  • Use data and analytics to inform decisions and identify trends in recovery and return-to-work outcomes.
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with clients, employers, and healthcare providers.
  • Communicate with empathy and clarity, guiding clients through their absence and return-to-work journey.

What Sets You Apart

  • Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare, Kinesiology or Business
  • 3+ years of professional experience in disability case management
  • Demonstrated strength in these key skills:
    • Emotional Intelligence
    • Crisis Intervention
    • Strategic Thinking
    • Rehabilitation Techniques
    • Data Analysis
    • Negotiation

What You Need to Succeed

  • Strong analytical and decision-making skills
  • Resilience and adaptability in fast-paced, emotionally complex situations
  • Comfort with digital tools and multiple platforms
  • A collaborative, team-first mindset

Why Join Us?

  • A comprehensive training program and continuous learning opportunities
  • A supportive, inclusive, and purpose-driven culture
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and wellness programs
  • Opportunities for career growth and internal mobility
  • A chance to make a real difference in people’s lives
