Job Description

Cranial Technologies is the only company in the world completely dedicated to researching and treating plagiocephaly (commonly called flat head syndrome). With over 500,000 babies successfully treated, we are the plagiocephaly experts and the leader in pediatric cranial shaping orthoses.

Cranial Technologies also provides treatment with EarWell® to correct infant ear shapes without surgery. With over 600,000+ successful outcomes, EarWell® is a proven, non-invasive treatment option for families.

We are currently looking for a Nationwide Traveling Occupational Therapist based out of New Jersey! This is a full-time position for someone that is looking for an opportunity to practice in a variety of Cranial Technologies locations across the United States.

This position is in a pediatric clinical outpatient setting, working exclusively with infants. If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to specialize in a non-traditional, niche area, Cranial Technologies may be the place for you. This is a unique opportunity to treat patients in a child-friendly, state-of-the-art clinic.

Do love to fly and travel around the United States?

In this role you will travel to any state where we have a Cranial Technologies clinic. We’re currently in 32 states and are continuing to grow!

Travel is typically on a Monday afternoon/evening. You work in the clinic Tuesday – Friday and fly home Friday afternoon/evening. You are home every Saturday and Sunday!

You will receive your travel assignment 2+ weeks in advance!

You will be traveling every week, either to a local clinic or to another state. We are looking for candidates close to a major airport for ease of travel booking!

Cranial Technologies will pay for your travel expenses, and you also get a per diem for your time there. All you need to worry about is treating our babies!

  • Do you thrive in fast paced and new settings?
  • You may be in a different clinic every week working with new teammates and building relationships across the company!
  • You will be taking over a caseload for another clinician, so you are always meeting new families!
  • What does a clinician do at Cranial Technologies?

As a Clinician, you will treat infants to reshape head shapes with the DOC Band® and correct ear shapes with EarWell®. Pediatricians and parents alike look to our Clinicians as the experts in evaluation and in treatment of plagiocephaly as well as conditions involving misshapen ears. Our treating Clinicians develop great relationships with our families at every stage of their treatment process.

We hire from various backgrounds because each background is a great fit in its own way.

PTs and OTs are an excellent fit with their background knowledge of symmetry and asymmetry, cervical anatomy, torticollis, and infant/toddler development.

Certified Prosthetist-Orthotists & Certified Orthotists are also a strong fit because of their hands-on experience with orthotics and direct patient care.

A background in pediatrics is preferred, but not necessary as we have a formal training program that includes mentoring.

What We Have to Offer

  • You will see visible, measurable changes in two to three weeks
  • We value our employees and invest in their training and mentorship
  • Direct patient care with minimal paperwork

No Productivity/patient Quotas

  • Cranial Technologies is a nationwide company with future opportunities available in training and mentoring
  • Travel accommodations and expenses are covered by the company!

Qualifications

500 hours of basic orthotic fitting experience with off-the-shelf orthotic devices (e. g. splints, braces, maternity belts) *If you are unsure if you meet this requirement, please apply and we can discuss this with you further*
