Rehab Without Walls Neuro Rehabilitation

Overview

Occupational Therapist (OT) - Neuro Home & Community

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.
