Your Purpose Here

In this fulfilling role, you will do more than just treat conditions-you will help restore daily habits, rekindle self-confidence, and revive joy in everyday living. Whether you are guiding stroke recovery, supporting a patient's journey following surgery, or helping clients reclaim vital skills, your expertise will shine through in every interaction.

This is a vibrant setting where every patient's experience is a unique narrative and each therapeutic session represents a chapter in their recovery story. You'll be collaborating with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to create rehab plans that honor the individuality of those behind them.

The Team and the Community Awaits You

We've cultivated an extraordinary environment here. Our rehabilitation team embodies support and encouragement-all of us working together to learn, grow, and celebrate victories in the care we provide.

A place where urban vibrancy meets nature's tranquility, you'll find lush parks, thriving arts communities, and culinary experiences that span from food trucks to farm-to-table dining. The city is rich with history, complemented by modern amenities that enhance both work-life balance and personal fulfillment.

Des Moines is a community that thrives on inclusivity, creativity, and camaraderie, offering countless opportunities for exploration and relaxation alike. Here, the pace invites moments of reflection and connection, whether through brand new experiences or familiar passions.

Your Ideal Candidate

We are searching for someone who views occupational therapy as more than just a career but as a personal mission. We want a dedicated individual who thrives with each patient milestone, whether it's regaining fine motor skills, achieving increased mobility, or expressing thoughts previously held back.

If you are a compassionate OTR/L with a fierce dedication to making a difference in the lives of those you serve, you will thrive within our patient-centric culture that seamlessly weaves quality care into a fulfilling lifestyle.

Join Us in Making a Difference

This is more than just a job offer; it's your chance to be a part of something meaningful-a chance to reshape lives, rejuvenate recoveries, and reawaken lost capabilities. In a region uniquely positioned for both ambition and tranquility, you'll create a lasting impact.

So if you're ready to invest in your professional journey and immerse yourself in a caring community-your future starts here. Join us and let's cultivate something beautiful, together.
