Our goal isn’t simply to provide you with a job. It’s to create an environment where you can continue building a career that reflects your strengths, interests, and the impact you want to have.

Why Premier?

Choosing your next practice is an important decision, and we don't take that lightly.

We've built a practice grounded in strong clinical standards, sustainable caseloads, and real administrative support so therapists can focus on doing their best clinical work. We're proud of what that's made possible for the children and families we serve.

We also believe strong practices should continue evolving. As we grow, we’re intentional about strengthening what we do well and developing new ways to expand access to care. We want the therapists closest to that work to have a meaningful voice in how those efforts move forward.

That's why we look for therapists who are curious, collaborative, direct in their communication, and solutions-focused. In return, you’ll find a team that values your perspective, supports your growth, and believes the best outcomes for children and families are achieved together.

About the Role

As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, you’ll provide individualized, family-centered care while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team dedicated to helping children reach their fullest potential.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Complete functional occupational therapy evaluations.
• Develop individualized plans of care based on each child’s strengths, needs, and goals.
• Provide skilled, evidence-informed occupational therapy services.
• Partner with parents and caregivers through education, collaboration, and ongoing communication.
• Collaborate with other therapists and members of the child’s care team.
• Participate in clinical discussions, continued learning, and initiatives that support our families and practice.

Full-time occupational therapists are scheduled for up to 32 sessions per week, with a minimum expectation of 28 completed visits. Dedicated documentation time is built into each day, and our model creates room within the workweek for collaboration, professional growth, and contributions beyond individual sessions.

Clinical Experience and Interests:

Our therapists work with children across a wide range of developmental needs.

Experience or interest in one or more of the following areas is especially helpful:

• Sensory integration and regulation.
• Feeding.
• DIR/Floortime.
• AAC.
• Parent coaching and caregiver education.

What You Can Expect:

• A collaborative, supportive culture. Work alongside therapists who share knowledge, problem solve together, and support one another. Regular celebrations, appreciation events, and team-building activities are part of how we stay connected and recognize the people behind the work.
• Meaningful administrative support that manages scheduling and the day-to-day operational responsibilities so therapists can focus on their clinical work.
• Growth beyond the caseload. Whether you want to deepen your clinical expertise, mentor others, develop programs, lead projects, or create resources for families, we look for opportunities to build on your strengths and interests including contributions beyond direct care during the workweek.

Compensation and Benefits

Salary: $75,000–$85,000+ annually, based on experience, clinical expertise, and qualifications.

Benefits include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Short- and long-term disability coverage.
• Life insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays.
• Continuing education reimbursement.
• Employee Assistance Program.
• $2500 Sign-on bonus.

Qualifications:

• Master’s or Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
• Current Virginia Occupational Therapy license or eligibility for Virginia licensure.
• Strong clinical reasoning and ability to provide individualized, family-centered care.
• Commitment to collaboration, professional communication, and continued growth.
• Prior pediatric occupational therapy experience preferred but not required.
