Transform Lives as an Occupational Therapy Specialist in the Vibrant City of Chicago

Overview

Are you an enthusiastic Occupational Therapy Specialist eager to empower patients in their journey towards independence and enhanced quality of life? If you dream of making a profound difference while advancing your career in an urban landscape celebrated for its rich culture, artistic flair, and breathtaking skyline - this is your moment.

We are on the lookout for a full-time, licensed OTR / L to join our innovative and dynamic therapy team that prioritizes creativity, collaboration, and impactful results. Whether you're an accomplished professional or just beginning your adventure, this position offers you the chance to engage in rewarding work within a city that pulses with life and inspiration.

Job Description

  • Create Tailored Treatment Approaches : Recognize individual patient needs and design personalized therapy plans to support them in accomplishing their functional objectives.
  • Implement Therapeutic Practices : Apply evidence-based modalities to foster improvements in patients' motor skills, cognitive abilities, and everyday living tasks.
  • Collaborate with Multidisciplinary Teams : Work in close partnership with OTs, PTs, STs, physicians, and nursing staff to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care.
  • Educate Patients and Families : Provide training to patients and caregivers on therapy techniques to facilitate sustained progress at home.
  • Track and Report Progress : Monitor patient outcomes and modify treatment plans as necessary to ensure consistent advancement towards their goals.

Education

  • Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited institution.
  • Encouragement and support for continuing education or post-graduate certifications.
  • Certifications

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

  • A genuine passion for helping others and a drive to assist individuals in achieving their utmost level of independence.
  • Effective, compassionate communication skills with both patients and fellow team members.
  • Innovative thinking with the ability to adapt strategies to meet diverse needs.
  • A self-starter who's equally comfortable working independently and collaborating within an interdisciplinary team.
  • Benefits

  • A nurturing, team-focused work environment with opportunities for professional growth.
  • Flexible full-time scheduling options.
  • Access to clinical mentorship and developmental resources.
  • Utilization of top-notch tools, facilities, and documentation systems.
  • Engagement in quality improvement and innovative projects.
  • Your Role

    In this role, your impact goes beyond merely addressing symptoms - you will rehabilitate routines, re-establish confidence, and rekindle joy in everyday life. From guiding stroke survivors through fine motor rehabilitation to helping orthopedic patients reclaim their mobility post-surgery, you'll employ your expertise to deliver person-centered care that inspires resilience and autonomy.

    This isn't an environment for shortcuts or checkoffs. Rather, it's a space where every patient symbolizes a unique story, and each therapeutic session scripts a chapter in their recovery journey. You'll collaborate closely with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to co-develop rehabilitation plans that celebrate the individual behind every diagnosis.

    Why You Will Love This Team - and the City That Inspires You

    We have cultivated a unique culture here. Our rehabilitation team doesn't just show up for work - we motivate each other, share insights, and celebrate victories together, no matter how small. You'll discover a workplace where your voice carries weight, your personal growth is prioritized, and your contributions are recognized every single day.

    Plus, there's the backdrop : Chicago, a city that promises a lively urban experience filled with diversity and opportunity. Forget mundane office settings - immerse yourself in a place where historical architecture meets stunning waterfront views, and culinary delights from around the globe await at every corner. Enjoy world-class theaters, art galleries, and music venues that thrive in this creative hub, all while being part of a community that balances ambition with connection.

    Your Ideal Match

    We are in search of someone who views occupational therapy not just as a role, but as a vocation. A professional who feels a burst of joy when a patient regains dexterity, walks with newfound independence, or shares a long-silenced tale.

    Whether you are an experienced OTR / L or a new graduate just embarking on your career path, you'll flourish in our environment if you bring compassion, commitment, and a collaborative spirit. If the idea of combining exceptional care with an equally remarkable lifestyle speaks to you - your search ends here.

    Join Us in Creating Something Remarkable

    This is your chance to embrace a role that transcends a mere job title. Here, your contributions will shape lives, fuel recoveries, and restore hope. And you will do so in a vibrant city known for its energetic spirit and sense of community.

    So if you're ready to evolve, contribute, and be immersed in a caring community - we are excited to meet you.
