What You'll Be Doing

In your role, you will do more than just address issues; you will help reconstruct routines, revive confidence, and bring joy back to everyday activities. Whether you are guiding individuals recovering from strokes through fine motor activities or aiding orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, your expertise will be pivotal in delivering person-centered care that promotes resilience and independence.

This is not a setting for mere protocol adherence or checklist completion. Here, each patient represents a unique narrative, and every therapy session contributes to their journey. You will work hand-in-hand with other therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to create rehabilitation strategies tailored to the individual needs and aspirations of each patient.

Who We’re Actively Seeking

We are on the lookout for an individual who views occupational therapy as a vocation — not just a job. Someone who feels a rush of joy when a patient regains the use of an arm, walks with increased independence, or articulates thoughts previously locked away.

Whether you’re a seasoned OTR/L or a freshly minted professional, you will thrive here if you embody enthusiasm, dedication, and a humble spirit. If the thought of merging exceptional patient care with a fulfilling lifestyle resonates with you — you’ve just found your home.
