Job Description

Build Independence Where It Matters Most — At Home

@Home Therapy is seeking a licensed Occupational Therapist to provide in-home services to adult and geriatric patients in the Great Neck area. This per diem opportunity is ideal for clinicians who value autonomy, flexible scheduling, and meaningful one-on-one care in a home setting.
In this role, you’ll focus on helping individuals safely navigate daily routines, regain functional abilities, and remain independent in their own environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Functional Therapy in the Home:

• Assess patients’ ability to perform everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing, and meal preparation.
• Identify environmental barriers and recommend modifications to improve safety and accessibility.

Individualized Treatment Approach:

• Create targeted therapy plans that support independence and long-term function.
• Incorporate adaptive techniques, equipment training, and energy conservation strategies.

Ongoing Patient Support:

• Monitor progress and adjust interventions based on patient needs and goals.
• Provide hands-on guidance to caregivers to reinforce therapy outcomes.

Documentation & Coordination:

• Complete visit notes using a web-based EMR system.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary team members when needed.

Why Clinicians Choose @Home Therapy:

• Flexible Caseload Options: Design a schedule that fits your availability — take on as many or as few patients as you prefer.
• Efficient Back-End Support: Administrative staff assist with coordination and logistics, allowing you to stay focused on clinical care.
• Competitive Per-Visit Compensation: Transparent pay structure with opportunities to increase earnings based on your caseload.
• Clinical Growth Opportunities: Access optional resources and mentorship to expand your skills in home-based care.

Qualifications:

• Active New York State Occupational Therapist license.
• Interest in adult and geriatric populations.
• Strong interpersonal and patient education skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a home care environment.
• Familiarity with EMR systems (or willingness to learn).

Who This Role Is Great For:

This position is well-suited for OTs who prefer:

• A less structured, field-based workday.
• Building direct relationships with patients in their homes.
• A focus on functional outcomes rather than clinic-based volume.
