Job Description

Do What You Love, Four Days a Week, With Kids Who Need You Most.

The best occupational therapy happens when a clinician can show up fully present, focused, and truly invested in the child in front of them. Just you, your kids, and the clinical work that actually moves the needle.

At Milestone Therapy, our OTs are purely clinic-based which equals consistency for not only you but your kiddos as well. Same environment, same team, same familiar faces for the families who trust you with their child's care.

And then there is the schedule. Four days. Ten hours. Three-day weekend. Every single week. More time with your family, your friends, your hobbies, and yourself, so that when you show up for your kids on Monday, you are fully present and ready to pour into them.
