Tap Healthcare Solutions is seeking a compassionate and skilled Occupational Therapist (OT) to join WelbeHealth in San Jose, California. This opportunity is ideal for an OT who enjoys working with adults and older adults and is passionate about helping individuals maintain the independence, confidence, and functional abilities needed to participate fully in everyday life.

In this role, you will evaluate participants' functional needs, develop individualized treatment strategies, and provide therapeutic interventions designed to improve or preserve independence with activities of daily living. Offering a competitive salary of $114,000 – $136,000 annually, this position provides the opportunity to work with a complex adult and geriatric population while collaborating with an interdisciplinary healthcare team focused on supporting each participant's overall quality of life.

• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
• Valid California Occupational Therapy license or documented proof of eligibility for California licensure.
• One (1) to two (2) years of professional experience.
