Kinesiologist – Community & Clinical Rehabilitation
Campbell River / Comox Valley / North Island
Physio on the Run
Not every Kinesiologist wants to spend every day in the same gym, doing the same thing, with the same clients.
At Physio on the Run, your role will evolve around the type of work you actually enjoy.
One day might involve helping a client regain mobility after surgery in their home. Another could involve gym-based rehabilitation on Quadra Island or working alongside physiotherapists in clinic at Alder Medical. Other days may include supporting outreach services in remote communities or helping neurological and orthopedic clients build confidence back into daily life.
No two days need to look the same here — unless you want them to.
We provide physiotherapy and rehabilitation services across Campbell River, the Comox Valley, Quadra Island, Gold River, and surrounding communities. Our work spans clinic, home visits, long-term care, outreach communities, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation.
You’ll work directly with clients in real clinical environments, helping deliver meaningful rehabilitation alongside a collaborative physiotherapy team.
About the Role
You’ll start by helping support existing caseload demand and rehabilitation overflow within the team. As you build confidence and settle into the role, there is real opportunity to shape your schedule and caseload around your strengths and interests over time.
Potential opportunities include:
- Building a gym-based rehab caseload
- Supporting outreach rehabilitation services in remote communities
- Home visit rehabilitation across Campbell River, Courtenay, and Comox
- Clinic-based kinesiology
- Neurological rehabilitation
- Orthopedic and post-surgical rehab
- Long-term care and mobility support
- Functional exercise therapy and return-to-activity programs
Some clinicians enjoy variety and movement between environments. Others prefer more structure and consistency. We try to build sustainable roles around clinician strengths and interests while maintaining consistency for clients and the team.
Why People Love Working Here
This role tends to attract people who enjoy meaningful clinical work, variety, strong relationships, and a different pace of life than larger urban centres often offer.
Many of our team love the outdoors and chose the North Island because they wanted a lifestyle with shorter commutes, stronger community connection, and easier access to hiking, mountain biking, paddling, fishing, skiing, surfing, and everything else Vancouver Island is known for.
People who do well here usually enjoy being part of a collaborative team, value genuine relationships with clients, communicate clearly, and want a role where they can continue growing clinically instead of feeling stuck doing the same thing every day.
What Your First Weeks Look Like
- Start with a smaller, supported caseload
- Work closely alongside physiotherapists and senior team members
- Build confidence before taking on more independent sessions
- Develop a schedule that becomes consistent and sustainable over time
- Gradually shape the role toward the areas of work you enjoy most
You won’t be left to figure things out on your own. Mentorship, collaboration, and support are built into how we work.
This role can work very well for newer graduates looking to build broad real-world rehabilitation experience with strong team support.
Core Responsibilities
- Deliver 1:1 exercise and rehabilitation programs
- Support mobility, walking, balance, and functional movement
- Reinforce and progress physiotherapy care plans
- Work with clients in clinic, home, community, and long-term care settings
- Assist with mobility equipment and functional supports
- Maintain clear and practical documentation
- Communicate with the rehab team to keep care coordinated and consistent
What Makes Physio on the Run Different
We are intentionally designed around sustainable, real-world care.
We care deeply about good clinical work, but we also believe meaningful care should not depend on burnout, chaos, or constant heroics.
Our team values:
- Honest communication
- Practical problem solving
- Sustainable pacing
- Flexibility where possible
- Collaboration without micromanagement
- Care that fits real life for clients and clinicians
We work hard, support each other closely, and genuinely enjoy being around one another. The culture here is collaborative, grounded, and team-oriented without feeling overly corporate or rigid.
