About Us
1to1 Rehab is a nationally accredited, client‑focused therapy service provider recognized for excellence in Speech‑Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Nutritional Services. We support clients across homes, schools, long‑term care facilities, and community settings throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
We are intentional about who we partner with. This role is not about filling a caseload — it’s about finding the right clinician fit. Our Communicative Disorders Assistants value independence, flexibility, and high‑quality adult rehabilitation, while still having access to strong clinical and administrative support.
You’ll practice under the umbrella of a well‑established, accredited organization, while maintaining autonomy in your day‑to‑day community‑based work.
Caseload Overview
We are currently recruiting for two Communicative Disorders Assistants to support a paediatric community caseload funded through Children's Treatment Network. Services are delivered in publicly funded schools.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Accept referrals that align with your availability, geography, and clinical interests
- Build a caseload at a pace that works for you
Why Communicative Disorders Assistants Choose 1to1 Rehab
Our independent contractor model is intentionally designed for CDAs who want true flexibility without isolation.
- Control over caseload and schedule — accept or decline referrals based on fit and capacity
- Flexible scheduling that supports work–life balance, family commitments, or other clinical work
- Paediatric‑focused clinical support and mentorship, including consultation support for complex cases
- Clear clinical escalation pathways and risk support — you’re not on your own when complexity arises
- Strong administrative support, including scheduling, billing, and documentation assistance
- Mobile‑friendly documentation systems, significantly reducing after‑hours paperwork
- A sense of community and connection, even while working independently in the community
Many clinicians tell us they value the independence of contracting — but stay with 1to1 because independent doesn’t mean isolated here.
