Your Role Here

In this pivotal role, you'll go beyond merely treating ailments; you'll play a critical part in restoring daily routines, rebuilding self-confidence, and reigniting the joy of living. Your expertise will be essential as you assist stroke survivors in fine motor rehabilitation or guide orthopedic patients in reclaiming their mobility post-surgery. Every day is an opportunity to provide meaningful, patient-centered care that cultivates resilience.

This position is far removed from the mundane checklist approach; it is a compassionate environment where each patient's unique journey unfolds as their own story, with each therapy session marking a chapter in their transformative experience. You will work in sync with fellow healthcare professionals - doctors, therapists, and social workers - to design rehabilitation plans that reflect the uniqueness of each individual.

Why You'll Love Your Team and Your New City

We've fostered a community here that goes beyond professional ties. Our rehab team is a supportive family, where we uplift one another, share knowledge, and celebrate every achievement - both big and small. This is a workplace where your contributions are valued, personal growth is encouraged, and your impact on patients' lives shines through daily.

And let's talk about Baton Rouge : a city bursting with vibrant culture and enticing experiences. Here, the landscape tells a story of its own - from sprawling parks and serene bayous to lush gardens and spirited festivals. The food scene is nothing short of phenomenal, offering a fusion of flavors that honor the rich Creole and Cajun traditions. Dive into dishes that tantalize your palate, from gumbo to po'boys, all while enjoying the sounds of live jazz and blues that echo from local venues.

Explore unique shops, artsy hubs, and friendly neighborhood hangouts that contribute to a sense of community unlike any other. As a city that thrives on creativity and warmth, you'll discover a rhythm that promotes relaxation, encouraging you to take leisurely walks along the riverfront and enjoy meaningful conversations with neighbors.

Who Is Our Ideal Candidate?

We're on the lookout for an individual who views occupational therapy as more than just a job; we seek someone who considers it a calling. You'll thrive here if the smallest victory - whether it's a patient grasping a fork for the first time or sharing a moment they couldn't express before - ignites a spark in you.

Whether you are a seasoned OTR / L with years of experience or a fresh graduate brimming with potential, this opportunity will resonate with you if you bring your heart and dedication to the team. If the concept of merging high-caliber care with a high-quality lifestyle speaks to you - welcome home!
