Infin-OT Occupational Therapy

07/27/2025

We're Hiring an Office Assistant! 🎉

What does an office assistant do?
They support two (soon to be three!) Occupational Therapists with the day-to-day tasks that keep our office running smoothly.

The biggest task? Managing our very lively inbox.
Other responsibilities include:
📬 Greeting and chatting with kids and families
📅 Helping manage schedules
🔍 Random but fun tasks—like researching the most indestructible balance beam

What are the hours?
Roughly 10 hours a week, with flexible scheduling.

Olivia, our current assistant, usually comes in twice a week and works a bit from home on two other days.
She’s leaving soon because she is finishing her master’s—so we’re looking for someone new to join the team!

Do you have to be a post-secondary student?
Nope! But let’s be honest—who else is looking for a schedule this random and flexible?

Applicants must be at least 19, due to the sensitive topics we cover.

What's the office environment like?
We’re relaxed, fun, and value genuine connection—with each other and the families we support.
No rushing, no strict dress codes, just a big need for organization

Will I learn anything?
Absolutely. You can sit in on debriefs, join us for training sessions, and help with research.
Our OTs love to talk about their jobs...ask questions at your own risk.

What makes a great assistant?
🧠 Good at organization and problem solving
💛 Genuinely loves kids

What makes this job great?
You’ll be surrounded by neurodivergent children and youth, passionate clinicians, and you'll be doing very meaningful work.

Start Date: August or September—whatever works best for everyone.

How to Apply:
Email your resume and a cover letter to hannahgray@infinot.ca
Apply ASAP—we’re excited to meet you!

We are hiring an office assistant! Come join us in this fun and meaningful role.

Sadly, as amazing as Olivia is, she has to leave move on for more education.

Tasks include: greeting and engaging with families, responding to and organizing emails, clerical tasks like sorting and organizing, basic tidying and sanitizing, processing payments and supporting clinicians in odd tasks like preparing therapy material or finding online resources.

This position is in an in office role 2-3 times a week. Some hours can be remote and we are able to work around things like vacations or exam schedules. The hours are flexible as long as they are generally consistent. Our last two assistants have been in university and that worked well for all of us (even if they eventually graduate and move on!).

We aren't able to consider applications from past or current clients or their families.

To apply, please email your resume and cover letter to HannahGray@infinot.ca

Let me tell you about the look of betrayal on a child's face when their OT suggests they do chores.

Summer is here! We are so excited.

If you are currently seeing Julia or Hannah, we invite you to go online and book the appointments you need for the summer. You just have to go to infinot.janeapp.com or email info@infinot.ca

Summer turns our schedule a bit wonky. We have vacation days booked, transition planning going on, and some big changes coming in the middle of August. And while we hate to talk about school starting again...the end of August has a lot of meetings.

We want to see you! Please reach out.

It has been a very heavy week across the world. If your heart is heavy, we see you.

When the world is scary, we rely on the things we know: We need to support all brains, because we need all brains.

Sunscreen is necessary.

And sometimes a bit horrible to put on. Here are some sensory friendly strategies that work for our families.

1 : Apply it with a make up brush or beauty blender!

This works great for getting full coverage on a person's face without the presure of your hands

2 : Use Firm Touch

Light touch and fast rubbing is more overwhelming than deep, consistent pressure. Slowly and firmly rub the sunscreen in.

3: Mix it up

Deodorant style sunscreens don't feel as cold on the skin. Neutrogena makes a spray that comes out as a dry powder.

4: Use Deep Pressure

Use deep pressure or heavy work activities before applying sunscreen! This helps regulate before doing something challenging

5: Create a verbal routine (even for yourself!)

This could mean having a countdown as you rub it in, a song you sing, or verbalizing the order you do it. This helps makes things predictable and keeps the end in sight.

6: try rolling it on!

Check out Solar Buddies to turn sunscreen into a roll on experience

Lastly: be kind to yourselves. This is genuinely a hard thing for a lot of people. It is fair to find it hard.

Happy Pride Week to our school district!

We hope you can celebrate pride knowing, and feeling, q***r joy in your life.

We know so many hard things about being LGBTQIA+. We know we can't promise you that it will always get better and bigotry will end.

And we know to our core, that they can experience joy that comes with being q***r.

It is a joy that is unique and wouldn't be here if we weren't here. We can celebrate pride because we add to our communities, not just because we survive them.

Thank you to the youth and the families that come into our office and experience this joy with us. And a special thank you to the teachers at ASD South, who stood up for their students through the last few years. You helped keep this joy possible.

An unclean house.
Getting a 1 or 2 on your report card.
Being able to pay attention in class.
Using assistive technology.
Having more debt than other people.
How quickly you learn to read.
Losing your wallet. Or keys. Or passort.
Doing things the easy way.
Making a mistake.
Making more mistakes than other people.
Eye contact.
Getting take out.
How long toilet training takes.
Whether or not you're a morning person.
"Picky" eatting.
Scrolling on your phone.
Your kid's screen time.

Being neurodivergent often means carrying shame for the way your brain works. Or for your child's brain.

We can set that shame down.
