About the clinic
About Ruby Therapy Services
Ruby Therapy Services is a multidisciplinary clinic in St. Albert, serving families across the Edmonton area.

Questions, answered honestly
Frequently asked questions
Is this an employee or contractor position?
It's a contract (self-employed) role. You invoice for your hours, and we handle client billing and administration on the back end. We'll walk you through exactly how it works during hiring.
How does pay work, and what's the range?
Pay is $90–$110 per hour depending on your experience and caseload, and we pay weekly. We’ll go over specifics during hiring.
Do I have to deal with billing and admin?
We handle client billing and the bulk of the administration. Some admin is naturally part of clinical care, though. For example, if a client is with you, we'd ask you to book their next session or capture what's needed in the moment — it's simpler and more reliable to handle it right then than to follow up separately afterward. The heavy back-office work is ours; the small, in-the-moment pieces are yours.
What caseload and ages will I work with?
Our caseload is pre-school and school-aged children with developmental, sensory, and motor needs — you’ll support fine motor, sensory processing, self-regulation, and daily-living skills.
Where is the clinic, and is this in person?
Our clinic is in St. Albert and we serve the greater Edmonton area. This is a primarily in-person role — clients are seen at our clinic.
Can I work part-time or flexible hours?
Yes. Many of our clinicians start with one or two days, or a couple of evenings a week, and we work with you to find a schedule that fits. A lot of family demand is after school and on weekends, so availability during those times is especially valuable.
What qualifications do I need?
You need a Master's in Occupational Therapy and registration, or eligibility to register, with ACOT.
Will I have support, or is this a solo role?
It's an independent role — you'll manage your own caseload — but you're not on your own. We're in the clinic together, so you can get feedback on a session or a report, or talk through a case whenever you need. You take on more independence over time, as you're ready.
