Overview

Are you an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist eager to assist individuals in reclaiming their autonomy and enhancing their daily lives? If you are prepared to make a lasting difference while advancing your career in a city renowned for its rich history, diverse culture, and artistic vibrancy, then this opportunity is for you.

We are on the lookout for a full-time, licensed OTR/L to become a vital member of a progressive, collaborative therapy team that prizes innovation, connection, and impactful outcomes. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just embarking on your journey, this position offers you the chance to engage in meaningful work in a city that beats with its own artistic rhythm.

  • Personalized Treatment Development: Assess individual needs and formulate tailored therapeutic plans to support the achievement of functional goals.
  • Implementing Therapeutic Techniques: Apply evidence-based methods to improve patients' motor abilities, cognitive functions, and daily living skills.
  • Collaborative Care: Work alongside fellow OTs, PTs, STs, doctors, and nurses to provide comprehensive and holistic patient care.
  • Education for Patients and Families: Teach patients and their caregivers about therapeutic methods to encourage continued progress at home.
  • Monitor & Document Progress: Keep track of clinical developments and refine treatment strategies as necessary to maintain patient progress.
Educational Requirements
  • Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
  • Ongoing professional education or additional certifications are encouraged and supported.
Licenses and Certifications
  • Active Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) license.
  • NBCOT (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) certification is mandatory.
Essential Skills
  • An authentic commitment to helping individuals achieve their peak level of independence.
  • Exceptional communication skills characterized by empathy with both patients and team members.
  • Creative problem-solving abilities to address varying patient needs.
  • Confidence in working autonomously and within a collaborative, interdisciplinary team.
Benefits of Joining Us
  • A supportive, team-centric workplace with opportunities for professional development.
  • A full-time schedule with flexible shift options.
  • Access to mentorship and resources aimed at career advancement.
  • Utilization of state-of-the-art tools, facilities, and documentation systems.
  • Engagement in quality improvement and innovative projects.

Your Role in Patient Recovery

In this position, you will do more than just address symptoms; you'll work to reintegrate routines, enhance self-assurance, and awaken joy in the everyday. From assisting stroke survivors with fine motor rehabilitation to guiding orthopedic patients toward regained mobility, you will leverage your expertise to provide individualized care that inspires resilience and independence.

This is not a venue for shortcuts or rigid checklists; it's a realm where every patient has a narrative, and each session represents a significant step in their recovery journey. You will collaborate intimately with therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to craft rehabilitation plans that honor the distinct narratives of each patient.

Why You Will Love Our Team - and the Detroit Community

We've cultivated something extraordinary here. Our rehabilitation team doesn't simply complete their shifts; we rally together, share insights, and collectively celebrate every triumph, large or small. You'll discover an environment where your voice is heard, professional growth is nurtured, and your impact resonates daily.

The backdrop for your work is Detroit, a city bursting with creativity and innovation. Imagine a landscape alive with art, culture, and tantalizing culinary experiences. From its iconic Motown roots to farmer's markets brimming with local delicacies, Detroit serves up diverse experiences at every turn. You can stroll through dynamic neighborhoods, enjoy stimulating live performances, and savor delectable gourmet creations, all while soaking in the artistic energy that defines this city.

While the community attracts a medley of artists, entrepreneurs, and thinkers, it maintains a pace that allows for meaningful interactions and spontaneous adventures.

Your Calling Awaits

We seek individuals who regard occupational therapy as more than a job - it's a vocation. If you feel a surge of joy when a patient regains their ability to eat independently, walks with reduced assistance, or articulates a thought long buried, we want you on our team.

Whether you are an experienced OTR/L or a newly certified therapist with passion, diligence, and humility, you will thrive in our welcoming environment. If the prospect of merging top-notch care with a vibrant lifestyle resonates with you - you have found your home.

Join Us in Creating Meaningful Change

This is not just a career opportunity; it's a chance to be part of something meaningful. Here, your contributions will alter lives, catalyze recoveries, and restore what was lost, all within a community that champions balance, collaboration, and growth.

If you are ready to elevate your professional journey and immerse yourself in a caring community - we can't wait to meet you.
