Job Description

Join Our Dynamic OT Team in Northern California!

Imagine ending your workday knowing you helped a child take a step toward independence.

Imagine sitting alongside a family in their home, coaching parents through everyday routines and developmental play that helps their child thrive. You're building meaningful 1:1 relationships, empowering caregivers, and helping children reach important milestones in the environments where they learn and grow.

Later you might be mentoring a local COTA, sharing your expertise and supporting their professional growth.

As part of our hybrid model, you'll provide virtual clinical consultation and oversight to team members across California, serving as a trusted OT resource and partnering with families, service providers, and educational teams to ensure continuity of care and high-quality services.

That's what we're building at TES Therapy.

We're looking for a licensed Occupational Therapist (full-time or part-time) to support children and families throughout Visalia and surrounding Central Valley communities.
