Job Description

If you’re an Occupational Therapist (OT) who loves to travel and wants to experience new destinations while helping patients achieve meaningful outcomes through compassionate, patient-centered therapy—this opportunity is for you.

In this role, you'll provide occupational therapy services to the adult and geriatric population during a travel assignment, working closely with patients to improve independence, mobility, safety, and overall quality of life. You'll have the opportunity to make an immediate impact, integrate with supportive interdisciplinary teams, and deliver exceptional care wherever your assignment takes you.

Here's your chance to focus on what matters most—quality outcomes, consistency of care, and clinical autonomy—while experiencing new locations and 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.

  • Deliver care through therapeutic activities, ADL training, and adaptive techniques

Help patients improve their ability to perform daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and meal preparation

Occupational Therapist Career Context

In Washington, the Occupational Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$113k (308 salary observations; 530 listings), vs ~$97k nationally (6,684 salary observations; 25,690 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.

The cost-of-living index for Washington is 107.0 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$97k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $90k in an average-cost state. 59.8% of Washington clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Of the 46 active Occupational Therapy listings this role was benchmarked against, 9% are remote, 35% have no call, 57% require no weekends.

Occupational Therapy pay on WeekdayDoc is up 1.5% vs. the prior quarter (through Sep 2026).

Location & Logistics

Washington has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$97k midpoint, that is roughly $4k–$7k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
