Occupational Therapist

About the Role

Soar's Occupational Therapist role is designed for clinicians who want to grow in their practice while working as part of a truly interdisciplinary care team. You'll support young children during a critical stage of development, helping them build motor, sensory, feeding, and daily living skills to participate more fully in the world. Strong clinical fundamentals, curiosity, and a commitment to learning and delivering high-quality care matter more than expertise in every aspect of autism care.

Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver naturalistic, developmentally appropriate occupational therapy for children ages 2-6 in a center-based, early intervention setting.
• Develop individualized interventions supporting fine motor skills, gross motor skills, feeding, sensory needs, and activities of daily living.
• Conduct multidisciplinary assessments and develop coordinated treatment plans alongside clinicians in ABA, speech therapy, psychology, and other specialties.
• Collaborate closely with speech therapists and other clinicians, including co-treatment and shared clinical problem-solving.
• Coach and mentor RBTs to reinforce occupational therapy goals throughout a child's day while supporting their clinical growth.
• Monitor client progress and adapt treatment plans based on data, clinical judgment, and each child's evolving needs.
• Partner with families to develop meaningful goals, communicate progress, and provide practical strategies for use outside of therapy.
• Contribute OT expertise to weekly interdisciplinary care meetings to help the team understand the whole child and build coordinated care approaches.

Requirements

• Master's or Doctorate Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
• Current license to practice occupational therapy.
• Preference for OTs with 3+ years of experience, though open to newer clinicians eager to grow their practice.
• A playful, engaging approach and ability to build strong connections with young children.
• Strong clinical judgment and commitment to thoughtful, individualized care.
• Interest in collaborating across disciplines and learning from clinicians with different expertise.
• Clear professional communication, both verbally and in writing.
• A mission-driven approach focused on delivering high-quality, ethical care for children and families.

Benefits

• Real multidisciplinary collaboration with SLPs, BCBAs, psychologists, RBTs, and other autism care professionals through client overlaps, co-treatment, coordinated planning, and weekly interdisciplinary care meetings.
• Ongoing training, continuing education, and opportunities to learn from experienced clinicians and national experts in occupational therapy.
• Opportunities to expand your clinical toolkit with deeper expertise in early intervention, autism care, feeding, sensory development, motor skills, and interdisciplinary treatment.
• Ability to see your impact throughout the child's day by coaching RBTs and collaborating with other clinicians to extend OT goals beyond individual sessions.
• Flexible full-time scheduling options: choose between 4x10 and 5x8 work schedules.
• Career growth opportunities as Soar continues to expand.
• Culture of recognition with shout-outs, "boo yahs," and staff appreciation.
• Quality medical plans with a $0 deductible, plus dental and vision coverage.
• Company 401(k) with contribution after one year of service.
• 11 company holidays plus 15 additional days off.
• Short-term disability coverage for all staff, paid by Soar.
• Student loan reimbursement assistance.
