And here’s what some of our staff has to say, starting with a senior physio:
“I have always loved my clinical role, but I found myself fatiguing of clinical care. I also felt that the learning opportunities I was exposed to mainly improved my clinical skill set, but I was craving opportunities to expand my skill set in other areas. Before TCP I took on a lot of unpaid volunteer projects that made me excited again about my clinical work, but left me overstretched and exhausted. Joining TCP and taking on a Senior Physiotherapist role brought a better work/play balance into my life; it allowed me to continue to treat clinically and at the same time push my comfort zone and upskill in other areas (leadership, mentorship, education, management), all within the boundaries of my job role. The senior physio role at our clinic is a unique opportunity to discover untapped strengths and build those skills, without having to abandon clinical care.”

“Exactly the team dynamic that I have been looking for for years. Feels like we are learning and growing from one another. I feel supported and like I am part of a “whole” while still feeling like I have autonomy to do my thing.”

We are looking for a full time pelvic health physiotherapist to join our special team!

We offer an in depth mentorship program to kick start your work with us, and ongoing supervision and weekly inservice’s with the team once you’re established and confident. 

For the right person with the right growth mindset we can offer this position to new grads and those new to pelvic health. 

For more experienced staff, we offer a track to grow your skills in leadership and mentorship, and the opportunity to contribute to progressive service clinical development. 

We have an ongoing lengthy waitlist so you can focus on your clinical skills and clients, you won’t have to market your services. 

All staff are commissioned employees, and we work morning and afternoon shifts. 

If you’re interested – please get in touch! It’s never to early and we’d love to get to know you!

We find our clinic learning and culture is so all in, it’s easier for staff to be full timers so they can really take advantage of what we offer. 

If you are solely looking to work part time, it is possible to join our team as long as you have the capacity to take full advantage of our mentorship and clinic learning. 

If you’re thinking about us, just get in touch! We want to know you!

The Cheerful Pelvis is a team of physios and support staff working together in East Vancouver to

1) offer physiotherapy and rehab services for pelvic health for all bodies

2) focus on collaborative learning to continually work towards clinical excellence as individuals and as a team.

This role is to work in our movement space offering pilates-based movement rehab to our clients, most of whom will be referred to you internally from our pelvic floor physio team. The role is therefore very collaborative and you’d work hand in hand with our entire team for the best client results.

The caseload will consist of a variety of presentations including

• prenatal care and birth preparation
• postnatal rehab
• higher level athletic rehab for those with incontinence / prolapse / pain symptoms
• persistent pain conditions like endometriosis

The ability to conduct internal exams for PF assessment is not required, but an interest in working and learning about pelvic health is a must.

There is potential for a mixed pelvic floor / clinical pilates caseload if that’s of interest.

We are a busy clinic with a great reputation. We offer extensive mentorship, especially for anyone new in the field, we can fast-track you to clinic excellence in pelvic health and support you with all the challenges along the way.

For those with experience, we offer support in further niching your practice if desired, service development, and opportunity for mentorship and teaching roles.

We have a no-ego culture, understanding that all of us are learning and growing together. We hold weekly in-services with either in-house or externally sourced facilitators, as well as bi-weekly 1:1 support and mentorship with a mentor

If you are a lifelong learner who wants to be part of a collaborative team environment, loves pelvic health, understands the need for personal as well as professional development and want to work in a clinic where you’re seen, celebrated, and have room to grow, then please get in touch!

Staff testimonials:

“Everyone at Cheerful has contributed to my blue print on how to be a better physio, not just clinically, but how I grow and think personally. Each one of us has a unique attribute to the clinic no matter the years of experience, and Cheerful celebrates that. As someone who started in pelvic health right out of physio school, TCP single handedly made me the pelvic floor physio I am today (from case load management, professional development to how to treat complex conditions). Our all encompassing / individualized mentorship structure permitted me to be clinically sound and confident/at ease in my practice no matter what is thrown at me compared to peers of my class. Going to work at Cheerful is surely the highlight of most my days, and I live a pretty fulfilling / eventful life 🙂 !”

“Exactly the team dynamic that I have been looking for for years. Feels like we are learning and growing from one another. I feel supported and like I am part of a “whole” while still feeling like I have autonomy to do my thing.”

We are looking for someone who

• Is experienced in both group and 1:1 movement facilitation
• Has a kind heart and a keen rehab eye
• Can hold a positive space for clients finding movement difficult or scary
• Is keen to be part of new and developing movement services at TCP

“TCP hands down has the best team environment! Everyone is completely supportive of each other and are always there to boost you if you’re not feeling your best. The leadership team sets an amazing example for the rest of the team, in their willingness to listen and learn from each other, and have fun at the same time! It’s been inspiring for me to work with such an awesome group of women!”
