Occupational Therapist (OT)

Empower Independence. Restore Confidence. Change Lives.

Are you an Occupational Therapist who believes therapy is more than treatment - it's transformation?

We're looking for a compassionate, clinically skilled Licensed Occupational Therapist who is driven to help patients regain independence, mobility, and quality of life. In this role, you won't just follow a treatment plan - you'll lead care, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, and directly impact recovery outcomes every single day.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Make meaningful, measurable impact in patients' lives
• Lead and mentor a supportive therapy team
• Collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary professionals
• Play a key role in discharge planning and long-term success
• Work in a respectful, patient-centered environment

What You'll Do

Deliver Exceptional Patient Care

• Complete patient evaluations within 24 hours (or one business day) of referral
• Develop and implement individualized, goal-driven treatment plans
• Provide hands-on therapy aligned with physician directives
• Monitor progress and adjust care to maximize outcomes
• Prepare patients and families for safe, confident discharge

Lead & Collaborate

• Supervise and mentor Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs), aides, and students
• Partner with nursing and interdisciplinary teams to ensure coordinated care
• Participate in care conferences, utilization reviews, and rehabilitation meetings
• Provide in-service training and support to staff

Drive Clinical Excellence

• Maintain accurate, compliant documentation in accordance with state practice acts and payer guidelines
• Facilitate caregiver education and maintenance programs
• Recommend and coordinate durable medical equipment (braces, walkers, canes, adaptive devices, etc.)
• Ensure therapy equipment remains safe and operational

What You Bring

Education & Credentials

• Bachelor's Degree in Occupational Therapy (Master's or Doctorate preferred)
• Active Ohio Occupational Therapist license in good standing
• Commitment to ongoing continuing education

Skills & Strengths

• Strong clinical reasoning and problem-solving ability
• Ability to interpret and apply clinical, regulatory, and policy guidelines
• Excellent communication with patients, families, and healthcare professionals
• Proficiency with electronic medical records (Casamba, PointClickCare, or similar systems)
• A positive, team-focused mindset

Physical & Work Environment

This role is active and hands-on. You'll frequently stand, walk, reach, push/pull, and assist patients with mobility. The environment is professional, collaborative, and patient-focused, with reasonable accommodations available as needed.

The Difference You'll Make

• Every brace fitted.
• Every adaptive device ordered.
• Every caregiver trained.
• Every milestone reached.

You help patients move from dependence to independence - and that's life-changing work.

If you're ready to grow your leadership skills, practice at the top of your license, and join a team that values excellence in rehabilitation, we'd love to meet you.
