If you're looking for a part-time Occupational Therapist role where you can collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, build meaningful relationships with families, and practice evidence-based, play-centered therapy, we'd love to meet you. At Cortica, we believe every child deserves care that sees the whole person—not just a diagnosis. Our Occupational Therapists work alongside Speech-Language Pathologists, Behavior Analysts, Physicians, Mental Health Clinicians, and other specialists to create truly integrated treatment plans that help children thrive.

• Collaborative multidisciplinary care model
• Play-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach

• Continuing education and professional development support
• Career growth within a rapidly expanding organization
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with company match and rapid vesting

As an Occupational Therapist at Cortica, you'll help children build meaningful life skills through individualized, engaging therapy. You'll:

• Complete comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations using standardized and dynamic assessments
• Develop individualized treatment plans that reflect each child's strengths, interests, and goals
• Deliver engaging, play-based therapy focused on sensory processing, emotional regulation, fine motor development, self-care skills, and participation in daily activities
• Collaborate closely with families and an interdisciplinary clinical team to provide integrated care
• Participate in co-treatment sessions when clinically appropriate
• Educate caregivers with practical home strategies that support continued progress
• Maintain documentation and billing that supports high-quality care
• Contribute ideas that help strengthen and grow our clinical programs

• Current California Occupational Therapy License
• Master's degree in Occupational Therapy
• Passion for working with children and their families
• Interest in interdisciplinary collaboration
• Growth mindset and eagerness to learn
• Experience with pediatric therapy preferred, but clinicians with strong pediatric foundations are encouraged to apply

Our mission is simple: to design and deliver life-changing care—one child, one family, and one community at a time. We foster a collaborative, inclusive culture where clinicians are empowered to learn, innovate, and make a lasting impact. Every discipline has a voice, every teammate is valued, and every child receives care tailored to their unique strengths. If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally while making a meaningful difference every day, we'd love to connect with you.
