Travel Occupational Therapist

Embark on a rewarding journey as an Occupational Therapist in Thornton, Colorado, and make a lasting impact on patients’ daily living and independence. This opportunity places you at the forefront of evidence‑based practice, allowing you to design and implement customized therapy plans that empower individuals to regain function, confidence, and autonomy. Picture yourself collaborating with a dedicated multidisciplinary team, using innovative approaches to enhance activity performance, promote safety, and expand participation in meaningful everyday tasks.

This assignment isn’t just about clinical care; it’s about guiding clients toward thriving lives, celebrating small victories, and building resilience in the face of challenges.

Thornton sits in the thriving Denver metropolitan region, offering convenient access to urban amenities, outdoor adventures, and a dynamic professional community. Working here means you can enjoy a balanced lifestyle: close proximity to mountains for weekend hikes, biking, and skiing, plus museums, restaurants, cultural events, and top‑tier healthcare networks at your fingertips. Beyond Thornton, this opportunity may also open doors to other U.S. locations through flexible assignments, expanding your exposure to different patient populations, clinical settings, and care models while you stay connected to a supportive network.

• You will assess, plan, and implement occupational therapy interventions across diverse settings, with a focus on enabling independence in activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and meaningful daily routines. You’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, establish patient‑centered goals, develop and modify evidence‑based treatment plans, and document progress to inform ongoing care. Your expertise will guide adaptation of environments and assistive devices, cognitive and perceptual retraining, motor skill development, and safe discharge planning.
• Experience growth across patient populations and care environments: inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient clinics, home health, and transitional care. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, speech‑language pathologists, social workers, and caregivers, enriching your clinical perspective and broadening your skill set.
• Competitive benefits aligned with a travel‑oriented role, including a weekly pay range of $2,447–$2,539, incentive bonuses, and robust housing support. You’ll have the opportunity for contract extensions based on agency needs and your performance, providing a clear path to longer‑term involvement if you wish.
• Comprehensive support that travels with you: 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team, travel coordination, onboarding resources, and access to clinical mentorship and peer guidance. You’re never isolated on assignment; help is available whenever you need it, no matter the location.
• Flexibility in scheduling and guaranteed hours: while the hours are not guaranteed, the program is designed to maximize consistent clinical time and professional fulfillment. Start date is 01/19/2026, with a weeks‑long contract that can be extended based on mutual fit and performance. The combination of flexible scheduling and dependable support enables you to maintain a healthy professional rhythm while delivering meaningful care.
