Job Details

Redefine Recovery While Immersing Yourself in Nature’s Northwoods Haven

 

Step into a career where clinical excellence meets an environment designed for balance and inspiration. We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Occupational Therapist to join a dynamic rehabilitation team serving patients across northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s western edge. Here, every day brings the chance to guide individuals toward renewed independence while surrounding yourself with breathtaking natural beauty.

 

This role offers variety and purpose: treating patients in inpatient, swing bed, skilled nursing, and outpatient settings. Whether you are helping an older adult adapt safely to daily living tasks, supporting a child with developmental challenges, or aiding someone in recovery after surgery, you will be central to a journey of healing and resilience.

 

Overview of Role

 

The Occupational Therapist plans, develops, and delivers individualized therapy programs aimed at restoring function, improving quality of life, and empowering patients of all ages. You’ll collaborate within a multidisciplinary team that includes physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and medical providers, ensuring comprehensive care for each patient.

 

With a supportive team culture, leadership opportunities, and the stability of a community-rooted healthcare system, this is a position where both career satisfaction and lifestyle fulfillment thrive.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate patients’ functional abilities and design targeted occupational therapy programs.
  • Deliver direct care in diverse settings — inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care.
  • Provide education and coaching for patients and families, focusing on independence and prevention.
  • Collaborate with physicians, therapists, and nursing staff to create holistic plans of care.
  • Document patient progress, adjust interventions as needed, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Maintain the highest standards of patient safety, infection control, and confidentiality.

 

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
  • Current Wisconsin OT certification (or eligibility to obtain).
  • CPR certification.
  • Strong interpersonal and leadership skills with a collaborative mindset.
  • Prior experience in acute care, rehabilitation, or outpatient therapy preferred but not required.

 

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation aligned with experience.
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision.
  • 403(b) retirement plan with employer match.
  • Generous paid time off and wellness benefits.
  • Continuing education reimbursement and licensure support.
  • Professional development in a team-based environment.

 

Living and Thriving in Northern Wisconsin

 

Picture yourself beginning your day with the crisp, clean air of the Northwoods. This corner of Wisconsin, resting along the rugged shores of Lake Superior, offers a quality of life that blends historic charm with outdoor adventure. The region’s vibrant small-town communities provide modern amenities, close-knit neighborhoods, and a culture deeply tied to the surrounding natural world.

 

For the outdoor enthusiast, the options are endless: paddle across the crystalline waters of the Apostle Islands, hike through lush forests that blaze with autumn color, or ski and snowshoe across silent, snow-covered trails in winter. Summers bring festivals, farmer’s markets, and long evenings enjoying the sun setting over the big lake. In every season, this is a place where life feels full, grounded, and in rhythm with nature.

 

Beyond recreation, the community offers affordable living, short commutes, and excellent schools — making it ideal for families and professionals alike. Here, you’ll find the rare chance to pursue a fulfilling career in healthcare while embracing a lifestyle rooted in balance, wellness, and connection.

 

Why Join Us?

 

This opportunity is more than just a job — it’s a calling. As an Occupational Therapist here, you won’t just guide patients through exercises and adaptive techniques. You’ll help them reclaim dignity, rediscover purpose, and reengage with the moments that matter most.

 

If you’re ready to grow your career while embracing a lifestyle shaped by nature’s beauty and community warmth, this could be the perfect fit. 

 

Apply today and bring your passion for healing to a place where work and life truly align.
