Pediatric Occupational Therapist - Evaluations and Treatment Planning
About the role
This is a clinic-based position with a priority focus on evaluations, treatment planning, and case supervision — and a schedule that's fully flexible to what works for you.
Evaluations are scheduled during daytime hours (not after-school hours) and on Saturdays, for those who want it. From there, it's your choice: some therapists prefer to focus solely on evaluations, while others combine morning evaluations with afternoon treatment sessions or additional clinic/school hours. There's no fixed structure — you build the caseload that fits your life. This flexibility makes it a great fit for a therapist who wants to avoid — or only occasionally take on — afternoon/after-school hours, including clinicians balancing caregiving responsibilities after school.
As your involvement grows, there's also the opportunity to step into a mentorship role — supervising and monitoring cases handled by other therapists, and joining occasional treatment sessions for observation and support when needed.
