  • What if your next Occupational Therapy opportunity offered more than just a job?

Imagine joining a rehabilitation team where your clinical expertise is respected, your professional growth is encouraged, and the work you do makes a meaningful difference in someone's life every single day.

At AdvantageCare Rehabilitation, we're looking for a compassionate, motivated Full-Time Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) to join our rehabilitation team at Fair Acres in Media, Pennsylvania!

Whether you're an experienced Occupational Therapist looking for a fresh start, a newer clinician ready to build your career, or a new graduate searching for the right team to help you succeed, we'd love to meet you!

We believe that great therapy starts with great therapists, and great therapists deserve a workplace where they can thrive.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

Supportive Leadership That Understands Rehabilitation

At AdvantageCare Rehabilitation, we believe that therapists do their best work when they feel supported, trusted, and appreciated.

Our organization was founded by therapists, and our leadership understands the unique rewards and challenges of providing exceptional rehabilitation services.

You'll have the opportunity to work with a collaborative therapy team that values open communication, clinical expertise, and quality patient care.

Make a Real Difference in Residents' Lives

At Fair Acres, you'll work with individuals who rely on skilled rehabilitation services to regain independence, improve functional abilities, and enhance their quality of life.

Whether you're helping someone regain the ability to dress independently, improve upper-extremity strength, or safely return to meaningful daily activities, your work will have a direct and lasting impact.

Every milestone matters, and you'll be part of making those moments happen!

Clinical Autonomy with the Support You Deserve

We believe Occupational Therapists should be empowered to use their education, clinical reasoning, and professional judgment to provide individualized treatment.

At AdvantageCare, you'll have the opportunity to develop meaningful treatment plans while benefiting from the collaboration and resources of an established rehabilitation organization.

A Team That Values Collaboration

Great rehabilitation outcomes don't happen in isolation.

You'll collaborate with Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants, Speech-Language Pathologists, nursing staff, and other healthcare professionals.

Together, you'll help residents work toward their goals while creating a positive, supportive rehabilitation environment.

Full-Time Stability and Opportunities to Grow

Looking for a place where you can build a career rather than simply fill a position?

This full-time opportunity offers the chance to establish meaningful patient relationships, strengthen your clinical skills, and grow professionally within an organization that believes in promoting from within.

What You'll Do

Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on clinical findings, resident goals, and functional outcomes.

Provide skilled interventions to improve independence with dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting, feeding, and other meaningful daily activities.

Address upper-extremity strength, coordination, range of motion, fine motor skills, and functional performance.

Incorporate therapeutic activities, adaptive equipment, compensatory strategies, and environmental modifications as appropriate.

Monitor resident progress and modify treatment plans based on clinical response and functional improvement.

Provide appropriate direction and supervision to Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants in accordance with Pennsylvania practice requirements.

Collaborate with Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, nursing, physicians, and other interdisciplinary team members.

Educate residents, families, and caregivers on safety strategies, adaptive techniques, and recommendations that support continued independence.

Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in accordance with professional, regulatory, and facility standards.

  • Participate in interdisciplinary care planning, progress reviews, and discharge recommendations.
  • Help foster a positive, compassionate, and patient-centered rehabilitation environment.
