Job Description
Some of the most meaningful moments in occupational therapy happen through everyday accomplishments that make an extraordinary difference in a student’s life. A child developing the fine motor skills to complete classroom activities with greater confidence.
A student learning strategies to manage sensory challenges and participate more fully in the school day. A teenager gaining the skills and independence needed to navigate daily routines and prepare for life beyond the classroom.
At ACCESS Academy, those moments are what our work is all about.
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who loves working with children and adolescents, sees the possibilities in every student, and wants to be part of a team that shows up for one another as much as they do for the students they serve.
Our therapists work alongside educators, evaluators, and other clinical professionals in a collaborative school environment where expertise is valued, ideas are shared, and everyone works toward a common goal: helping children and adolescents reach their potential.
A rewarding career with room for life outside of work
We know that meaningful progress doesn't happen by accident. It takes skilled therapists, the right resources, and a team that supports one another. We also believe the professionals doing this important work deserve time for their own lives.
