What You'll Be Doing

Day to day, your work will reach far beyond clinical charts and treatment codes. You'll be the steady hand guiding a stroke survivor through fine motor retraining, the encouraging presence walking an orthopedic patient through post-surgical recovery, and the creative problem-solver who finds new ways to help someone with a neurological condition reengage with the activities they love.

Each session is an opportunity to write the next chapter in a patient's comeback story. You won't be working from a generic script — you'll be crafting personalized approaches alongside a multidisciplinary team of therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers who are all rowing in the same direction. Here, the standard is excellence, and the culture is one of mutual support and shared purpose.

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

Our rehab team is something truly worth being part of. We don't just work together — we invest in one another. Knowledge gets shared freely, milestones get celebrated loudly, and every voice at the table carries weight. You'll find a professional home where your development is taken seriously and your contributions are recognized in real time.

And the city? Nashville, Tennessee is a place that gets under your skin in the best possible way. Known the world over for its legendary music scene, this city offers a cultural richness that extends far beyond the honky-tonks of Broadway. Tree-lined neighborhoods like East Nashville and 12 South brim with independent restaurants, artisan coffee shops, and weekend farmers markets that feel like community reunions.

Nashville is a city on the rise — drawing creatives, healthcare professionals, and entrepreneurs who want both career momentum and a fulfilling personal life. Outdoor lovers will find themselves spoiled for choice, with Percy Priest Lake just minutes away for kayaking and paddleboarding, Radnor Lake for peaceful trail hikes, and the rolling Cumberland River winding through the heart of it all.

Winters are mild, summers are electric, and the food scene is nothing short of extraordinary — from legendary hot chicken joints to acclaimed farm-to-table dining that reflects the region's deep agricultural roots. There's a warmth to Nashville that newcomers notice almost immediately, a genuine Southern hospitality that makes settling in feel less like starting over and more like coming home.

Who We're Looking For

We're searching for an OTR/L who treats this profession as a calling rather than a career checkbox. Someone who feels a quiet rush of pride when a patient regains a grip, relearns a routine, or finds their words again. Someone who brings curiosity to complex cases and consistency to every patient interaction.

Whether you've been practicing for years and are ready for a meaningful new chapter, or you're a newly certified therapist eager to build your foundation under strong clinical mentorship — you'll find your footing and your future here. All we ask is that you show up with heart, dedication, and a willingness to grow.

Step Into Something Bigger

This is your chance to plant roots in a city that rewards ambition and honors authenticity — and to do work each day that genuinely changes lives. Recovery is personal, and the OTs who make it happen deserve a workplace that matches their dedication.

If you're ready to bring your skills to a team that will push you, support you, and celebrate you — and do it all in a city that never runs out of reasons to love it — your next move starts here.
