Job Description

If you’re an Occupational Therapist (OT) who wants to build meaningful relationships with your patients and see the long-term impact of your care—this is it.

In this role, you’ll provide 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.

Unlike high-volume, fast-paced settings, this role offers the ability to focus on 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.
