Activity Therapist Opportunity - Per Diem

HRI Hospital is seeking Activity Therapists for our inpatient psychiatric units. This is a highly satisfying opportunity for a clinical professional who thrives on providing highly individualized care to a very acute patient population. We are hiring for a per diem position with hours available on weekdays and/or weekends.

HRI Hospital is a 66-bed psychiatric facility with adult inpatient services and several partial hospitalization programs. We are part of the largest private mental health system in Massachusetts and can therefore provide competitive salaries, benefits, and opportunities for growth and development. At the same time, the smaller size of our facility allows us to provide personalized attention and training to all our employees. Employees are part of a multi-disciplinary team of dynamic professionals providing high quality care to a diverse inpatient and outpatient group of individuals. We are located in Brookline – right near Boston University and Coolidge Corner – and provide easy access to public transportation and free parking. Employees are our most valued asset and we encourage qualified individuals to apply.
