  • Implement Therapeutic Techniques: Use evidence-based methods to promote improvements in patients’ physical abilities, cognition, and everyday activities.
  • Collaborate with Diverse Teams: Work closely with fellow OTs, PTs, SLPs, physicians, and nursing staff to deliver holistic patient care.
  • Educate Patients and Families: Provide guidance and support to patients and their caregivers on effective therapy practices to facilitate home recovery.
  • Monitor Progress and Document Care: Keep meticulous records of patient progress, adapting treatment approaches to ensure optimal outcomes.

 

Qualifications

  • Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited school.
  • Engagement in continuous education or post-graduate certifications encouraged and supported.

 

Licensure

  • Current OTR license in good standing.
  • NBCOT (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) certification required.

 

Essential Skills

  • A genuine passion for helping others achieve their maximal independence.
  • Clear, compassionate communication skills to connect effectively with patients and team members.
  • A creative mindset that allows for flexibility in meeting the diverse needs of patients.
  • Ability to thrive both collaboratively within a tight-knit team and independently.

 

Benefits

  • A collaborative, empowering environment with ample opportunities for professional development.
  • Full-time hours with varied shift options to suit your lifestyle.

Your Contributions

 

In this dynamic role, you’ll do more than just address symptoms; you’ll help restore routines, bolster confidence, and rekindle joy in life’s daily experiences. Whether it’s guiding patients recovering from strokes or aiding orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, your expertise will shine through as you offer person-centered therapy that nurtures resilience and fosters independence.

 

In our environment, there’s no room for mediocrity. Each patient comes with a narrative, and every therapeutic session represents a new chapter in their healing journey. You’ll partner with dedicated therapists, medical professionals, and social workers to develop customized rehabilitation plans that highlight the unique stories of those you serve.

We take pride in our team camaraderie. With our rehab professionals, it’s not just about checking off tasks; we uplift each other, exchange insights, and celebrate accomplishments — large and small — as a cohesive family. You’ll find yourself in a workplace where your perspectives are valued, your aspirations for growth are supported, and your influence is evident every single day.
