Who We Are

With every job, there’s always the question of “why”. Why join a company? Why be part of their mission? Here, the why is easy. It’s because at some point, we’ve all needed someone there for us.

At the OTIP Group of Companies (OGC), we believe that something special happens when employees feel valued for the work they do, supported as the people they are, and included in the very fabric of the organization: they bring their best to work every day. And that's why we mean it when we say we put our people at the centre of everything we do. Join us as we grow our way into a future that reimagines what it means to deliver meaningful benefits support and service.




Job Description


What You’ll Do:

Reporting to the Manager of Early Intervention, GL&DC, you’ll be responsible for handling all member intake screenings, workload assignment and providing administrative support to the Early Intervention Rehabilitation Consultants (EIRC).  This will include initial phone screening to assess eligibility and candidacy for the Early Intervention program, scheduling appointments for EIRCs and administrative tasks in support of the Early Intervention team. The Group Life & Disability Early Intervention Program Coordinator will also handle general inquiries about the program and maintain records for program metrics.

The core parts of your role will be to: 

  • Act as the member’s first point of contact with OTIP’s Early Intervention (EI) program. This includes contacting members to complete initial screening to determine eligibility and candidacy for the EI Program and will require interviewing members, seeking out and clarifying information and probing as necessary.

  • Handle complex EI invoice questions from members and providers and initiate payment of invoices through Docsnet.
  • Contact Service Providers on behalf of EIRC and/or Members to establish third party invoicing arrangements.
  • Determine, based on the outcome of the screening call with the member, which template(s) the EIRC may require for their work on the file. Prepare claim files for the EIRCs by ensuring applicable templates are indexed into the appropriate files and adding additional items to the file on the direction from the EIRC. 
  • Prepare and send out EI outcome communication to the union and/or school board representatives or other stakeholders.
  • Provide assistance and support to union representatives regarding the EI program and related processes.
  • Provide additional administrative support to EI team and greater GL&DC team, as required.
