Job description

FOX Rehabilitation is growing in Flushing, NY, and we’re looking for motivated, licensed Occupational Therapy Assistants who want to make a hands‑on difference in the lives of older adults. Working closely with a supervising Occupational Therapist, you’ll carry out individualized treatment plans, guide patients through exercises and functional activities, and help them rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence, all through FOX’s signature Geriatric House Calls™ model, delivered where patients live.
