We’re looking for an Occupational Therapist ready to bring their talents where they can make a real, visible impact every day.

Here, your work won’t get lost in the shuffle. You’ll know your patients by name, understand their stories, and become a trusted part of their journey back to independence.

It’s the kind of role that keeps you grounded in purpose and inspired by progress.

To thrive here, you’ll need a degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program, along with an active Colorado OT license (or eligibility to obtain one). We welcome new grads ready to jump in and grow, as well as experienced therapists looking for more meaning and less red tape. A strong sense of adaptability, compassion, and community spirit will go a long way here.

What you’ll get in return? Beyond the joy of truly connecting with your patients, you’ll be supported by a down-to-earth, collaborative team that values your input. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, generous PTO, and a genuine investment in your professional development.

La Junta may be small, but it’s full of charm—quiet mornings, wide skies, and a community that shows up for one another. Whether you’re looking to slow down your lifestyle or step into a role with heart, this might be the place for you.
