Job description

Partners in Development | Pediatric Occupational Therapist (Home-Based Early Intervention)

$70,000 - $85,000

Therapy that starts with families.

At Partners in Development, we believe the most meaningful growth happens in everyday moments: play, meals, bedtime routines, and all the in-between times that make up a child's world. We work alongside parents and caregivers, not just with the child, because families are the experts on their own lives. Our sessions are play-based, child-led, and grounded in early intervention principles. We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who works the same way.

About the role

This is a home-based role serving primarily early-intervention clients (birth to three) in the Chicagoland area.

You’ll see children in their natural environment, coach the adults who are with them all week, and build goals that fit each family's real routines. You’ll learn directly from our founder and get support obtaining your Illinois Early Intervention credential.

Flexible scheduling:

You set your own schedule and build your caseload around your life and your families' routines. Full-time position is a minimum of 25 sessions per week. Sessions beyond this baseline are paid with a 20% increase of your hourly rate.

• A monthly health insurance stipend paid to every clinician, whether you have your own insurance or on a family member’s plan. If you're already covered elsewhere, you keep it.
• A monthly cell phone stipend
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• Mileage reimbursement for home visits
• iPad and equipment provided.
• Professional liability (malpractice) coverage

What you'll do

• Provide OT treatment to infants and young children in their homes and everyday settings.
• Coach parents and caregivers so progress carries into daily routines after the sessions.
• Contribute to IFSP goals alongside the early intervention team.
• Keep timely, accurate documentation, with the admin load kept light.

What we're looking for

• Degree in Occupational Therapy and an active or pending Illinois OT license.
• Genuine interest in early intervention and play-based, child-led, family-centered care. Neurodiversity affirming. New grads welcome.
• Illinois Early Intervention credential is a plus. If you don't have it yet, we'll help you earn it.
• Reliable vehicle and comfort working independently in family homes.
