Description

Come grow with us as an Occupational Therapist at Soar Autism Center! Soar is building a network of interdisciplinary clinics where children with autism and their families receive life-shaping services designed to help them thrive. We focus on early intervention and integrated autism care, bringing together occupational therapy, speech, ABA, and mental health services to support the whole child and family.

How the role is designed:

Soar's OT role is built for clinicians who want to keep growing in their practice while working as part of a truly interdisciplinary care team. You'll support young children during a critical stage of development, helping them build the motor, sensory, feeding, and daily living skills that allow them to participate more fully in the world around them. You don't need to come to Soar as an expert in every aspect of autism care — what matters is strong clinical fundamentals, curiosity, and a commitment to learning and delivering thoughtful, high-quality care.

Compensation and role design:

Base pay:$86,000.00 - $103,500.00/year per year. Annual performance bonus potential up to $3,800. Additional compensation beyond the range for achieving clinical certifications.

Schedule flexibility: Full-time clinicians can choose between 4x10 and 5x8 work schedules, based on available scheduling options.

Support and development: Ongoing training, continuing education, and opportunities to learn from experienced clinicians and national experts in occupational therapy.

True interdisciplinary care: Work closely with SLPs, BCBAs, psychologists, RBTs, and other clinicians through coordinated treatment planning, co-treatment, client overlaps, and weekly interdisciplinary care meetings.

Clinical growth: Deepen your expertise in early intervention and autism care while building skills across feeding, sensory development, motor development, and interdisciplinary treatment, with opportunities to grow your career as Soar expands.

Culture that lives out our Values: Join a team committed to high-quality, ethical care, collaboration, continuous improvement, and creating an environment where clinicians can do their best work.

What You'll Do:

Plan and deliver naturalistic, developmentally appropriate occupational therapy for children ages 2-6 in a center-based, early intervention setting.

Develop individualized interventions that support fine motor skills, gross motor skills, feeding, sensory needs, and other activities of daily living.

Conduct multidisciplinary assessments and develop coordinated treatment plans alongside clinicians in ABA, speech therapy, psychology, and other specialties.

Collaborate closely with speech therapists and other clinicians, including opportunities for co-treatment and shared clinical problem-solving.

Coach and mentor RBTs so occupational therapy goals can be reinforced throughout a child's day while supporting their own clinical growth and development.

Monitor client progress and continually adapt treatment plans and goals based on data, clinical judgment, and each child's evolving needs.

Partner with families to develop meaningful goals, communicate progress, and provide practical strategies they can use outside of therapy.

Bring your OT expertise to weekly interdisciplinary care meetings, helping the team understand the whole child and build coordinated approaches to care.

Qualifications:

Master's or Doctorate Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.

Current license to practice occupational therapy.

Preference for OTs with 3+ years of experience, while remaining open to newer clinicians who are excited to grow their practice.

A playful, engaging approach and the ability to build strong connections with young children.

Strong clinical judgment and a commitment to thoughtful, individualized care.

Interest in collaborating across disciplines and learning from clinicians with different areas of expertise.

Clear professional communication, both verbally and in writing.

A mission-driven approach focused on delivering high-quality, ethical care for children and families.

What You'll Get:

Real multidisciplinary collaboration. Work side-by-side with SLPs, BCBAs, psychologists, RBTs, and other autism care professionals through client overlaps, co-treatment, coordinated planning, and weekly interdisciplinary care meetings.

Keep growing as a clinician. Receive ongoing training, continuing education, and opportunities to learn from experienced clinicians and national experts in occupational therapy.

Expand your clinical toolkit. Build deeper expertise in early intervention, autism care, feeding, sensory development, motor skills, and interdisciplinary treatment.

See your impact throughout the child\'s day. Coach RBTs and collaborate with other clinicians so OT goals extend beyond individual treatment sessions and become part of the child\'s broader care experience.

Flexible full-time scheduling. Choose between 4x10 and 5x8 work schedules, based on available scheduling options.

Build a career, not just a caseload. Pursue opportunities for clinical growth and career advancement as Soar continues to expand.

Help advance autism care. Be part of an organization deeply focused on high-quality, ethical services and improving the experience of care for children and families.

A culture that appreciates your work. Shout-outs, boo yahs, and staff appreciation are part of how we recognize the impact our teams make every day.

• Great company benefits, including:

  • Quality medical plans with a $0 deductible, plus dental and vision coverage.

  • A company 401(k) with company contribution after one year of service.

  • 11 company holidays plus 15 additional days off.

  • Short-term disability coverage for all staff, paid by Soar.

  • Student loan reimbursement assistance.
