Occupational Therapist

Join Our Clinician-Led Team As A Confident, Growth-Minded Occupational Therapist

At The New Jersey Doctors of Physical Therapy, we are the largest PT-owned practice in the state and are recognized by our patients as the 5-Star Standard for Physical Therapy Care.

We offer the opportunity to earn $120,000+, with total compensation valued up to $130,000+ including benefits, supported by structured mentorship, clinical development, and a clear growth path within an independently operated practice.

NJDPT offers a long-term career path without the high-volume feel of many corporate outpatient models. Our clinicians typically treat 1–2 patients per hour, allowing time for individualized care, clinical growth, and work-life balance.

As our Occupational Therapist, you will collaborate with an experienced team of Doctors of Physical Therapy while bringing your occupational therapy expertise to our interdisciplinary practice. This is a unique opportunity to help build and grow NJDPT's occupational therapy services while developing your own caseload across all ages within an established, clinician-led practice.
