We are seeking an Occupational Therapist, sometimes referred to as a Registered Occupational Therapist (OTR) or Occupational Therapist, Registered/Licensed (OTR/L).

The Occupational Therapist (OT) will evaluate and treat patients with physical, cognitive, or psychosocial impairments to restore their ability to perform essential activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, grooming, and eating.

Utilizing customized interventions, adaptive equipment, and environmental modifications, they facilitate patient independence, support functional recovery, and contribute to discharge planning within the interdisciplinary care team.

Responsibilities

New graduates looking for the right hospital to grow their career as an Occupational Therapist are encouraged to apply. No experience is required (entry-level); candidates must be licensed or eligible to obtain licensure within 90 days.

Assess Functional Abilities: use standardized assessments, patient interviews, and real-world task simulations to determine the patient's current level of independence and areas of need

Develop Treatment Plans: create personalized treatment plans tailored to the patient’s condition, goals, and discharge needs

Train in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): guide patients in regaining the ability to perform basic ADLs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, toileting, and transferring (e. g., from bed to chair)

Recommend Adaptive Equipment: introduce and train patients to use tools that compensate for functional limitations

Environmental Modifications: Suggest changes to the home or hospital room setup to improve safety and accessibility

Educate Patients and Families: train family members or caregivers on how to assist properly without increasing the patient’s dependency, and provide guidance for ongoing care at home or in a rehab facility
