Job Description

Our Company

Rehab Without Walls Neuro Rehabilitation

Overview

  • Occupational Therapist (OT) – Neuro Home & Community
  • Peds opportunity available!

Why Clinicians Love This Role

  • Flexible scheduling with full control over your week
  • True clinical autonomy in treatment planning
  • 1:1 focused care (no double booking)

Paid Hourly + Paid Documentation Time

  • Mileage reimbursement + drive time paid (manageable and thoughtful coverage areas - no road warriors here - we keep you local!)
  • Neuro-focused, functional caseloads
  • We are building a neuro rehab model focused on real-life function—not clinic-based limitations.

As an Occupational Therapist in our home and community neuro program, you will help patients rebuild independence in the activities that matter most: daily routines, cognition, safety, and participation in life.

You’ll work directly in the patient’s home and community, where recovery actually happens—not in artificial clinic environments.

This role is built for OTs who want autonomy, flexibility, and meaningful outcomes without productivity pressure.

You Will Focus On

  • Activities of daily living (ADLs/IADLs)
  • Cognitive rehabilitation in real environments
  • Home safety and functional independence
  • Neuro recovery following stroke, TBI, and other conditions

If you want to help people regain real independence—not just complete exercises—this role will feel different immediately.
