Acute Occupational Therapist / OT

Where Purpose Meets Community: Occupational Therapy in Kyle, SD

If you're drawn to work that matters—truly matters—you might find your purpose in a place like Kyle. Tucked into the windswept plains of South Dakota and rooted deep in Lakota culture, this small town isn’t just a dot on the map—it’s a community rich with resilience, history, and heart. And here, your work as an Occupational Therapist won’t just change lives—it’ll be a part of something bigger.

This is a role where your days are full of variety and impact. You’ll work with patients across the lifespan—helping elders maintain independence, supporting adults recovering from injury or illness, and guiding children as they learn and grow. In a rural setting like this, your adaptability and creativity will shine. Whether you’re teaching someone how to navigate daily tasks after a stroke or finding ways to help a child participate more fully in school or play, you’re making everyday life better—one patient at a time.

To join us, you’ll need a degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program, and an active South Dakota OT license or the ability to obtain one. We’re open to new graduates with a strong sense of mission, as well as seasoned OTs looking for meaningful work in a close-knit environment. More than anything, we’re looking for someone who’s collaborative, culturally respectful, and ready to serve with empathy and skill.

Here, you won’t just be another number. You’ll be part of a tight, passionate team that supports each other professionally and personally. We offer competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, continuing education opportunities, and plenty of room to grow and lead. You’ll have the chance to work alongside other healthcare professionals who are just as committed to equity and quality care as you are.

And outside of work? Kyle offers a different kind of richness—one that comes from quiet landscapes, close community ties, and meaningful connection. You’ll experience life at a slower, steadier pace, where traditions are honored and relationships are everything.

If you’ve been looking for a role where you can use your hands and heart to make a lasting difference—this is it.

Let’s make something beautiful happen here in Kyle.
