Make an impact in our Home and Community Program: we’re looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist who is enthusiastic about providing functional rehabilitation wherever life happens—at home, school, work, or in the community.

About the role

You’ll treat clients beyond staged environments, helping them with real-life experiences like cooking in their own kitchen, navigating grocery stores, restaurants, outdoor activities, and the workplace. You thrive in an autonomous setting and value being part of a collaborative team of dynamic therapists.

Responsibilities

  • Perform evaluations and develop treatment plans.
  • Regularly re-assess effectiveness of treatment plans, attend staffing meetings, and family conferences.
  • Perform discharge evaluations, make appropriate recommendations for home and community safety, and provide referral and education resources.
  • Communicate patient’s needs and progress to the treatment team, physician, person receiving services, and family members.
  • Collaborate with other disciplines to ensure coordination of care and enhance patient outcomes.

Requirements

  • Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
  • Current, unrestricted state license as an Occupational Therapist.
  • Current CPR certification.
  • A minimum of one year’s work experience as an Occupational Therapist.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of rehabilitation techniques related to complex neurological diagnoses (preferred).
  • Effective and professional verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to lift 50 pounds; occasionally lift, move, or transfer patients up to 100 pounds following safety procedures.
  • Duties require fine motor skills, visual acuity, and walking/standing for extended periods.
  • Additional physical requirements: pushing/pulling, bending/stooping, reaching, kneeling, and positioning frequently.
  • A health screen or examination may be required prior to assignment and periodically thereafter to verify physical capability.

Benefits

  • Flexible schedule created by you.
  • Paid per hour (not just per visit).
  • Driving, travel, and mileage reimbursement.
  • Educational programs and growth/advancement opportunities.

Pay

USD $60.00 – $70.00 per hour.
