Description du poste

Cortlandt Healthcare in Cortlandt Manor, NY is 120 bed sub-acute facility and is hiring a full time Occupational Therapist to join our rehabilitation team. Hiring for this role is done on site by our Director of Rehab and facility leadership, not by an outside recruiter. You will interview with the people you will actually work with.

We are part of a growing network of 35 skilled nursing facilities, which means real clinical support behind you and real places to go from here.

Why This Occupational Therapy Role Is Different

• Interdisciplinary by design. OT, PT, SLP, nursing team, dietitian, respiratory, social work, and MDS work from the same plan and the same table. You will not be treating in a silo.

• A training environment. New graduates are welcome. You get structured mentorship, hands on orientation, and ongoing clinical education from clinicians who want to teach.

• Leadership that is present. Our Director of Rehab and facility administration are invested in where you want to be in five years and will talk with you about it regularly, not only once a year at review time.

• Growth you can actually reach. A 35 facility network that is still expanding means specialty program development, mentorship roles, and leadership tracks, including:

  • Dementia clinical focus champions

  • Respiratory champions and step down

  • Adaptive equipment liaison specialists

  • Assistant director and lead or senior therapist ladder programs

• Work life balance is an operating priority. Tell us the schedule you need, and we will work with you to build it. Our residents come first, and happy therapists equal happy patients.

What You Will Do

• Evaluate referred residents to determine medical status, functional ability, limitations, precautions, and rehabilitation potential

• Build individualized treatment plans with measurable, achievable goals based on each resident’s capacity and tolerance, under physician direction

• Deliver skilled occupational therapy interventions focused on ADL performance, safety, and return to prior level of function

• Complete evaluations, weekly progress notes, recertifications, and discharge documentation accurately and on time

• Educate residents, families, and caregivers on therapy techniques, safety, and carryover strategies

• Collaborate with PT, SLP, nursing, dietitians, and social work to deliver patient centered care and support discharge readiness

• Recommend adaptive equipment, durable medical equipment, and environmental modifications

• Supervise Occupational Therapy Assistants and students in accordance with the state practice act

What You Will Need

• Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program

• Valid Occupational Therapist license and registration in the state of practice, or license eligible

• Ability to supervise Occupational Therapy Assistants in accordance with the state practice act

• Comfort with clinical documentation including evaluations, weekly progress notes, recertifications, and discharge summaries

• Commitment to confidentiality, HIPAA, and Federal Resident Rights

Preferred, Not Required
