  • Your Role and Contribution

    As an occupational therapist, your efforts will go beyond just addressing symptoms; you'll play a crucial role in revitalizing daily routines, rebuilding confidence, and reigniting joy in life. Whether it's aiding stroke survivors in fine motor recovery or assisting orthopedic patients in regaining mobility after surgical procedures, your expertise will foster person-centered care that instills resilience and self-reliance.

    This environment is not about hurried evaluations or checklists; every patient embodies a story, and each therapy session unfolds a pivotal chapter in their rehabilitation journey. You will team up with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to shape rehabilitation strategies that honor the uniqueness of each individual.

    Why You Will Adore Our Team and the Charming Locale

    Our rehab team is something truly special. Here, we don't simply show up for our shifts; we uplift one another, exchange insights, and commemorate our collective achievements, both large and small. You'll discover a workplace where your contributions are valued, personal growth is committed, and your efforts yield visible, positive change daily.

    And speaking of the surroundings : Des Moines is a city that thrives on creativity, warmth, and a vibrant spirit. Say goodbye to cityscapes filled with concrete; here you'll find neighborhoods rich with artistic expression, food experiences ranging from gourmet food trucks to acclaimed restaurants, and parks featuring picturesque walking paths and community gardens.

    The city pulses with life-a hub of artists, innovators, and dreamers. Whether joining a local festival, visiting farmer's markets, or enjoying live performances, the community genuinely delights in its offerings while promoting a pace conducive to relaxation and connection.

    Who Should Apply

    We are seeking someone for whom occupational therapy is more than just a job; it's a vocation fueled by a desire to assist others. You should feel a spark of excitement when a patient regains control of their hand, takes steps with increased confidence, or shares heartfelt narratives previously silenced.

    Whether you're an accomplished OTR / L or a promising new graduate eager to start your journey, if you approach your work with passion, dedication, and a willingness to learn and adapt, you will find yourself flourishing here. If you're excited about harmonizing exceptional care with an exceptional lifestyle, you've just found your perfect fit.

    Join Us and Make a Meaningful Impact

    This is your chance to be part of something far greater than a mere job title. Here, your efforts will transform lives, drive recovery journeys, and help reclaim what has been lost. And you'll do it in a locale celebrated for its unique blend of creativity and community spirit.

    So, if you're eager to grow, make an impact, and immerse yourself in a caring community - we can't wait to welcome you aboard.
