We invite you to join our dedicated and innovative therapy team as a full-time, licensed OTR/L professional.

  • Implement Therapeutic Techniques: Leverage evidence-based practices to support patients in enhancing their motor skills, cognitive abilities, and daily activities.
  • Collaborate with Diverse Teams: Work closely alongside other OTs, PTs, STs, medical professionals, and nurses to deliver comprehensive patient care.
  • Guide Patients and Families: Provide education to patients and their families on therapy methods to encourage continuous progress outside of your sessions.
  • Document and Evaluate Progress: Keep meticulous records of patient progress and adjust treatment plans as necessary to ensure optimal outcomes.

  • Full-time hours with adaptable scheduling options
  • Clinical mentorship and resources for professional development
  • Access to superior tools, facilities, and documentation systems
  • Engagement in quality initiatives and innovative projects

Daily Responsibilities

In this role, you'll have the chance to do more than just treat conditions-you'll play a crucial role in helping patients reclaim their routines, rebuild their confidence, and find joy in life again. Whether you're supporting stroke survivors with fine motor skills rehabilitation or aiding orthopedic patients in regaining mobility, your expertise will create a profound, person-centered difference in their lives.

This is not a job defined by checklists and shortcuts. Here, every patient has a unique story, and each therapy session contributes to their journey back to wellness. You will collaborate with a talented team of therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to design rehabilitation plans as unique as the individuals you assist.

Why Join Us - and Embrace the Location

We have cultivated a special culture within our rehab team. We uplift one another, share insights, and celebrate milestones both big and small. Here, you'll discover a workplace that encourages your voice, prioritizes your personal development, and ensures your contributions resonate every day.

The backdrop for your work might just be one of the most desirable places on the West Coast: Chula Vista . This area is known for its breathtaking coastlines, cultural diversity, and outdoor fun. Picture weekends spent surfing and sunbathing, exploring parks, or savoring culinary delights at local eateries that reflect the rich tapestry of cultures.

From dynamic farmers' markets brimming with farm-fresh produce to vibrant festivals celebrating the arts, the community is alive with opportunities to experience culture and connection. Living in Chula Vista means you immerse yourself in sunshine, outdoor adventures, and a rhythm of life that embraces both prosperity and leisure.

Ideal Candidate

We seek a candidate who views occupational therapy as more than just a job-it's a vocation. Someone who feels exhilaration at a patient's early steps towards independence, the twinkling eyes of a person regaining their voice, or the satisfaction of witnessing incremental victories.

Whether you are a seasoned OTR/L or a brilliant newcomer just earning your credentials, if you come ready with passion, dedication, and humility, you'll find your place here. If the intersection of exceptional care with remarkable living excites you, you have found your ideal environment.

A Call to Create Meaningful Change

This is more than just another job listing; it's an invitation to help build something significant. Your contributions can reshape lives, fuel healing journeys, and rekindle what was once lost. All of this takes place in a community that perfectly balances hard work with the joy of living.

So, if you're eager to evolve, contribute, and immerse yourself in a caring community - we are ready to welcome you in!
