Part-Time | 2 Days/Week to Start | Opportunity to Grow

Birch Tree Therapies is seeking an Occupational Therapist to join our therapist-centered team for the 2026–2027 school year. We are a therapist-owned and operated company, built by school-based clinicians who understand what this job actually looks like day-to-day. That means no unrealistic expectations, no impossible caseloads, and no feeling like you’re on your own. For this role, we are looking for an OT with school-based experience who is excited to continue learning and growing alongside a supportive team. You'll be stepping into an established school caseload and helping provide additional support where it's needed most. We currently have 2 full days available at one school, with opportunities for additional days at other BTT schools expected to open up soon.

What Makes This Position Unique

• Opportunity to pick up additional days at other BTT schools as they become available
• Supportive team of experienced school-based clinicians
• Strong mentorship and opportunities for continued professional growth
• Paid documentation time built into your schedule
• Leadership that understands the clinical and day-to-day demands of school-based work

What You’ll Do

• Provide student-centered, strengths-based occupational therapy services
• Conduct evaluations, re-evaluations, and screenings
• Develop and implement meaningful, functional IEP goals
• Collaborate closely with teachers, families, and school teams
• Support regulation, participation, and independence in natural classroom settings
• Provide consultation and help identify accommodations and strategies that support student participation
• Maintain organized and timely documentation

Who We’re Looking For

• Licensed PA Occupational Therapist
• NBCOT certified
• Prior school-based OT experience
• Confident clinical skills and strong clinical reasoning
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Committed to neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed care
• Motivated, reflective, and interested in continuing to learn and grow

Compensation & Benefits

Our W-2 packages are individualized based on your needs and the structure of your role. All BTT therapists receive:

• Competitive compensation
• Paid documentation time
• Mentorship and ongoing support
• Opportunities for professional growth within the company

Additional benefits may be included based on your individual package and may include:

• Health insurance options
• Paid time off
• Stipends for materials, travel, and continuing education
• Short-term disability
• Retirement packages

Why Birch Tree Therapies

We are a small, tight-knit team that truly prioritizes therapist well-being. You’ll be working with clinicians who get it, who are available to problem-solve with you, and who care deeply about both their students and their team. We believe great therapy happens when therapists feel supported, respected, and empowered, and that’s exactly what we aim to provide. If you’re an experienced OT looking for a part-time school-based role where you can do meaningful work, be part of a supportive team, and continue to grow as a clinician, we’d love to connect!
