Occupational Therapist / OTR

MLee Healthcare Staffing and Recruiting, Inc

Occupational Therapist / OTR

Transform Lives as an Occupational Therapist in Vibrant Chicago

As a dedicated Occupational Therapist, your passion for facilitating independence and enhancing the lives of patients is invaluable. If you're eager to make a profound difference while advancing your career in one of the most dynamic cities in the country, you've come to the right place.

We're on the lookout for a full-time licensed OTR/L who can blend their skills with a progressive, collaborative therapy team. This environment celebrates creativity, connection, and effectiveness—and whether you are an experienced professional or a newcomer to the field, your role here is essential.

Create Tailored Treatment Plans: Assess individual needs and develop personalized therapy strategies to help patients meet their functional objectives.

Implement Therapeutic Techniques: Use research-based methods to improve patients' motor capabilities, cognitive function, and daily living skills.

Collaborate with Diverse Teams: Partner with OTs, PTs, STs, physicians, and nursing staff to deliver thorough, integrated care.

Guide Patients and Families: Train patients and their families on therapy methods for sustained progress beyond the clinical setting.

Track and Document Success: Monitor patient development and adapt treatment plans as necessary to maintain focus on their goals.

Accredited degree in Occupational Therapy

Ongoing education or advanced certifications encouraged and nurtured

Valid Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) license

NBCOT certification mandated

A strong commitment to aiding others and fostering independence

Empathetic and clear communication with patients and team members alike

Innovative problem-solving abilities tailored to diverse patient needs

Confidence in self-directed work and collaboration within an interdisciplinary environment

Team-centered culture with abundant growth opportunities

Flexible full-time schedule

Access to mentoring and professional development

Top-quality tools and facilities

Engagement in quality improvement and innovative projects

In this position, you're not merely addressing symptoms; you play a pivotal role in transforming lives. Whether you're assisting stroke survivors in regaining dexterity or guiding orthopedic patients back to their normal routines, you will apply your knowledge and compassion to deliver exceptional care focused on resilience and self-sufficiency.

Our approach avoids the mundane and unfeeling routines; instead, every patient represents a unique narrative waiting to unfold, and each therapy session contributes to their renewal. Working alongside a dedicated team of therapists, medical professionals, and social workers, you will customize rehabilitation strategies that honor the individuality of each person.

We've created a remarkable culture within our rehabilitation team; we don't just show up for work—we cheer one another on, exchange insights, and celebrate victories collectively. In this space, your contributions matter, and your development is prioritized, all while you see the tangible results of your hard work each day.

And let's not forget the backdrop: Chicago, a metropolis that brims with energy and endless possibilities. This city is a vibrant tapestry of architecture and art, with its bustling streets home to culinary delights from every corner of the globe. From historic jazz clubs where music reverberates through the evening air to sprawling parks and picturesque lakefronts perfect for enjoying a sunny day, you'll find both inspiration and relaxation are just moments away.

With an artistic community that invites all walks of life, you're surrounded by innovation from fellow artists and professionals alike—all balancing life's hustle with cherished moments spent in cozy cafes or lively public parks.

We're seeking someone who views occupational therapy as more than just a job, but as their life's passion. Your heart should light up every time a patient accomplishes a new task, regains confidence, or narrates a story previously lost to them.

If you're a seasoned OTR/L or a fresh graduate seeking your career launchpad, you will flourish in a setting that values compassion, hard work, and humility. If the idea of coupling quality medical care with a vibrant lifestyle resonates with you, we believe you will find your home here.

This is an opportunity not just to earn a title but to contribute to an inspiring mission. At this practice, your work will profoundly alter lives, energize recoveries, and help reclaim what was once lost—all while you enjoy the benefits of living in a city unparalleled in its charm.

If you're feeling ready to cultivate your own growth while supporting a community that truly cares, we can't wait to meet you.
