Caseloads are manageable, with 19 students at Moriarty Elementary, 15 at Route 66 Elementary, and a couple of high school students requiring more focused support. The majority of travel will be minimal, with campuses in close proximity for straightforward transitions.

Key Qualifications:

• Valid OT licensure and relevant certifications for school settings
• Experience delivering OT services within academic environments preferred
• Willingness to submit and update documentation for the PED process
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Collaborative mindset, eager to engage with a caring team

What You’ll Do:

• Provide evaluations, individual and group therapy, and consultative support for students with diverse needs
• Develop therapy goals and implement intervention plans tailored to each student
• Document progress, maintain compliance with state and district guidelines, and communicate regularly with staff and families
• Participate in IEP meetings and contribute to an inclusive school culture

Enjoy the advantage of working in a smaller, welcoming district where your expertise shapes young lives and your contributions are recognized. If you’re ready to bring your skills to a supportive environment that appreciates dedication and collaboration, apply today and start your next rewarding chapter with a team that cares.
