eLuma is seeking virtual occupational therapists in New Mexico
who share in our mission to help all students achieve their potential.
Students with fine-motor, sensory-processing, and functional-skill challenges need occupational therapy to access the curriculum and participate fully in school life. But qualified school-based OTs are increasingly difficult for districts to find, especially in communities with limited local pipelines.
For over 15 years, eLuma has been connecting credentialed occupational therapists with more than 500 school districts nationwide. We match your availability and expertise to students who need you most, so you can deliver meaningful therapy without sacrificing the flexibility you have earned.
If you are ready to make a real impact on your own terms, we want to hear from you.
About This OpportunityWe are actively placing New Mexico OTs for the school year. The need is for 15 hours per week.
