Job Description

Job Description

Step into an exciting contract opportunity where your expertise as an Occupational Therapist can have a meaningful impact in educational settings. Three full-time roles are available, supporting diverse student populations across various school sites. You’ll collaborate with dedicated teams and help students thrive academically and functionally during the 2026-2027 school year.

Assignments include positions split between Lancashire and Maple Lane Elementary, at Mount Pleasant Elementary, or with a combined Middle and High School caseload. Each role is onsite, offering a dynamic, supportive environment perfect for professionals passionate about pediatric and school-based OT.

Required Qualifications:

  • Hold a current Delaware Occupational Therapist license (please provide a copy upon application)
  • Experience delivering OT services in school settings strongly preferred
  • Commitment to working onsite across specified school sites (no remote/hybrid options)
  • Capable of managing varied caseloads with students requiring both direct and consultative support
  • Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills for engaging with teachers, staff, and families
  • Must be able to cover the cost of $85 CBC fingerprinting (must confirm agreement before applying)
  • COTA not eligible due to limited supervisory staff

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver evidence-based OT assessments and interventions to support IEP goals
  • Adapt learning materials and environments for students’ unique motor and sensory needs
  • Document progress, maintain compliance with all special education regulations, and participate in IEP meetings
  • Coach and collaborate with educators and caregivers to generalize OT strategies throughout the school day

Benefits of This Role:

  • School-based schedule: Monday through Friday, with consistent daytime hours (37.5 hours/week)
  • Build experience with a range of educational settings and student age groups
  • Professional and collaborative multi-disciplinary teams

If you are energized by helping students reach their fullest potential and meet the criteria above, please submit your resume and current DE OT license today! Embark on a rewarding school-based OT journey.
