What You'll Be Doing

Your days here will be anything but routine — in the best possible way. You will step into a role where your work goes far beyond exercise progressions and home programs. You will help a grandmother button her coat again. You will guide a young accident survivor back to the kitchen, the keyboard, the life they thought they had lost. You will be the bridge between where your patients are and where they deserve to be.

Each session is an opportunity to restore not just function, but identity. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team of equally committed professionals, you will co-develop rehabilitation plans that honor the full picture of who each patient is — their history, their goals, their definition of a good day. This is the kind of work that follows you home in the best way: in the form of pride, purpose, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing you made something better.

Why You'll Love the Team — and the City That Will Inspire You

Our rehabilitation team in Spokane is something genuinely special. We are not a group that simply occupies the same building — we invest in one another. Knowledge gets shared freely, wins get celebrated loudly, and challenges get met as a unit. You will work in an environment where your clinical instincts are trusted, your professional growth is prioritized, and your presence makes a measurable difference every single shift.

And beyond the walls of your workplace, Spokane, Washington offers a lifestyle that is as energizing as it is grounding. Nestled in the heart of the Inland Northwest, Spokane is a city that has quietly blossomed into one of the region's most exciting urban destinations — without ever losing the warmth and approachability that makes it feel like home from day one.

Picture yourself waking up on a Saturday with the choice of paddling the Spokane River, hiking through the dramatic basalt columns of the Channeled Scablands, or cycling the beloved Centennial Trail that winds 40-plus miles through the city and into the surrounding countryside. In winter, world-class skiing at Mount Spokane and the nearby Silver Mountain resort sits practically in your backyard. Come summer, the region bursts into life with outdoor festivals, farmers markets, and long golden evenings that beg to be spent on a rooftop patio or riverside park bench.

Downtown Spokane hums with an arts scene that punches well above its size — independent galleries, live performance venues, acclaimed restaurants, and a thriving craft beverage culture make it easy to fill your off hours with discovery. And with a cost of living that remains refreshingly reasonable compared to its Pacific Northwest neighbors, Spokane gives you the rare ability to build a full, rich life without stretching your budget to its limit.

Who We're Looking For

We are searching for someone who treats occupational therapy as more than a career — someone who experiences it as a vocation. You are the kind of clinician who leans in when cases get complex, who celebrates a patient's small victories as loudly as the major milestones, and who brings curiosity and kindness in equal measure to every evaluation and every follow-up session.

You may be a veteran OTR/L with years of nuanced clinical experience, or you may be an emerging therapist with fresh energy, a sharp mind, and a hunger to grow under solid mentorship. In either case, if you bring integrity, adaptability, and a deep-seated drive to serve — you will find your people here.

Come Grow Where the River Runs and the Mountains Rise

This is more than a job posting. It is an invitation to plant roots in a city that rewards those who show up fully — for their patients, for their colleagues, and for themselves. In Spokane, you will find a community that values connection, a team that lifts you up, and a career that gives back as much as you pour into it.

If you are ready to do the most meaningful work of your career in a place that makes every weekend feel like an adventure — we are ready to welcome you.
