Your Role in Rehabilitation

In this role, your impact will extend beyond treating symptoms; you will aid in restoring daily routines, boosting confidence, and reigniting joy in life's simple pleasures. Whether guiding stroke patients through fine motor exercises or assisting orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, your expertise will be fundamental in delivering person-centered care that promotes resilience and autonomy.

This environment thrives on thoroughness and compassion rather than simple protocols. Each patient comes with their own story, making every therapy session a new chapter in their journey toward recovery. Collaborating with fellow therapists, doctors, nurses, and social workers, you'll develop rehabilitation plans tailored specifically to the needs of each individual.

Embrace Our Team and the Essence of New Orleans

We have crafted a special culture here within our rehab team. It's not merely about clocking hours; it's about supporting one another, sharing knowledge, and rejoicing in every victory, whether big or small. Within these walls, your opinions are valued, personal growth is championed, and every day, you witness the impact of your work firsthand.

Surrounding you is the enchanting city of New Orleans , a destination overflowing with vibrant history and artistic expression. The warm, lively streets are imbued with melodic jazz and tantalizing aromas wafting from colorful food stalls. Picture yourself unwinding on the banks of the Mississippi River, diving into a world of culinary adventures, and savoring the unparalleled festivals that keep the spirit of the city alive.

From historic architecture to unique art galleries, the community embodies a dynamism that welcomes creativity, diversity, and joy. It's a place where time moves at a pace that allows for connection - moments spent savoring gumbo at a local restaurant or sharing stories during leisurely strolls along the vibrant streets of the French Quarter.

Who We Are Looking For

We need an individual who views occupational therapy as more than just a job - it's a true vocation. Someone who beams with pride when a patient regains use of their hand, strides with less assistance, or finally shares a thought they had kept to themselves. Whether you bring years of experience or are a fresh OTR / L graduate, you will flourish here with a heart dedicated to service, a hustle for excellence, and a foundation of humility in your practice.

If you envision combining exceptional healthcare with a vibrant lifestyle, this is the place for you.
