This role, spanning the academic year from September 8, 2026, through June 16, 2027, focuses on delivering specialized occupational therapy services that nurture young learners’ abilities and bolster their confidence as they engage with classroom tasks.

Your expertise will shine as you provide a mix of consultative and direct occupational therapy interventions, targeting fine motor development and sensory needs for a manageable caseload of approximately 25 students.

  • Strong organizational skills to balance consultative and hands-on service delivery

Primary responsibilities:

  • Provide consultative support to teachers to enhance student access and participation
  • Implement individualized therapy sessions, focusing on practical classroom skills
  • Develop and monitor goals for student progress
  • Participate in IEP meetings and communicate regularly with stakeholders

Enjoy the chance to make a meaningful difference in a supportive, single-building environment, and take pride in helping students achieve greater autonomy and satisfaction at school.

Ready to inspire and empower the next generation of learners? Don’t miss your chance to contribute your talents where they matter most—apply today and embark on a fulfilling school-based contract for the next academic year.

Compensation for this position ranges from $39.46 to $59.46. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
