Job description

Pediatric Occupational Therapist — $70/hour | Flexible Contract Position

Northbrook, IL | Independent Contractor

If you are a pediatric OT who has been thinking, "I love being an OT, I just wish I could do it on my own term?" - This job might be a really good fit

Maybe you love being a pediatric OT, but you're burnt out by the parts of the job that have nothing to do with actually being a therapist.

Productivity requirements. Huge caseloads. Rigid schedules. Feeling like you have to rush through sessions.

This position is a little different.

I'm the owner of a small private pediatric occupational therapy practice in Northbrook, and I'm looking for an experienced pediatric OT to join our team as an independent contractor.

The best part? You choose your schedule.

You can completely decide your own hours based on what works for you.

We currently have a therapist working Tuesday–Thursday, going on maternity leave in January. We're looking for someone who can help cover part or all of her leave.

You can:

• Cover part of the maternity leave schedule
• Cover the entire maternity leave schedule
• Create your own schedule based on your availability before, during and after her leave
• Take on additional clients as your schedule allows

There is no expectation that you work a traditional Monday–Friday schedule.

Compensation

$70/hour as an independent contractor

You control your schedule and the number of hours you want to work.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is a licensed Occupational Therapist in Illinois
• Has pediatric OT experience
• Is comfortable working independently
• Has strong clinical reasoning and confidence in their treatment planning
• Enjoys building relationships with children and their families
• Is reliable, communicative, and collaborative
• Wants to work in a small practice where therapists have autonomy

Why Taylor Johnson Therapy?

We're intentionally a small pediatric private practice.

That means you won't be one therapist in a huge clinic with a packed schedule and productivity targets hanging over your head.

I want our therapists to have the time and flexibility to actually provide good therapy.

You'll have autonomy in your clinical decision-making, a supportive team, and the flexibility to create a schedule that works for your life.
