Job Description

If you’re an Occupational Therapist (OT) who wants to empower patients to achieve meaningful outcomes through compassionate and patient-centered therapy—this is it.

In this role, you’ll provide occupational therapy services to the adult/geriatric population, working closely with patients to improve independence, mobility, safety, and overall quality of life. You’ll have the opportunity to follow patient progress over time and deliver truly patient-centered care in a collaborative clinical environment.

Here’s your chance to focus on what matters most—quality outcomes, consistency of care, and clinical autonomy while making a meaningful difference every day.

Therapy Management Corporation (TMC) is a trusted therapy provider dedicated to delivering high-quality rehabilitation services while creating environments where clinicians feel supported, valued and empowered.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Enjoy flexible scheduling options and a supportive work environment designed to promote work-life balance
  • Provide personalized, patient-centered occupational therapy focused on functional outcomes

Thrive in a collaborative, therapist-driven environment that encourages professional growth, mentorship and clinical autonomy

  • New grads are welcome!
