Occupational Therapist (OT) – Neuro Home & Community

Why clinicians love this role:

• Flexible scheduling with full control over your week
• True clinical autonomy in treatment planning
• 1:1 focused care — no double booking
• Paid hourly + paid documentation time
• Mileage reimbursement + drive time paid (manageable and thoughtful coverage areas — no road warriors here — we keep you local!)
• Neuro-focused, functional caseloads

We’re redefining what occupational therapy looks like in neuro rehab.

If you’re an OT who is tired of high-volume settings, rushed sessions, and feeling like you don’t have enough time to truly help your patients get back to the things that matter most—this role is the opposite of that.

We provide true one-on-one neuro rehab in home and community settings, where therapy happens in the environments where your patients actually live, work, and participate in their communities.

This is a high-autonomy role where you control your schedule, manage your caseload, and focus on meaningful functional outcomes—not productivity quotas.

You’ll work with individuals recovering from neurological conditions such as stroke, TBI, SCI, Parkinson’s disease, and more, helping them regain independence with daily activities, cognitive and executive functioning, community reintegration, home management, return to work, and the routines that are meaningful to their lives.

Instead of simply practicing skills in a clinic, you have the opportunity to help someone cook in their own kitchen, navigate a grocery store, return to work, manage their daily routine, or safely participate in their community again.

If you became an OT to help people get back to living their lives, this is the kind of work that makes that possible.
