Job Description
Some of the most meaningful moments in occupational therapy happen through small accomplishments that make an extraordinary difference in a young child’s life. A toddler learning to grasp a spoon and feed themselves independently. A preschooler developing the coordination and confidence to participate in play alongside friends. A child learning to navigate sensory experiences that once made everyday activities overwhelming.
At ACCESS Early Childhood, those moments are what our work is all about.
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who loves working with young children, sees the possibilities in every child, and wants to be part of a team that shows up for one another as much as they do for the children and families they serve.
Our therapists work alongside early childhood educators, evaluators, and other clinical professionals in a collaborative environment where expertise is valued, ideas are shared, and everyone works toward a common goal: helping young children build the foundational skills they need to learn, play, grow, and thrive.
A rewarding career with room for life outside of work
We know that meaningful progress doesn't happen by accident. It takes skilled therapists, the right resources, and a team that supports one another. We also believe the professionals doing this important work deserve time for their own lives.
At ACCESS, You'll Enjoy
