Whether you are a seasoned expert or just embarking on your professional path, this position presents an incredible opportunity to make meaningful contributions in a dynamic environment.

  • Craft Tailored Treatment Plans : Assess patient needs and create personalized therapy strategies aimed at achieving functional milestones
  • Implement Therapeutic Interventions : Leverage evidence-based practices to enhance patients' motor skills, cognitive function, and daily living abilities
  • Collaborate with Multidisciplinary Teams : Work alongside OTs, PTs, STs, physicians, and nursing staff to deliver comprehensive, holistic care
  • Educate Patients and Families : Provide guidance to patients and their families about therapy techniques that support ongoing improvement at home
  • Track and Report Patient Progress : Monitor clinical outcomes and adapt treatment plans as necessary, ensuring that patients remain on a successful path

Education Requirements

  • Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited school
  • Ongoing education or post-graduate certifications will be encouraged and supported
  • Certifications

  • Current Occupational Therapist (OTR / L) license required
  • NBCOT (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) certification mandatory

  • Access to clinical mentorship and professional growth resources
  • Use of elite tools, modern facilities, and effective documentation systems

  • Your Journey with Us

    In this role, your impact will extend beyond treating mere symptoms; you'll facilitate the restoration of routines, rebuild newfound confidence, and ignite joy in everyday activities. From assisting stroke rehabilitation patients with fine motor skill recovery to guiding orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, you will use all of your skills to provide person-centered care that nurtures resilience and independence.

    This is more than a job-it's a commitment to e individual stories, with each therapy session representing a chapter in a patient's journey to recovery. You will engage closely with fellow therapists, doctors, nurses, and social workers to develop rehabilitation plans as unique as the individuals we're helping.

    Why You Will Love Us and What Chicago Offers

    We've created a vibrant community here. Our rehabilitation team doesn't simply perform their duties; we support one another, exchange ideas, and celebrate every progress step together. You will discover an environment where your input is valued, your professional growth is nurtured, and your influence on others is evident day in and day out.

    And the locale? Chicago is a metropolis bursting with life and excitement. It is an expansive landscape sprawling with iconic architecture, energetic neighborhoods, and endless culinary delights-from renowned deep-dish pizza to Michelin-starred restaurants. Experience world-class museums, buzzing theater districts, and flourishing arts that showcase vibrant local cultures. Whether you choose to wander the shores of Lake Michigan or dive into the lively nightlife, Chicago offers an unparalleled urban lifestyle that balances ambition with leisure.

    About You

    We seek individuals who view occupational therapy as more than a profession, but rather as a calling. We want someone who sparks joy witnessing a patient regain full hand function, who feels accomplished seeing them walk more independently, or who cherishes the moment a patient shares a story they thought lost.

    Whether you're a seasoned OTR / L professional or a promising graduate ready to take your first steps into the field, you will excel in this role if you bring warmth, determination, and humility to everything you do. If blending high-quality care with a fulfilling lifestyle resonates with you, consider this your new home.

    Your Invitation to Make a Difference

    This is your doorway to join an initiative that transcends mere job title, where your contributions will change lives, facilitate recoveries, and revive what was believed lost. All this, set against the backdrop of a city renowned for its illustrious blend of progress and harmony.

    If you're prepared to grow, contribute, and establish your roots in a community that cares deeply - we're excited to welcome you aboard.
