Position: Occupational Therapist (OT) - Acute Care Hospital

Occupational Therapist – Acute Care (Hospital-Based)

Full-Time | $15K Sign-On Bonus | Relocation Assistance | Mentorship Program

Why This Role Stands Out

Build Diverse Acute Care

Skills:

  • Work in a Level II Trauma Center with Certified Stroke Center designation
  • See a full spectrum of acute cases: ICU, stroke, trauma, ortho, neuro, and general medical
  • Gain exposure to high-acuity patients in a major regional medical center
  • Part of an 8-hospital health system with opportunities for internal mobility

Manageable Caseload & Realistic Expectations:

  • See 8–10 patients per day in a hospital setting
  • Productivity goals are loosely tracked—focus on quality patient care, not quotas
  • Work alongside experienced PTs, PTAs, COTAs, and SLPs in a collaborative environment

Exceptional Mentorship (New Grads Welcome!):

  • Formal mentorship program with experienced preceptors
  • Structured onboarding designed to build competency within 90 days
  • Gradual ramp-up: full days with preceptor → half days → independent practice with chart review support
  • Learn from a leadership team with decades of acute care experience

Strong Financial Package:

  • $15,000 sign-on bonus ($5,000 after orientation, then $2,500 at 7, 12, 18, and 24 months)
  • $2/hour shift differential for acute care
  • Up to $2,500 relocation assistance (reimbursed with receipts)
  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
Schedule & Benefits

Schedule:

  • Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM with 30-minute lunch
  • Weekend rotation: 1 in 4 when fully staffed

Comprehensive Benefits:

  • 21 days PTO (start accruing Day
    1) + 12 sick days annually
  • 403(b) retirement plan with 50% employer match up to 6% (3% total contribution)
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance starting Day 1
  • $250/year CEU budget + 1 paid education day for completing 6 CEUs
  • PSLF-eligible (nonprofit hospital system)
  • YMCA partnership for discounted membership
You're a Strong Fit If You:
  • Hold a degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program and are licensed or license-eligible
  • Are a new graduate or experienced therapist looking to grow in acute care
  • Thrive in collaborative, team-oriented environments
  • Are passionate about helping medically complex patients regain function and independence
  • Want to build a versatile acute care skillset in a supportive, mentorship-driven setting
