In this position, you'll move beyond simply addressing symptoms—you'll assist in restoring routines, rebuilding self-esteem, and reigniting joy in everyday life. From guiding stroke survivors through motor skill rehabilitation to aiding orthopedic patients in recovering post-surgery, you will utilize your expertise to deliver individualized care that promotes resilience and autonomy.

This isn't merely about ticking boxes; it's about understanding that each patient has a unique story, and each session contributes to their journey towards recovery. You will collaborate with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to develop rehabilitation plans as distinctive as the patients themselves.

Enjoy leisurely bike rides along the scenic Genesee River or explore local gems—from cozy bookstores to quaint cafes that serve up delectable local bites.

We are looking for someone who views occupational therapy as more than just a job, but as a vocation. Someone whose heart swells when they witness a patient rediscover their strength, take steps with less assistance, or communicate a thought they previously couldn't articulate.

If you are an experienced OTR/L or a newly certified practitioner, you will flourish here by bringing passion, dedication, and humility to your practice. If the thought of integrating exceptional patient care with a fulfilling lifestyle resonates with you—this is where you belong.

This is more than just a job—this is a chance to be a part of something significant. Your efforts will influence futures, invigorate recoveries, and renew what has been lost, all while enjoying a pace of life that fosters balance and harmony.

If you are ready to enhance your career and immerse yourself in a community that genuinely cares—your next adventure with us begins now.
