Company: BioPed
Job Type: Permanent Full Time
You’re driven to make a difference in the lives of others, and love working with your hands to build products that help others. Whether you’re kickstarting your career, or you’ve already got a few years of experience under your belt, you want to join a passionate team in an organization that truly changes lives.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, we may have the perfect opportunity for you.
We’re BioPed Footcare, and we know that to truly improve life for our clients, we need to do more than offer the same treatment for everyone. With over 65 clinics in Canada, we offer effective custom treatment plans for clients and proudly manufacture custom orthotics on-site.
Our mission is to enable people to live their lives to the fullest by helping them alleviate their foot pain. To continue to help our clients do more in life, work, and play, we’re looking for a Pedorthic Technician for our local BioPed clinic.
About the Pedorthic Technician role:
As our Pedorthic Tech, you’ll be a critical pillar supporting our smooth operation, and the manufacturing of our custom orthotics in our state of the art, on-site lab. You’ll support the foot and lower limb care team in building quality medical devices that help clients alleviate their health concerns. You’ll have the opportunity to make lasting impacts on our clients everyday as you engage with patients, educate them on products and services that will support their health journey.
In a typical day, you will be:
- Manufacturing and adjusting custom foot orthotics, completing footwear fittings and modifications, performing bracing and compression therapy fittings
- Engaging with clients for educating, fitting and follow-up on products and services offered in clinic
- Keeping up to date with industry knowledge and reviewing cases with your peers
You’ll excel in this role if you are:
- A team player – you have an all-hands-on-deck mentality and are always willing to jump in and support your team wherever needed.
- A problem solver – you’re an excellent listener, and you can gather information effectively from patients to minimize their concerns and resolve their issues.
- Compassionate – you’re calm, warm, understanding, and you always make your patients feel valued and supported when you collaborate with them.
- Knowledgeable – you’re passionate about what you do, and you’re always eager to learn and continuously improve to keep up with industry trends.
We have efficient and sophisticated programs and tools (including our on-site fully equipped lab), so you’ll benefit from our modern, technology-based environment and enjoy support in all aspects of your role.
You’ll strike the balance with manufacturing, completing lab work and supporting client’s needs along with your team.
If you have a genuine passion for working with your hands and helping people, building strong relationships, and finding creative solutions to problems, you’ll fit right in with us.
About this opportunity with BioPed Footcare:
This is a full-time permanent position working daily out of our local BioPed clinic typically from Monday-Friday, 9:00 am-5:00 pm with flexibility for some evenings and Saturday’s.
You’ll be paid an hourly wage and will be commensurate with experience. You’ll be eligible for our health benefits, employee purchase plan, and paid attendance at our BioPed national conference. We also pay for uniforms/work gear, offer discounted personal footcare products, pay for certification courses/other continuing education, plus offer considerable opportunities for growth and advancement.
We give back to our community through our Soles4Souls program and DoMore campaign. Soles4Souls has been extremely successful, collecting over 700,000 used shoes to distribute to people in need here in Canada and in developing countries.
Our collaborative, approachable, and eager to help team leads with integrity and takes a practical approach to client care. We have a genuine passion for helping people live pain free – whether that means getting through a day of work without limitations, chasing after their grandchildren, or running a marathon.
