Job description

Occupational Therapist (OTR/L or COTA/L)

The Openshaw Spot | Ellsworth, Maine

Are you the kind of OT who gets excited about sensory gyms, celebrates the tiny wins, and isn't afraid to crawl through a tunnel or pretend to be a dinosaur? If so, we think you'll fit right in.

The Openshaw Spot is a growing pediatric therapy practice serving children and families throughout Downeast Maine. We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about helping children succeed while working alongside an incredible team that truly supports one another.

What makes us different?

We believe therapy should be evidence-based, child-led, collaborative, and fun. We invest in our clinicians, value work-life balance, and know that the best therapy happens when therapists feel supported.

Benefits

• 30-hour work week with full-time salary
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health insurance (Employer pays 25%)
• Paid Time Off (PTO) (120 hours a year)
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Paid continuing education, conferences, and licensure
• Flexible scheduling
• Mentorship and professional development
• Collaborative team culture
• Beautiful sensory gyms and treatment spaces
• Opportunities for leadership and career growth
• $2000 sign on bonus payable at 90 day review

We're Looking For Someone Who

• Is a licensed Occupational Therapist (or eligible for licensure in Maine)
• Loves working with children and families
• Thinks creatively and enjoys problem-solving
• Values teamwork and collaboration
• Wants to grow both professionally and personally
• Doesn't mind getting a little messy if it helps a child succeed!

At The Openshaw Spot, you'll find more than a job; you'll find a team that celebrates your successes, supports you through challenges, and genuinely enjoys coming to work each day.

Because life's too short to spend your career staring at four beige walls. We'd rather be building forts, swinging from monkey bars, and changing lives.
