Job description

Overview

We are looking for passionate and dynamic Pediatric Occupational Therapists to join our team at Mighty Minds and Muscles Therapy & Coaching Services. If you're ready to make a real difference in the lives of children and families, we want to hear from you! Our team is growing, and we have flexible, part-time to full-time opportunities available for both school-based and clinic-based work.

What makes this role special

For the school-based setting, we encourage and train our therapists to think "out of the box" - bringing the quality and creativity of private practice into the educational environment. You will work in schools but not be bound by the "school therapy" mindset. If your passion lies in helping kids thrive through movement, play, and functional skill-building — not just seated handwriting drills — then you’ll thrive with us. In the clinic-based setting, you will receive ongoing mentorship and support through both individual and group meetings. If you want to take your OT career to the next level, we will help you do that! We want dynamic, enthusiastic therapists who are self-driven and independent but who want to seek mentorship to grow their therapeutic mindset and tool bag.
