Job description

Tired of High Caseloads? Join Us as a Geriatric Occupational Therapist – Make a Real Impact Every Day!

San Leandro, CA (Home base) — Floating to Concord | $41 - $62 /hour
Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm
Department: Geriatric Rehabilitation | PACE Program

Are you an OT who loves working hands-on with older adults—in real-world environments, not just clinical settings?

Do you enjoy helping people regain independence in their daily lives, from meal prep to hygiene, writing, and mobility at home?

If you’re ready to slow down, connect deeply with patients, and work on meaningful goals, we’d love to meet you!

About the Role

We’re hiring a compassionate Occupational Therapist to join our Geriatric Rehab team in the San Leandro location of our PACE program. You’ll primarily be based there, but may float to Concord depending on participant needs.

This is not a high-paced or productivity-driven setting — it’s about holistic care, where you’ll help participants stay safe, independent, and out of long-term care facilities.

What You’ll Do

• Evaluate functional abilities and home environments
• Work with participants and caregivers to improve independence in ADLs (eating, dressing, grooming, bathing, etc.)
• Use our on-site simulated living environments (kitchens, bathrooms, stairs, etc.) for practical rehab
• Recommend and coordinate adaptive equipment and home modifications
• Visit participants' homes to assess and support safe setup
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to shape care plans
• No aides to supervise, but you’ll work alongside other OTs

What You Bring

• Licensed Occupational Therapist in California
• Degree from an accredited OT program
• 1+ years of experience working with the elderly or frail populations
• Valid CA driver’s license and ability to travel to multiple sites/residences

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Real-life impact - Help participants master tasks that matter: cooking, grooming, stairs, and more
• Supportive team - You’re never the only OT on site
• Patient-first approach - No outside insurance pressure
• Work-life balance - No weekends, evenings, or on-call
• Stability & growth - Join a mission-driven, well-supported healthcare model

Ready to help older adults thrive at home — not in facilities? Apply now!
