Our Purpose
At Spark, we're on a mission to make a difference in the way community healthcare is done. As a leading healthcare organization, we are dedicated to supporting our clients with the autonomy to steer their healthcare journey and equipping them with the necessary resources to take control of their health.

Spark is an innovative, award-winning, inclusive and equity focused organization that matches diverse clients to the best one to one care in the community. If you have a passion for helping people and wish to collaborate with a group of like-minded individuals who are committed, hardworking and dedicated, we invite you to become part of our network of healthcare providers!

We provide highly individualized, client-centred care through assessments, goal-oriented treatment, and hands-on support tailored to each person’s unique needs and interests, whether that’s hobbies, work, school, or daily routines. We value teamwork, compassion, and quality care, and we’re looking for OTs who are passionate about making a real difference every day. You would be an ideal candidate if you thrive in a collaborative, client-centred environment and are inspired to help clients reach meaningful goals.
