Occupational Therapist (OTR) Skilled Nursing

Theradynamics

Occupational Therapist

Restore Independence. Transform Lives.

Occupational therapy in the skilled nursing setting is about one thing: helping people get back to the activities that define their lives. At TheraDynamics, our OTs in SNF settings work with patients recovering from strokes, hip fractures, cardiac events, and progressive neurological conditions. You will design creative, functional interventions that address ADLs, cognitive retraining, upper extremity rehabilitation, and safe discharge planning. Your work directly determines whether a patient goes home or stays in a facility — and we give you the tools, time, and support to make that happen.

What You Will Do

You will conduct comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans focused on functional independence, and collaborate with nursing, PT, SLP, and social work to ensure coordinated patient care. You will address self-care skills, cognitive and perceptual deficits, home safety, adaptive equipment needs, and caregiver training. Your clinical reasoning will be valued, and your productivity expectations will be realistic.

What We Offer

  • Competitive pay: (based on experience and location)
  • 5 weeks of Paid Time Off
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Unlimited free CEUs through our online learning platform Medbridge
  • Parental leave
  • Flexible scheduling (full-time, part-time, and per diem options available)
  • Clinical mentorship program for new graduates
  • Referral bonus program
  • H1B Visa Sponsorship

What You Bring

  • Master's or Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program
  • Current or eligible for New York State OT license
  • NBCOT certification (or eligible)
  • Passion for helping patients regain independence
  • Strong clinical reasoning and creative problem-solving skills
  • New graduates are encouraged to apply

Apply today and join a company that was built by therapists, for therapists.
