Want to practice therapy somewhere you actually get to know your patients?
At AdviniaCare, our residents aren't just names on a caseload. We give our OTs the chance to build meaningful relationships with residents, families, and an interdisciplinary team - while helping people regain independence and reclaim the everyday activities that matter most to them. Success here isn't always measured by a discharge home; sometimes it's relearning how to get dressed, hold a fork steady, or find a new way to do something that once felt lost.
We're growing our rehab team and looking for a compassionate Occupational Therapist - full-time or per diem - who wants to practice differently - one who values person-centered care, creative clinical problem-solving, and being part of a team that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Responsibilities
- Assess resident needs and develop individualized treatment plans to achieve goals
- Implement and modify treatment plans to address physical, cognitive, and emotional needs
- Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure coordinated, relationship-based care
- Educate residents and families on therapeutic exercises and techniques
- Monitor and report on resident progress and outcomes
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date patient care records
What We're Looking For
This role is best suited to OTs who value:
- Relationship-based care
- Creative clinical problem-solving
- Helping residents regain independence in daily life
- True interdisciplinary teamwork
- Making a meaningful difference in the lives of others
Requirements
- Current, valid Occupational Therapist license
How to Apply
If you believe therapy is about more than checking boxes and moving on to the next patient, we'd love to meet you. Apply today to join the AdviniaCare team.
