Support Recovery and Purpose in a Place Where Innovation Meets Natural Calm

If you're a licensed Occupational Therapist with a passion for helping people rediscover confidence, movement, and meaning in their daily lives, this opportunity is your invitation to thrive in every sense of the word. Whether you're guiding a stroke survivor through motor skill retraining or helping an aging patient modify their home environment, your impact here is deeply felt, well supported, and truly valued. In a region where state-of-the-art medicine lives side by side with rolling trails and fresh air, you'll find a rhythm that keeps you growing professionally while grounding you personally.

Here, we don't just treat the diagnosis — we treat the whole person. You'll join a collaborative, mission-driven rehab team that believes in connected care: the kind that stretches across disciplines, embraces patient stories, and brings heart to every plan of care.

Whether you're an experienced OT or a recent grad eager to grow, this is a place where your skills will shine and your development will be nurtured.

What You'll Be Doing

As a full-time Occupational Therapist, you'll work closely with patients to assess their physical and cognitive abilities, set meaningful recovery goals, and create customized treatment plans that promote independence, safety, and long-term success. You'll guide patients through hands-on therapy sessions that improve fine motor skills, coordination, range of motion, and adaptive function. With each interaction, you'll build trust and motivation, helping patients regain autonomy in dressing, cooking, bathing, and all the small routines that make up a life.

You'll also play a vital role in educating patients and their caregivers, offering practical strategies to carry therapy beyond the clinical space. Whether you're recommending home modifications or demonstrating adaptive tools, you'll ensure that progress made in the clinic translates to confidence at home.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of how we work. You'll partner daily with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, and physicians to deliver comprehensive care tailored to the individual. And as you monitor progress, modify goals, and celebrate milestones, you'll be empowered to make clinical decisions that reflect both best practices and patient values.

Why You'll Love the Team — and the Surroundings That Support You

In our rehab department, you won't just be another provider on the schedule — you'll be a respected colleague, a trusted contributor, and a valued part of a close-knit clinical family. We believe the best patient care happens when clinicians are supported, seen, and given space to grow. From robust orientation programs to continuing education stipends and mentorship pathways, you'll have the resources you need to keep moving forward in your own career while helping others do the same.

Whether you're pursuing a specialty certification, mentoring a new grad, or dreaming of leadership down the line, we'll walk alongside you with encouragement and opportunity. We also believe in flexibility and work-life harmony, with full-time schedules that support your personal life as much as your clinical one.

And when you step outside the clinic? You'll find yourself in one of the Midwest's most vibrant and livable regions. Surrounded by lakes and threaded with bike trails, this capital city is known for its four-season beauty, outdoor recreation, and deep community roots. It's the kind of place where you can paddleboard before work, catch a local music festival after your shift, and eat at restaurants that highlight the region's best farm-to-table flavors.

The community blends grassroots creativity with world-class research, with a unique balance of civic energy and small-town ease. Neighborhoods are walkable, schools are strong, and wellness is a way of life. Whether you're moving with a family, a partner, or your own big dreams, you'll find connection, culture, and a sense of belonging around every corner.
