We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist (OT) seeking a primary therapist role from evaluation to discharge.

Ideal schedule: 15-20 hours per week or more if your availability allows.

Responsibilities

• Perform evaluations and develop treatment plans.
• Regularly re-assess the effectiveness of treatment plans, attend staffing meetings, and family conferences.
• Perform discharge evaluations, make 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.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Demonstrates knowledge of rehabilitation techniques related to complex neurological diagnoses (preferred).
• Effective and professional communication in verbal and written interactions.
• Ability to lift 50 pounds; moving, lifting, or transferring patients may involve lifting up to 100 pounds following safety procedures.
• Duties require fine motor skills, visual acuity, and walking/standing for extended periods.
• Additional physical requirements include 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 for assigned duties with or without reasonable accommodations.

Benefits

• Flexible schedule created by you.
• Paid per hour (not just per visit).
• In-person, 1:1 therapy with indirect services from home (e.g., documentation/communication).
• Continuity of care as the primary therapist from evaluation to discharge.
• Team collaboration and co-treats.
• Drive time reimbursed at your clinical rate plus mileage reimbursement.
• No weekend shifts.
• Access to educational programs.
