Overview

Do you have a passion for helping individuals reclaim their independence and enhance their daily living? If you are looking to make a substantial difference while developing your career in a region brimming with unique culture, innovation, and warm-hearted communities, this is your ideal opportunity.

We invite a full-time, licensed OTR/L to join our dynamic therapy team, where creativity, collaboration, and meaningful outcomes are at the forefront of our mission. Whether you are a seasoned professional or taking your first steps into the field, this role gives you the chance to engage in impactful work that resonates throughout the community.

  • Collaborate with Diverse Teams: Partner with OTs, PTs, STs, medical professionals, and nursing staff to provide comprehensive, integrated care.
  • Educate Patients and Caregivers: Instruct patients and their families on therapy methods that support ongoing progress at home.
  • Track Progress and Document Changes: Monitor patient development and adapt treatment plans as necessary to ensure continued improvement.

  • Effective and empathetic communication with patients and team members alike.
  • The ability to think outside the box and adapt to varying patient needs.
  • Confidence in both autonomous and collaborative team settings.
Benefits

  • Clinical mentorship and resources for career progression.
  • Access to top-quality tools, facilities, and documentation systems.
  • Engagement in quality improvement projects and innovative initiatives.


Your Daily Impact

In this position, you'll do more than treat physical concerns; you'll restore routines, rebuild confidence, and reignite joy in daily life. Whether you are helping stroke survivors regain fine motor functions or assisting orthopedic patients in recovering mobility post-surgery, your expertise will ensure patient-centered care that inspires resilience and independence.

This isn't a job for checklists or shortcuts; it's a setting where every patient represents a unique journey, and each therapy session unfolds their incredible story. You'll collaborate closely with your fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to create rehabilitation plans tailored to each individual's needs and aspirations.

Why You'll Adore the Team and the Community

We have fostered an extraordinary work environment where our rehab team does more than just perform tasks - we uplift each other, exchange insights, and celebrate every achievement together, both large and small. Here, your input is valued, your personal growth is our priority, and your impact on our patients is evident every day.

The backdrop for this rewarding work is the vibrant community in Iowa, where possibilities abound for exploration and creativity. Experience alluring landscapes filled with friendly neighborhoods, fertile plains, and endless outdoor activities. Explore farmers' markets that celebrate fresh produce and local artisans, historic districts that vibrate with music, and inviting venues that host a mix of cultural events.

This is a place where creativity and commerce intertwine, where cuisine ranges from traditional fare to unique culinary experiences. Whether you're meandering around art galleries, enjoying live performances, or indulging in the region's rich flavors, you will find a lifestyle that balances engagement with tranquility.

Your Ideal Fit

We seek someone who views occupational therapy not merely as a profession, but as their true calling. Someone whose heart swells with excitement when a patient successfully takes their first steps or expresses their feelings in a new way after therapy.

Whether you are a veteran OTR/L or a newly certified bright star, you will thrive in our environment if you carry with you an authentic dedication to care, an eagerness to learn, and the humility to grow together. If you envision combining top-tier care with a high-quality lifestyle, you're in the right place.

Join Us in Creating Meaningful Change

This is your call to become part of something greater than just a job. Here, your work will help shape lives, propel recoveries, and restore what matters most to our patients. You'll live and work in a community known for its blend of vibrancy and peace.

If you're ready to evolve personally and professionally, giving back to a compassion-driven community - we can't wait to meet you.
