What You'll Be Doing

This role is about far more than clinical tasks — it's about rewriting stories. You'll work alongside patients navigating recovery from stroke, neurological conditions, orthopedic procedures, and more, helping them rediscover the routines and rhythms that make life feel like their own again. Each session is a step forward, and you'll be the steady, skilled guide leading the way.

You won't be working from a template. You'll be crafting individualized, thoughtful care journeys alongside a team that includes physicians, fellow therapists, nurses, and case managers — all united by the same goal: helping people get back to what matters most to them. The work is challenging, and that's exactly what makes it extraordinary.

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

Our rehab team is one of those rare groups where collaboration isn't just encouraged — it's the culture. Clinicians here share knowledge freely, celebrate each other's wins genuinely, and show up for one another in the way that only tight-knit teams do. Your contributions will be seen, your growth will be supported, and your voice will always have a seat at the table.

And beyond the clinic? Welcome to Omaha, Nebraska — a city that surprises nearly everyone who arrives and captivates nearly everyone who stays. Omaha has quietly evolved into one of the Midwest's most vibrant, livable, and dynamic cities, earning national recognition for its quality of life, affordability, and thriving food and arts scene.

Stroll through the historic Old Market district, where cobblestone streets are lined with independent restaurants, craft breweries, rooftop bars, and boutique shops that give the neighborhood an unmistakably warm energy. The culinary scene punches well above its weight — from James Beard-nominated chefs pushing creative boundaries to beloved local joints serving up legendary Omaha steaks and globally inspired dishes side by side.

Culture runs deep here too. The city is home to world-class institutions like the Joslyn Art Museum, the Durham Museum, and the Henry Doorly Zoo — consistently ranked among the best in the nation. Summer brings outdoor concerts and riverfront festivals; fall delivers stunning foliage along the Missouri River bluffs; and winter wraps the city in a cozy charm that invites long dinners and slower weekends.

And for those who crave the outdoors, Omaha delivers — with an expanding network of trails, parks, and green spaces that make it easy to run, bike, or simply breathe. The cost of living remains refreshingly manageable, meaning your salary goes further here than in many comparable cities, and the neighborhoods — from Dundee to Benson to Midtown — each carry their own distinct, welcoming character.

Who We're Looking For

We want someone who sees occupational therapy as more than a career — it's a calling. Someone who genuinely lights up when a patient buttons their shirt independently for the first time in months, or finally returns to the hobby they thought they'd lost forever.

If you lead with empathy, think critically under pressure, and believe in the power of patient-centered care — you're going to fit right in. Whether you're a seasoned OTR/L ready for a fresh challenge or an emerging clinician eager to build your foundation in a supportive environment, this is the place to do it.

Let's Build Something That Lasts — Together

This is more than a job posting. It's an invitation to do meaningful work in a community that genuinely values what you bring. In Omaha, you'll find a city that grounds you, a team that fuels you, and a patient population that reminds you every day why you chose this profession.

If you're ready to plant roots, make a real difference, and grow alongside people who care as deeply as you do — we'd love to meet you.
