply and to self-identify as Indigenous in their cover letter or application, as Manitoba healthcare employers and Indigenous partners are working to increase Indigenous representation across the workforce.
