Job Description

Job description

Our physical therapy clinic has decided to add an Occupational Therapist (OT) to our staff. We're interesting in serving a greater subsection of the senior community, so we need an experienced OT to help those patients improve their quality of life. We focus on providing compassionate, holistic care to our patients. Our clinic team works with their doctors and families to establish creative but conservative plans of care that reduce the potential for injury and allow patients to set their own paces. We're looking for an OT candidate with similar styles and ideals in his or her own practice.
