Step Into Purpose as an Occupational Therapist Along Florida's Treasure Coast

 

Overview

 

Are you a driven Occupational Therapist who finds deep meaning in guiding others back to the moments that matter most? If you're the kind of clinician who believes rehabilitation is more than a process — it's a transformation — then this opportunity was crafted with you in mind.

 

We're actively recruiting a full-time, licensed OTR/L to join a therapy team that blends clinical excellence with genuine human connection. This is a place where evidence-based practice meets compassionate care, and where every staff member is seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

 

Job Description

  • Design Individualized Care Plans: Conduct thorough assessments to understand each patient's unique challenges and craft goal-oriented therapy programs tailored to their lifestyle and recovery needs
  • Deliver Skilled Therapeutic Interventions: Apply research-supported techniques to improve patients' fine motor function, cognitive performance, sensory processing, and activities of daily living
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Partner with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, physicians, nursing staff, and case managers to deliver seamless, whole-person care
  • Educate and Empower: Provide meaningful instruction to patients and their families or caregivers, equipping them with strategies to support continued progress beyond the clinic
  • Track Progress and Refine Treatment: Maintain thorough clinical documentation, evaluate outcomes consistently, and modify care plans to reflect each patient's evolving needs

 

Education

  • Graduate degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program
  • Post-graduate certifications and continuing education pursuits are welcomed and actively supported

 

Certifications

  • Valid and active Occupational Therapist Registered / Licensed (OTR/L) licensure
  • NBCOT certification required prior to or at time of hire

 

Skills

  • A genuine passion for helping individuals reclaim independence and rediscover daily joy
  • Warm, articulate communication skills that put patients and families at ease
  • Resourceful problem-solving abilities with a knack for creative, patient-centered thinking
  • Comfort and confidence functioning both autonomously and within a collaborative interdisciplinary team

 

Benefits

  • Full-time position with flexible scheduling to support work-life balance
  • Mentorship programs and clinical development pathways
  • Access to modern facilities, advanced documentation platforms, and cutting-edge therapy tools
  • A team culture built on trust, transparency, and shared celebration of patient milestones
  • Opportunities to contribute to quality improvement initiatives and shape how care is delivered

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

Your days here won't feel routine — and that's exactly the point. You'll step into a role where the work is dynamic, the patients are real people with real stories, and the outcomes you help create ripple far beyond the therapy room. From supporting stroke survivors as they relearn how to button a shirt, to helping post-surgical patients rebuild strength and coordination, you'll be woven into some of the most pivotal chapters of people's lives.

 

Every plan you create will be thoughtfully constructed, every session delivered with intention, and every discharge celebrated as a hard-earned victory. You'll lean on a team of professionals who challenge and champion each other — doctors, nurses, social workers, and fellow therapists who are all pointing in the same direction: toward the best possible outcome for every individual in their care.

 

Why You'll Love the Team — and the Place That Grounds You

 

Our rehab team is something worth talking about. We're the kind of group that actually listens during meetings, checks in on each other between sessions, and takes time to acknowledge the wins — even the small ones. You won't feel like a number here. You'll feel like a cornerstone.

 

And outside of work? You'll find yourself living in one of Florida's most vibrant and sun-drenched communities. Port St. Lucie is a coastal gem tucked along the Treasure Coast — a place where warm ocean breezes, turquoise waterways, and an unhurried pace of life make every day feel like a reward. The St. Lucie River winds through the city, offering endless opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sunset fishing. Miles of pristine Atlantic beaches are just a short drive away, perfect for weekend unwinding after a fulfilling week of meaningful work.

 

The community itself is flourishing — a mix of longtime Florida locals, young families, and newcomers who came for the lifestyle and never looked back. You'll discover farmers markets brimming with fresh tropical produce, a growing food and arts scene, lush golf courses and nature preserves, and a warmth from neighbors that feels genuinely old-Florida. It's the kind of place where life moves intentionally, and the beauty around you has a way of recharging you every single day.

 

Who We're Looking For

 

We're searching for a clinician who approaches occupational therapy with both rigor and heart. Someone who understands that behind every evaluation form is a person who misses their routine, their independence, or their sense of self — and who is committed to helping them find their way back.

 

If you're an experienced OTR/L ready for a fresh environment, or a newer graduate eager to develop under strong mentorship, you'll find this role to be both challenging and deeply rewarding. What matters most is that you show up with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to continuous growth.

 

Your Next Chapter Starts Here

 

This isn't just a job posting — it's an open door. An invitation to join a team that does extraordinary work in an extraordinary place. If the idea of building a career that fulfills you professionally while surrounding you with natural beauty and genuine community resonates, we'd love to hear from you.

 

Come do the work that lights you up — right here on Florida's Treasure Coast. We're ready when you are.
